Calendar of Events in Dallas
-
A coworker recently pointed out to me that without fail, iPhones will autocorrect “Deep Ellum” into “Deep Vellum.” Now, we’re not saying that this was the impetus for the new Dallas-based translation company’s name. But it could’ve been. After all, it’s not like they’re actually going to publish on “Vellum: 1) fine parchment made... Read more about this event >>

Kevin Barnes gives zero fucks about what you think about his almost two-decades-long project Of Montreal. If he had a dime for every time a critical missive about his work bothered him he'd have zero dimes. Case in point: The final lyric uttered on last year's Lousy with Sylvianbriar is, “I have no hope for you anymore.” Barnes has bounced from twee-pop, to garage rock, to psych...

-
Comedian Jim Gaffigan has made a living talk about his love of food but unlike some snooty Food Network talking head who treats sustenance as some kind of sexual valhalla, Gaffigan treats like a long, enduring marriage. He clearly loves such an important part of his life, even if it's slowly breeding inside and destroying him. He chronicles his love-hate relationship with edible junk in his...

-
No stranger to celebrity, his own or that of Hollywood actresses, Mario Testino steps away from the glamour of supermodels and royalty to photograph something a little bit more personal in his new exhibition at the Dallas Contemporary. Presented in the United States for the first time in Dallas, Alta Moda, drapes the walls in the West Dallas space like a magazine spread based on his home... Read more about this event >>
-
Spoiler alert, y’all: Bonnie and Clyde do not ride off into the sunset, despite the fact that this is a musical. Nothing changes in the general plot: the outlaws still get gunned down in the end after they do a number of really bad things. The difference here is that there’s a sound track—a fairly upbeat one, considering the carnage--full of gospel, rag-time and a touch of... Read more about this event >>

Open Classical DFW's Halloween special returns to haunt Klyde Warren Park (2012 Woodall Rodgers Fwy) this week. Stop by the park for a spooky night with Decomposing Beethoven (Open Classical Director Mark Landson) who hosts the show with Decomposing Brahms (Thiago Nascimento) at the piano. Highlights: Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, Mozart’s terrifying Queen of the Night arias,... Read more about this event >>
-
Don't be fooled by the name. This isn't a grassroots 2nd Amendment movement. TTNG (This Town Needs Guns) is a math rock band from Oxford, United Kingdom. A.k.a. the place with arguably the greatest university in the world. So, it makes sense that the band relishes smart and complex guitar work and drum patterns and fearless bass plucking. Also, the name is as smart as the band's music. Now... Read more about this event >>
-
Fire and ice and sugar and spice, and all those other things that are so very nice, will be on display Thursday, October 23 at the Latino Cultural Center during Contemporary Ballet Dallas’ season opener, Fire & Ice. Director Valerie Tabor, who was one of our 100 Creatives, will premiere her take on the “Firebird Suite.” Tabor has been collaborating with local musician and... Read more about this event >>
-
If you know the name, Laurie Anderson, but don't fancy yourself an post modernist art music aficianado, it's probably because of her breakout hit in the 1980's “O Superman” - a pulsating synth piece that sounds like an amalgam of Phillip Glass and Imogen Heap. If you haven't heard of her, look up that song on Spotify, right the fuck now. She's totally a weirdo, in the best ways.... Read more about this event >>

Everybody has that friend who self published their novel and is begging you to stop by the Amazon page and give it a sparkling review. The idea of self publishing can earn sneers from the people who believe in the value of the backing of a publishing house. But to present your work to the world with just your name tied to it can be daunting and requires a great deal of vulnerability. As you... Read more about this event >>

Much like Sean Lennon, Ziggy Marley is music royalty. His dad was ridiculously successful at spreading Rastafari around the globe and created some of the greatest music ever recorded. Ziggy Marley has been making music since 1979 when he performed with his siblings and father in the Melody Makers and he is now a multi-instrumentalist with several occupations. In 1986 the group changed its... Read more about this event >>

In association with Klyde Warren Park’s second anniversary celebration, the Dallas Opera is presenting their second annual Opening Night Simulcast in the Park. This year’s offering is Mozart’s comedic masterpiece The Marriage of Figaro. The Dallas Opera’s performance (live from The Winspear Opera House) will be projected onto two large, hi-def LED screens, with lawn... Read more about this event >>

Yes, this is rock 'n' roll. The swagger, the riffs, the whole lot of it. But, it's technically pop, as in popular music, as well. You don't generally have this type of longevity in pop, especially when only one original member of the band is still in the band. Lynyrd Skynyrd has had a revolving door of members throughout the past four decades, but the spirit is alive and well. It's still... Read more about this event >>
-
In a two-year agreement, The FWSO has teamed up with 2013 Cliburn Gold Medalist Vadym Kholodenko to present all five of Prokofiev’s piano concertos; Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor is first on the agenda. Dedicated to a close friend whom he lost to suicide, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is a complex and demanding piece, one that requires an unusually high level of skill to play...

If you don't have kids or live on a block where the neighborhood kids don't throw eggs at the houses that don't give out candy on Halloween, then the best way to enjoy Halloween is by going to a theater for a good, old fashioned horror movie. The Alamo Drafthouse (501 W. Belt Line Rd.) knows how to do Halloween because they have a collection of films that goes beyond the modern torture porn... Read more about this event >>
-
There’s got to be something so sweet about coming home after you hit the big time—and not in a “nyah nyah”, rub-it-in-their-face kinda way. Rather, there’s probably some special feels a person gets after seeing the places where they built themselves up and put in so much of the hard work that eventually paid off for them. Actor Allison Tolman probably knows a... Read more about this event >>

Bro-country is the scourge of all music. It's the worst thing on the radio. It's the worst thing in the history of all music, and that history includes metal singer Vanilla Ice, Rapper Rodney Dangerfield, Billy Bob Thorton and the “All About That Bass” girl. It has turned one of the most purely American creations into a cesspool of auto-tune, Bud Lite Lime and overt nostalgia for... Read more about this event >>
-
When you think of video games, you probably think of overweight guys sitting in their basement den as they spray blood across their TV screen. You probably think of massive guns that not even a body builder could carry and aim with effectively at the same time. The indie game movement has shown that interactive entertainment isn't just a mindless expression of repressed violence. It can also... Read more about this event >>
-
There's an undeniable thirst for nostalgia that pervades hip hop, a longing for the golden age of the 1990s when so much care was placed on lyrics and funk and jazz and soul samples. It all comes full circle when you take into consideration that the a large piece of the time period in question's focus was taking bits and pieces from bygone eras. It also comes full circle with Joey Bada$$, a... Read more about this event >>

Since opening earlier this year, we've been endlessly impressed with the display of art at Zhulong Gallery. This gallery has brought the neighborhood its first tastes of new media art from across the globe. The newest show, Systema, takes an interest in the uses of systems in various realms of human life from the economy to communication. Ranging from Berlin artist Patricia Reed to...

-
The minimalism of Anna Bella Papp's clay sculptures force the viewer up close. It's as though she's invited onlookers into an intimate moment with the art. For the tiny amount of space they actually inhabit, they imply much larger ideas. The Nasher Sculpture Center gives Papp her first museum exhibition as part of its small-scale Sightings series. See her work alongside the midcareer... Read more about this event >>
-
Described as "a powerful play about love in a dystopian society," Ochre House Theater's newest musical, Flower in the Machine, by Kevin Grammer promises all the things we've come to love about this splendid little company, which we recently named the Best Small Theater in Dallas: music, fine acting, and hilarious dialogue. In the play, a young couple falls in love in a world run by machines.... Read more about this event >>

Since the 1990s Southern rap has become one of the most influential sub-genres of American hip hop. It was around this era that the chopped and screwed ontology emerged from the Houston scene, creating a new wave of crossfading sounds. But the slowed tempo, skipped beats, record scratching and stopped techniques created a different type of musical adoption, one that was chopped up but never... Read more about this event >>
-
If you took a pinch of Gallagher, mixed it with a cup of Ira Glass, and then added a dash or so of Paula Deen’s more polite southern sensibilities (while making sure there is absolutely no Guy Fieri cross-contamination, thank you very much), you’d whip up a pretty decent version of Food Network’s Alton Brown. The oft bow-tied Food Network star is an eloquent proponent of the... Read more about this event >>

Sunday, October 26th at 8:30pm, the AT&T Performing Arts Center will screen the classic Stephen King thriller “The Shining”, starring Jack Nicholson, as part of their Sunset Screenings series. Admission to the screening is free but RSVPs are encouraged. There are 200 first come, first serve seats on the front of the lawn, as well as additional lawn seating. Event goers can bring...

There's nothing too scary at the annual Boo at the Zoo at the Forth Worth Zoo (1989 Colonial Pkwy. Fort Worth.There will be a live animal stage show at the Outdoor Learning Theater, a pumpkin patch, a Tot Spot, crafts and treat stations. Plus, there will be special programming at various animal exhibits throughout the zoo. Friday - Sunday this weekend only. Read more about this event >>

Some readers are gluttons for a good cry, which might be one of the reasons Jodi Picoult has earned such a large fan base. She's written 22 novels, including My Sister's Keeper, which is harder on your tear ducts than a freshly peeled onion. She'll be on the SMU campus in the student center to give a talk at 7 p.m. Monday.For more information and reservations, call 214-768-3225. Read more about this event >>

Drake is the best rap blogger in the world. The list of artists that he discovered while they were toiling around and killing it in the minors and the ones he recruited as diamonds in the rough is expansive. That list includes: Future, Migos, the Weeknd and most recently Makonnen, Young Thug and Dej Loaf. But, perhaps the biggest talent is PARTYNEXTDOOR. Two projects in and he's already...

While we're on the subject of the weather, which our weather gods tell us is changing from hot to slightly less hot, let's discuss one of the best places in Dallas to enjoy the great outdoors. It must be nice to be the Arboretum, which celebrates the four seasons like a holiday that never ends. Spring brings the serenity of pastel blooms, but Autumn at the Arboretum brings the fun of pumpkins... Read more about this event >>
-
The Dallas Holocaust Museum's newest exhibition features the political cartoons of Arthur Szyk, a Polish-Jewish refugee, who came to the US during WWII. His work, which depicted the dictators who tortured the world in the early 20th century, was harsh in its criticism of Hitler and Mussolini and strongly pro-democracy. Drawn to Action: The Life and Work of Arthur Szyk features a selection of... Read more about this event >>

Ann Hamilton's art is big. Internationally renowned for her large scale installations and objects that interact with space. Her work is often gestural and performative, and she's damn smart. Which is why Univeristy of North Texas and the Nasher Sculpture Center invited her to participate as part of their lecture series, which turns sweet 16 this season. Hamilton will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday... Read more about this event >>

Look, everyone will be watching it (this is Dallas, after all), so why not do it in style? The Granada Theater and Do214 host a Mavs season opener watch party. Doors open at 6 p.m. Plus you have a chance to win tickets to a Mavs game. RSVP on Do214.com. Read more about this event >>
-
Calling the Melvins a heavy metal band is a disservice to both the band and the genre. The colossal, droning, earsplitting sludge of doom produced by Buzz Osborne and crew is often referred to as heavy metal simply by default. The Melvins are also a lot weirder and quite a bit more intense than most metal bands. But it’s their goofiness that certainly sets the band a part from just... Read more about this event >>

Starting October 16th, Dallas Theater Center hosts Pulitzer-winning play, Driving Miss Daisy, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater. The play, made ever more famous by its subsequent film starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, follows the generational progression of the relationship between a well-to-do Southern woman and her chauffeur. At once a tale of our cultural past and of the... Read more about this event >>
