There’s pigs’ blood in the Trinity and we’ve most certainly paved over some very important burial sites here in Dallas, so it would make sense for the impending zombie uprising to take root in our alkaline soils. Whether or not the infection is spread by traditional biting or through bong…

Whether you’re sporting crimson and cream, burnt orange or just whatever you rolled out of bed in, there’s no shortage of parties in honor of the legendary Red River Shootout. Watch the game in neutral territory at the historic Granada Theater (3524 Greenville Ave.). Doors open at 1 p.m. and…

If you were looking for a reason to revive your crushes on TV gals of the past (Wednesday Addams or Joanie Cunningham, you decide), we’ve got something right up your alley. Presented by Iggy Rodriguez and Paging Bettie Productions, The Boobie Tube is a classic-TV themed burlesque and comedy show…

Dallas stylist Jillian Prado believes that style is attainable for every occasion and every individual. For the fourth year in a row, she’ll prove it at the Drastically Appropriate Fashion Show, where 50 impeccable looks will be strutted down the runway. There will be models — long, lean and perfectly…

The thing about TX/OU weekend is that you have to have a plan. If you don’t find someplace to hang your hat ahead of time, you’ll end up sitting in traffic, pleading with Siri to find you a bar with decent parking while fending off wayward Oklahoma drivers. Luckily, all…

This diverse show includes works by more than 20 local artists, including Kettle’s original co-founder, Frank Campagna. Those participating were…

Sex, racism, dirty politics, spousal abuse — Shakepeare’s The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice is so full of juicy double-dealing, behind-the-back gossiping and physical violence, it could get its own reality show. It’s one of the Bard’s best, with a beaut of a plot about a white lady,…

Romero and Russo changed the way we look at horror in their 1968 cult classic, Night Of The Living Dead. They also are responsible for that panicky feeling you get when you cannot immediately find your keys while walking to your car, and your irrational fear of tiny cottages. Sorry,…

It’s rare to read the words “The dinosaur trail is stroller friendly,” and yet you will find exactly that at Heard Museum’s exhibit of life-sized animatronic dinos. That’s right, Heard is going all Jurassic Park on you and those you love with a walkable, strollerable half-mile nature trail simply littered…

Not sure if you heard about this, but 100 years ago, there was this awesome ship that accidentally hit an iceberg. A bunch of really bad stuff happened to a lot of really good people, and history (and Hollywood) has told us all about some of the passengers: John Jacob…

The room containing Rothko’s Seagram collection is considered an immersion experience. Nine paintings line the walls of the secluded viewing area inside the Tate Modern, making up the first series where the artist’s goal was to surround and intimidate the viewer. Originally these paintings had been commissioned by the Four…

When Nicole Stewart sparked up Oral Fixation earlier this year, we became instantly addicted. Here’s how it works: Each month’s program is loosely based around a theme or concept, then local storytellers craft drag-you-in accounts of their real-life situations related to the topic. These tales are penned well in advance,…
