Few works of musical artistry propel us to such heights of emotional enlightenment as Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. (Except maybe Mackelmore’s Thrift Shop. We love 99¢ bargains!) But back to Carmina Burana, the epic 1930s classical orchestration of a collection of poems and dramatic texts from the 11th to 13th centuries. There’s something about every [...]

A Saturday Night To Sing About
Rest easy, vegans. Turtle Ball is not the latest State Fair food. Rather, it’s one of the biggest and best celebrations in the gay community. This Saturday, join the Turtle Creek Chorale for their annual cocktail party fundraiser, which includes a spectacular silent and live auction. Up for grabs this year are a $1,000 shopping [...]
Homo Invasion
Wandering through strangers’ homes. Not sure why Julie Andrews didn’t sing about that as one of her favorite things because it’s definitely better than brown paper packages or some stupid itchy mittens. But that’s OK. We’re just happy to have an opportunity to experience one of our favorite things this weekend as we admire the [...]
Shiny Diskobolos
In another life, we were Greek sculpture models. It’s the only justification we can comprehend for our current physical incarnation’s flabby abs, lady boobs and chicken legs. But that’s ok. Starting this Sunday, we can hit the Dallas Museum of Art for The Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece: Masterworks from the British Museum. It’ll be [...]
Kiss Of The Turtle Men
Get ready for a musical ménage à trois. Or more like a ménage à 202, give or take. That’s because four times this week the Turtle Creek Chorale takes on classic Broadway hits of legendary, TONY Award-winning duo John Kander and Fred Ebb. It all takes place at the fab new City Performance Hall, which [...]
That Little Musical About Witches

The only catch is that you must show up two-and-a-half hours prior to the performance and put your name [...]
Hell’s Belles
Quick, find a friend with TV Guide Network, one of the few remaining places to catch reruns of Designing Women. Other than a dusty VHS collection in Paul J. Williams’ basement. It’ll all be worth the extra homework prior to catching the latest drag comedy from Uptown Players, Re-Designing Women. Once again, an all-male cast [...]
Art Gone Wild
After college, Spring Break for most of us is just another name for “Week We Have to Work While Others Have Fun.” But this year, we’re going to make some new Spring Break memories that have nothing to do with beer bongs, cheap Mexican motel rooms or bikini-clad women trying quite unsuccessfully to get into [...]
Totally Rad(wanski)
Culture alert! One of our favorite artists has a new show launching tomorrow at ilume Gallerie and it’s going to be spectacular. And not just because of the free cocktails. From tomorrow through April 6, discover the “Prism Collection” from Ronald Radwanski, Gallery Director and artist in residence. This new series of acrylic and mother [...]
Word To Your Mother
Telling someone how you feel about them can be difficult. Even those of us who make a living with words often clam up when it comes time to expressing emotions verbally. (We prefer, instead, to bang our head with our fists and scream toward the sky. Kind of achieves the same goal as an [...]
