Ever since archaeologists found the remains of the Rose Theater in 1989 — where Christopher Marlowe's dramas were once enacted — there's been an explosion of research into the Elizabethan playhouses. Scholars still haven't answered many puzzles — they're not even certain how many sides the Globe had. But they've found some of the first concrete clues to what the theaters were like, what stage life was like. London archaeologist Julian Bowsher gave a lecture Thursday at the Dallas Museum of Art — and spoke to Think.
We have seen the future and it looks like DEVO: The Undermain Theater opens its new season next week with Len Jenkin's surreal, sci-fi noir, Port Twilight. So we spoke to artistic director Katherine Owens about the future in Port Twilight and the Undermain's own Campaign for the Future.
This Week in Texas Music History, we’ll celebrate a woman who wrote the state’s first known English-language song.
Last in our series of one-on-one interviews with the architects behind the AT&T PAC. After their press conference, Norman Foster and Spencer de Grey talked with us about loving opera, traditions vs. popularity and the AT&T logo on the Winspear's roof.
Nick Prueher talks to Krys Boyd about the truly funny-awful tapes of the Found Footage Festival: training films, dating videos and, of course, the guy-dropping-his-pants furniture ad. Through such tapes, you, too, can learn to defend yourself against some really vicious short ribs.
In Cormac McCarthy's novels, the Texas-Mexico border is a major, dramatic life-changing event for young Anglos headed south. In Oscar Casares' writing, the border is a fact of life — to be negotiated, ignored, overcome. The Brownsville native talks to us about family legends, the border and his new novel, Amigoland.
It's a twofer. The Winspear had back-to-back openings this weekend — did you hear? — with the Dallas Opera and TITAS. Bill Zeeble reports on the response to Otello and Jerome Weeks reviews Philip Glass' Dracula.
This Week in Texas Music History, we’ll look at an accomplished songwriter who is probably best remembered for his more humorous compositions.
This week, Texas music scholar Gary Hartman looks at the life of Little Joe Hernández, the son of a sharecropper who began playing professionally at 16.
