Art&Seek on Think TV: The New Fort Worth Museum of Science & History

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.

Review: The Undermain's Port Twilight, or The History of Science

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.

Review: Kitchen Dog's Slasher Doesn't Cut It

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?

Review: Charles Dutton's One-Man Show

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.

Think TV: A Photographer's History of Black Fort Worth

When Calvin Littlejohn came to Fort Worth in 1934, white newspapers wouldn't run photos of African-Americans. Ironically, segregation gave Littlejohn his life's work: chronicling Fort Worth's middle-class black community. Bob Ray Sanders, author of a new book on Littlejohn, talks to Krys Boyd about growing up in Jim Crow North Texas.

Review: Dallas Theater Center Debuts at the Wyly

Big noisy fun but that's all: DTC artistic director Kevin Moriarty opens the company's new home with A Midsummer Night's Dream that pumps up the volume and the dancefloor energy. It's got balloons, graffiti art and squirt guns. Forget about anything heartfelt, though.
