This beautiful little Art Deco Theatre is comfortably small and intimate. Hubby & I attended the critically acclaimed production of, "Hedwig and The Angry Inch" Friday night, 03/07/15, to see my daughters boyfriend, who is playing in "The Angry Inch" Rock Band. WOW......the band / music is amazing! Robert Rain, as Hedwig, and Jenine Galante, as Yitzhak, both give captivating performances! The story is sad, yet some parts are unexpectedly funny, as told by Hedwig Schmidt. The theatre was Rockin', the audience was singing and really involved in this play. Again, I really like this venue and hope to see more plays / productions here! The Margo Jones / Magnolia Lounge is truly a Dallas Icon, as was Margo Jones, herself! Per Wikipedia: ***Margo Jones (December 12, 1911 - July 24, 1955) , was an influential American stage director and producer best known for launching the American regional theater movement and for introducing the theater-in-the-round concept in Dallas, Texas. In 1947, she established the first regional professional company when she opened Theatre '47 in Dallas. Of the 85 plays Jones staged during her Dallas career, 57 were new, and one-third of those new plays had a continued life on stage, television and radio. Her theater-in-the-round concept requires no stage curtain, little scenery and allows the audience to sit on three sides of the stage. That concept was used by directors in later years for such well-known shows as the original stage production of Man of La Mancha, and all plays staged at the ANTA Washington Square Theatre (demolished in the late 1960s), including Arthur Miller's autobiographical play After the Fall (1964). ~Information provided by: Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margo_Jones *** Death of Margo Jones: On July 17th 1955, Jones invited friends over to a party. However, during the party an artist spilled red paint on the carpet, so she later brought professional cleaners to deal with it. They used carbon tetrachloride, a strong solvent commonly used in dry-cleaning processes at the time. Jones, satisfied with the cleaning, fell asleep into the night. Unfortunately, some carbon tetrachloride had been absorbed into the carpet and later evaporated, filling her home with toxic fumes. So she woke up dizzy; it was later discovered the gas had caused kidney failure. She was then found unconscious on the couch resting and she was rushed to hospital, but died 9 days later. According to her friends, she briefly regained consciousness and found out she was going to die, and made elaborate preparations for her burial, including asking her friends to dress her properly and grooming her for her funeral. She died July 26, 1955 at the age of 43, never realizing what killed her. In 1959, her theater was closed. **Information provided by : Wikipedia.org. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margo_Jones

The absolute WORST salon ever. Save your hair and skin...and go anywhere else!…read more My teenage daughter went in to have her hair highlighted and her roots darkened. We were told it would take about an hour. It took SIX and half hours, which is the most absurd amount of time I have ever experienced. She kept telling us one more hour, meanwhile my daughter wasn't able to eat, drink or use the bathroom all day because the pitiful hair dresser was working so incredibly slowly! When she darkened her roots, she literally threw the hair color all over my daughter's arms, neck and face, which have left stained marks we are not able to remove. While she was doing the toner on the blonde highlights, she left the hair color blobs sitting on my daughter's skin which left slight burn marks on her face. There is no excuse for this salon and the horribly sloppy work they perform. Stay away! You're better off any where else!

The eclectic ambiance serves as an inviting backdrop to the diverse audience they truly deserve and strive for. From craft cocktails to domestic brews, all are served with a smile, with 95 year old Mr. Dunston himself making the rounds. The space although intimate, accommodates groups of all sizes, from sports fans enjoying a game, friends celebrating special occasions, to couples enjoying date night; the allure of TBD lounge offers all a great time. The hours vary throughout the week, starting with Happy Hour and running until midnight weekends, a little earlier other nights. Plan ahead if you're hungry because the kitchen closes at 9pm during the week and 10pm weekends, and you certainly wouldn't want to miss out on Dunston's Steakhouse's amazing food. I look forward to sharing a cocktail next to you! Xoxo Lorenzo!

Locals peddling thier products they have spent hours crafting with love to others in the community. And the city was so supportive of the vendors- the city employees working the event were constantly making rounds insuring everything was going well and the visitors were having a good time. The Mayor even came around and was shaking everyone's hand and taking selfies with the booth vendors. I see you, Mr. Mayor Jim. They had a ton of food and local bands/ performers as well. My favorite was Poly Hwy- go check them out on FB. They were Polynesian and had a very island-y vibe. It was the perfect chill music to have playing while you stroll around. John Tipton was second- dude if you are reading this- that was the best cover of Bad Leroy Brown ever! And all of this was FREE! Silver Dollar Winery was serving up vino- although I wish they would have had the frozen peachy wine slushie- hint hint for next year guys ;). Crazy Cowboy was smoking up a storm and slinging brisket sandwiches and Rahr beer. La Rosita truck was also there in case you had a hankering for a taco. Bedford is a hidden gem guys, real talk.

The house acoustics are wonderful and the seats were comfortable enough to endure an almost three hour show! Honestly, the bathroom situation could be improved, because the lines were so long (even for the men's) that I really had just enough time at intermission to go there and back. It's a first world music venue with second world bathrooms. Also, I am not a tall guy, but airplanes have more legroom than the Morton Meyerson. I will give them an A+ on programming though, great show, especially to bridge a cross-generational audience! OK, I know Danny is 74 years old, but the bulk of his fans are much younger!
