Stage designer Peter Wolf had a long, prolific career creating elaborate sets for Broadway productions, but he was famous locally as the chief stage designer at the Dallas Summer Musicals for more than 30 years. His name should be household, but it’s sadly lost in the spotlight’s shadows. Fortunately, as part of the Bath House Cultural Center’s Festival of Independent Theatres, his work lives on in an exhibition that features photographs, sketches and original designs. See it at Bath House Cultural Center (512 E. Lawther Drive) from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. The exhibition remains on display through August 2. More information is available at dallasculture.org.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 12-6 p.m. Starts: July 5. Continues through Aug. 2, 2014
