In March 2020, we moved to Fort Worth TX to retire near our son, as COVID just hit. Like everyone, we were in lockdown for almost 2 yrs. When things lifted, we masked up & starting exploring this HUGE state. The live arts are far and few between compared to NYC & PHIL. However, I made my way to find some pretty great theater in DFW. While I miss the NE and my Broadway friends, we are making the best of the Lone Star State.
