Casa Mañana Theatre continues their 2015-2016 Season with Fiddler on the Roof September 26-October 4.

Famous con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. managed to pass himself off as a pilot, an ER doctor and a lawyer between the ages of 15-21 before finally getting caught. Although he never tried his hand as an actor, Frank Jr.'s biography, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, created dramatic opportunities for two other young stars, first on-screen with Leonardo DiCaprio, and later on Broadway with Aaron Tveit. Although the Broadway producers failed to find the financial (and critical) success that Abagnale and the film producers celebrated (closing after only 6 months), the musical launched a non-union production, which toured the US for another 7 months before rights were released to regional theatres. Now, marking its local debut, Uptown Players' new production is here - and it definitely makes the most of the musical's victories to create a fantastic opportunity for another star in our midst.

Uptown Players continues its 2015 season with the 2011 Tony nominated musical Catch Me If You Can. Based on the hit film and the incredible true story that inspired it, (Book by Terrence McNally and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman), Catch Me If You Can, is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater from tonight, July 24 to August 9, 2015.

OurVoices OurStories has riveting monologues, tantalizing dance, and inspiring, foot-stomping music that celebrates wounded souls allowing their voices to be heard as they re-make their stories.

The lively Dallas/Fort Worth theatre scene thrives due to the many local artists working for little more than applause. While not every production can be a home run, it's always nice to see a company attempt to create something new and unique. With MAN OF LA MANCHA at Artes de la Rosa, kudos are due for their experimental, daring approach to this oft-performed piece.

Artes de la Rosa announces that Martin Antonio Guerra, will take on the dual role of Miguel Cervantes and Don Quixote in Artes de la Rosa's Man of La Mancha which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with this production.
