In the Saturday spotlight, we’re getting to know some local artists.

Two area museums celebrated important milestones this week. The Museum of Nature & Science on Wednesday broke ground on a new building at Victory Park. And the new $80 million Fort Worth Museum of Science and History opens today. KERA’s Stephen Becker toured the new space:

The new Legorreta + Legorreta-designed Fort Museum of Science and History is open — a major upgrade in the Cultural District. It features a new planetarium, dinsoaur exhibitions and mini-museums devoted to cattle, Fort Worth history, energy (basically, the oil and gas industry) and even the science of CSI. We talk with vice president of development Carl Hamm about balancing education with entertainment.

Weird science, that is. In Port Twilight, playwright Len Jenkin creates a surreal city in which different visions of the future are being sought out and decoded: genetic, messianic and cinematic. The Undermain Theater's splendid world premiere is a dark, comic carnival where scientists dance, an alien speaks, a rabbi despairs and a shlocky filmmaker worries about getting the future right. Jerome Weeks reviews.

Stephanie "Tefi" Hindall is a Dallas-based jewelry designer who runs her own design studio, Tefi Designs. Not only does Stephanie create some really unusual and creative jewelry and accessories, she is also the founder of EtsyDallas.com, a cooperative craft collective of artists and designers living and working in Dallas. We took a peek inside Stephanie's creative and inventive mind as a part of this week's Art&Seek Q&A:

It slices, it dices, it wants to have its splatter-film fun and mock it at the same time. But Slasher — written by former Dallasite Allison Moore and produced this year at the Humana Festival — ultimately muddles things. Given a full-scale, full-speed-ahead area premiere by Kitchen Dog Theater, Slasher never cuts to the heart: the horror film — thrill-ride psychodrama or sexist ragefest?

Alec Jhangiani has one of the more enviable jobs in the North Texas arts scene. As Artistic Director of the Lone Star Film Festival – which runs through Sunday – he’s charged with watching the films that get submitted and picking the best ones to show. He discusses the process of programming the festival and its role in promoting film culture in his home town as part of this week’s Art&Seek Q&A:

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History opens Nov. 20, and they're still getting the new Legorreta+Legorreta-designed building ready. But an early peek at the Noble Planetarium finds the first ZKP-4 in the Southwest fully functioning and traveling to galaxies far, far way. Forget your old grade-school visit to a planetarium to see some constellations. This baby is cosmic.

Emmy Award-winning actor-director Charles Dutton has led a remarkable life. He's a twice-convicted felon who still managed to graduate from the Yale School of Drama. But on Saturday in Fort Worth, when he presented his one-man autobiographical show, From Jail to Yale – Serving Time on Stage, it wasn't his life story that was spellbinding. Jerome Weeks reviews.

In the Art&Seek Saturday Spotlight, we’re skating for a cause.
