The nonprofit AT&T Performing Arts Center announced today that single tickets for Stories from Lake Wobegon featuring Garrison Keillor will go on sale Friday, February 10 at 10 a.m. One of the most prolific American storytellers of all time, Garrison Keillor, will perform for one night only on Tuesday, May 9 at 8 p.m. at the Winspear Opera House in the downtown Dallas Arts District.

Leo Bill's work includes Laura Wade's Posh, Light Shining in Buckinghamshire at the National, the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring Hamlet at the Barbican, and, on screen, Mike Leigh's Vera Drake and TV series Taboo. He's currently playing Bottom in Joe Hill-Gibbins's dark production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which begins previews at the Young Vic on 11 February.

Actor, musician, activist, and humanitarian Harry Belafonte will turn 90-years-old on March 1, 2017.

The Harry Belafonte Pre-Birthday Celebration will feature screenings of The Strolling '20s, a television special produced by and starring Belafonte and featuring Sidney Poitier, Diahann Carroll, Sammy Davis, Jr. and more, that has hardly been seen in 50 years; Robert Altman's Kansas City, which features Belafonte's favorite of his own performances; and Otto Preminger's classic Carmen Jones, in which he stars opposite Dorothy Dandridge.
