Dolly Parton Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie	Sun., May 11, 8:00pm	Grand Prairie	Musical Events
There are two very large, very obvious, protruding reasons to see Dolly Parton perform in person. And then there's a slew of others, not the least of which is the fact that the country music icon ain't getting any younger. No, the 62-year-old singer hasn't shown any signs of slowing... More>>

Dallas Roars! Dallas Zoo	Sat., May 10, 12:00pm-5:00pm (more dates/times)	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Nature Centers/Parks, Festivals & Shows
Moms are way different than dads. For Father's Day you can just give the old man a bottle of scotch and the remote control and you're home free, but you have to put a bit more effort into Mother's Day. After all, she's the one who went through 30 hours of labor for you, and then she spent the next 18 years... More>>

[Magnolia at the Modern] Taxi to the Dark Side The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth	Fri., May 9, 6:00pm (more dates/times)	Fort Worth	Film
Here's my metaphor for why the American public continues to put up with the Bush administration's utter incompetence and rejection of constitutional and Geneva Convention rights: olfactory fatigue. If you were forced to live in an outhouse, thanks to this phenomenon, the stench would bother you for less... More>>

Paul Mooney Improv	Daily from Thu., May 8 until Sun., May 11	Addison	Comedy
In the aftermath of Michael Richards' infamous N-word meltdown, comedian Paul Mooney vowed to stop using the word that torpedoed the career of his fellow comic, calling on others to join him in banishing the word and claiming that Richards' hateful tirade "cured" him of the word. It wasn't a lasting cure,... More>>

Funny runs through the blood of the Sedaris family like corny flows through the Osmonds. Through the immensely popular works by David Sedaris, many of us are aware of the antics of the family, as their dirty laundry has been aired time and time again in Sedaris' short stories, essays and radio appearances....

Artist Michele Mikesell may live and work not far from DECORAZONgallery in Oak Cliff, but she's a nationally known painter represented by many notable galleries.

City of God Hal Samples Gallery	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 3 until Sun., June 1	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Galleries
If there's one thing photographer Hal Samples can do without even speaking, it's make social commentary. His works offer comment on life, levels of suffering or joy and the environment just hanging there still on a wall. Saturday, May 3, Samples opens a showcase of some of his works shot in Brazil (plus a... More>>

If You Give A Pig A Party Dallas Children's Theater	Every week Friday from Fri., May 9 until Fri., May 23, 7:30pm (more dates/times)	Northwest Dallas	Kids Theater
My mother was a children's librarian, and I am currently a reference librarian in a small public library, so I know children's books. But even though I really like kids and they tend to be my favorite patrons to deal with, I am far from the children's librarian type. Yes, I would like to read the... More>>

BitterSweet Landmark Magnolia Pictures	Daily from Thu., April 24 until Tue., May 27	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
We thrive off the raw, nourishing underbelly of this huge concrete mother of a city. Don't let flash and glitter fool you—the real proof of our survival is the enduring hunger to examine our inner nature. To toast awakening talents, boast of independent voices and post diverse visions that raise civic... More>>

May Flowers Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens	Daily from Thu., May 1 until Sat., May 31	White Rock Lake Area	Nature Centers/Parks, Women's Events, Festivals & Shows
Recent studies have proven that women may enjoy, but cannot actually be described as loving flowers until they enter the maternal state. The maternal state, however, is not exclusively that of having passed offspring through the vaginal canal, but may be inclusive of being a pet mommy, baby-sitter,... More>>

Global Warming: still/LIFE and Field Notes McKinney Avenue Contemporary	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., May 9 until Sat., June 21	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
I find it fascinating that once Oprah declared environmentalism suitable for the masses the way she did with literacy, it suddenly became cool to talk about your carbon footprint and recycling programs over dinner. It's really too bad Oprah didn't clear her couch of polygamists and diet gurus 20 years ago... More>>

The Misanthrope Dallas Theater Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from Tue., May 6 until Sun., May 18, 7:30pm (more dates/times)	Uptown & Oak Lawn	Theater
Every time I think of the work of MoliÃ¨re I can't help but also think of John Hughes' The Breakfast Club : specifically the scene in which Judd Nelson's John Bender sits on a card catalog "re-alphabetizing" the cards, pausing at one to drawl, "Moe-lay really pumps my nads." Oddly, The... More>>
