Coming Up
Today @ Winston's Supperclub
I’m Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret… It’s off to local hot spot Winston’s Supper Club for the debut of “God Save the Queen” – a monthly dinner and cabaret show billed as one-of-a-kind dining experience. An impressive cast of popular drag performers as well as “The Winston’s Girls” will offer a mix of live singing, lip sync and dancing. This is truly unique edition to Dallas nightlife and worth checking out. Dinner starts at 7pm followed by the show at 8:30pm. And make sure to stick around for the after party dubbed ‘Honey.’...
Today @ Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
Glenn Ligon is a puncher. Not because he's occasionally treated punching bags like canvasses, but because he relentlessly puts out work that slaps you upside the head, or simply leaves you dazed and impacted. The artist is probably best known for stenciled, text-heavy work that references everything from slave narratives to Richard Pryor jokes, but in his "mid-career" retrospective, we see a full range of ambitious works. There are painted doors; huge neon works like "Negro Sunshine;" sculptural packing-crate pieces like "Henry Box Brown;" coal-dust drawings; and more recent works from the Colorings series. Then there are those punching bags that are metaphors for American society and black men. It lands like boom.
Today @ Music Hall at Fair Park
After winning four Tony Awards (including Best Musical), Memphis has hit the road. With original music written by Bon Jovi's keyboardist, David Bryan, the play follows a young white DJ who falls for a black singer in the segregated town in the '50s. The successful Broadway show provides fabulous dancing, plenty of laughs and rock n' roll - a perfect combination by almost any standards.
Today @ Fair Park
There's nothing not to love about a free festival that has art and art classes, food and liquor tastings, live entertainment and movies under the stars. This is CityArts, the Fair Park-based festival is now in its eighth year and it continues to raise money for art programs and preserve the beloved site. This year, American Graffiti and Grease are preceded by '60s-themed dance parties and Septien showcase artists will play throughout the day on Saturday. Also, don't miss the always-popular art car showcase.
