Howie Mandel McFarlin Auditiorium	Sun., November 23, 7:00pm	Park Cities	Comedy
Howie Mandel has had several careers in the entertainment biz. After a few years as a stand-up comic, he became world famous with his role as Dr. Fiscus on the groundbreaking, underrated medical drama, St. Elsewhere. It spawned the careers of a shitload of actors--Mark Harmon, Ed Begley Jr.,... More >>

Pinocchio Eisemann Center	Sun., November 23, 2:30pm	Richardson & Vicinity	Kids Theater
I was always told those little white bumps you get on your tongue that hurt really bad were from telling a lie. That thought used to scare the crap out of me, and even though now I know they are inflamed taste buds or something like that, I still don't tell people when I have one for fear they... More >>

The Church Lizard Lounge	Every week Thursday, Sunday	East Dallas & Lakewood
Today the Industrial community still gravitates towards Lizard Lounge, a building with a substantial, enduring legacy. The ChURcH has been home base for the latex-and-spikes set for over 15 years now. DJs like “Reverend” Karl Vought, Joe Virus, Lord Byron, Eric Beck, Angry John and... More >>

Synecdoche, New York The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth	Fri., November 21 more dates/times	Fort Worth	Film Art Museums
The word "genius" tends to be thrown around loosely these days, but Charlie Kaufman might actually warrant the label. Like a modern-day bard, the prolific screenwriter tells original, inventive stories that cause people to think and feel in delightfully different ways. He's paired his... More >>

SMU for the North Texas Food Bank Food Drive Open Location	Daily from Sat., November 15 until Mon., November 24	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Charity Events
Redistributionist-In-Chief-Elect Barack Obama will soon rescue us from the horrible poverty created by the evil Bush regime. But until January 20, 2009, we'll need charities like North Texas Food Bank. The Meadows School of the Arts, SMU-in-Legacy and Resounding Harmony choir will help restock... More >>

Make Space of Artists: Design-A-Studio Dallas Museum of Art	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., November 6 until Thu., February 12	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Museums
A long overdue trip to IKEA can act as a reminder that there's a designer in everyone--if they can make a 200-square-foot space livable, just imagine what you could do if you were given a shot. Now you get your chance to show your flair for interior design as the Dallas Museum of Art's new... More >>

Deck the Halls Old Red Museum	Daily from Sat., November 15 until Sun., January 11	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Seasonal Events Museums
Old Red's getting into the spirit of things, though they're doing it a little late by modern standards. After all, everybody else had their halls decked the day before Halloween. Better late than never as they always say--of course, we don't know who they are exactly, but we're told they are... More >>

Ricki Derek The Cavern	Sat., June 2, 6:00pm more dates/times	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
For the past decade, Derek has been Dallas' own Sinatra. With well-cut suits, slicked-back hair and sometimes a drink in hand, the MacArthur High School graduate cuts a striking nostalgic figure complete with a voice that could fit right in with Bobby Darin and Mel Tormé on any... More >>

Dinosaurs Alive! The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary	Daily from Fri., August 29 until Wed., December 31	Allen/McKinney	Nature Centers/Parks Kids Events
We don't really want to see a dinosaur eat a child. That would be wrong. Entertaining? Perhaps. Be that as it may, if the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary really wants to thrill its patrons with its Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit of life-size, animatronic dinosaurs and demonstrate...

Brian Gibb: All That Glitters Isn't Gold The Magnolia Theatre	Daily from Fri., October 17 until Wed., December 3	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
Brian Gibb is a dangerous man. He can make you want things. He can make you buy things. And he doesn't even have to be in the room. His eye for talent brings some seriously amazing shows to his gallery, The Public Trust. But more important, his own art is...well...addictive. I have a... More >>

Manwich Mighty Fine Arts	Every week Saturday, Sunday from Sat., November 22 until Sun., November 30, 12:00pm-5:00pm	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Art Galleries
Not since the days of the Equal Rights Amendment has there been so much to say about gender. The political bids by Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin brought to light a maelstrom of gender politics, made feminist blogs bookmark material and really brought forth a dialogue about how gender defines...

Nunsense Richardson Theatre Centre	Every week Sunday from Sun., November 23 until Sun., December 14, 3:00pm more dates/times	Richardson & Vicinity	Theater
Nuns are scary. They appear in movies, always looming over some child's desk, ruler in hand, ready and willing to wreak havoc right out of a Catholic school nightmare. Thus nuns tend to make more appearances as scary costumes on Halloween rather than at Christmas (well, OK, I guess there is... More >>
