    Weekend Event Planner

    Dual Dallas Theater Center productions top best weekend events

    Feb 19, 2015 | 12:00 am

    It's an arts-heavy weekend around Dallas-Fort Worth, as most of the big events revolve around culture. You can choose between multiple theater productions, popular classical music, a big fashion event, tap dancing and more.

    Below are the best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, February 19

    Once the Musical
    It's been a couple of months since the national tour of Once the Musical was in Dallas, but the anticipation of its arrival in Fort Worth makes seeing it that much sweeter for musical fans in the Panther City. The simply enchanting love story has a short stay at Bass Performance Hall, running through Sunday.

    Dallas Theater Center presents Medea
    The first of two new Dallas Theater Center productions this weekend is the classic — as in ancient — Greek tragedy Medea​. It's an intimate affair for the cast and the audience, as all performances take place in the basement of Kalita Humphreys Theater. The play alternates with the other new DTC production (see below) through March 29.

    Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts presents The Last Two People on Earth
    Two theater legends, Mandy Patinkin and Taylor Mac, have teamed up for The Last Two People on Earth, an "apocalyptic Vaudeville." After a flood of Biblical proportions leaves Patinkin and Mac as the last two people on Earth, the only thing they can do is sing and dance and hope the world comes back again. The cabaret plays at Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts through Sunday.

    Friday, February 20

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents Disney in Concert
    Songs from Disney films are some of the most iconic in movie history, so they're a natural to be performed by symphony orchestras. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra tackles selections from Frozen, Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and many more in three concerts through Sunday at Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Dallas Theater Center presents The School for Wives
    As an antidote to the tragic Medea, DTC presents the comedy The School for Wives by Moliére. The French farce, playing through March 29 in the main space of Kalita Humphreys Center, contains razor-sharp observations about love, marriage and desire. And to make it even better, it features almost the exact same cast as Medea, letting them really show off their acting range.

    Saturday, February 21

    Crow Collection of Asian Art presents Chinese New Year Festival
    Horse lovers, your year is over as the Chinese calendar flips from the Year of the Horse to the Year of the Ram. The Crow Collection of Asian Art celebrates with an all-day festival featuring an array of specialty booths, wellness activities, entertainment, cultural performances and food trucks along Flora and Harwood streets.

    The Pin Show presents Scene: A Fashion Concert
    You can tide yourself over for the actual Pin Show in April, which will take place at the newly revived Bomb Factory, with this event taking place at Trees in Deep Ellum. Take in performances by French 75 and Diamond Age while witnessing a behind-the-scenes photo shoot of the designs of Nha Khanh, Lucy Dang, Nine Muses and Emmanuel Tobias.

    Sunday, February 22

    Arts & Letters Live: Jacqueline Woodson — Dreams Come True
    The Arts & Letters Live series at Dallas Museum of Art always brings in a great variety of authors — some celebrities and some not. Jacqueline Woodson falls on the "not yet" side, but that doesn't mean she won't be interesting, as she talks about her collection of poems Brown Girl Dreaming, which won the 2014 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.

    Pocket Sandwich Theatre presents Rhythmic Souls
    The tap dance troupe Rhythmic Souls has been making a name for themselves all over Dallas with their energetic routines that utilize different genres of music, like jazz, classical, blues, hip-hop and rock. This performance at Pocket Sandwich Theatre is the start of a new series for the troupe, titled Play It By Ear — Volume 1: Experiments in Rhythm.

    Rhythmic Souls performs at Pocket Sandwich Theatre on February 22.

    Tom Cruise to make Dallas BBQ stop while on Mission Impossible tour

    Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning

    How's this for a mission impossible? Hollywood legend Tom Cruise is coming to Dallas to eat barbecue, while on a quick Texas tour to promote the latest chapter of his smash film franchise Mission Impossible.

    The Top Gun star revealed on Instagram that, as part of a trip to promote Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, he'd be visiting two Texas cities: San Antonio and Dallas.

    "On May 22, I'm coming to the great state of Texas," Cruise said in the Instagram video. "I'll be visiting Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio before stopping by some theaters to see you at some of the first screenings of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning."

    After the whirlwind tour through Alamo City, he'll hop on a plane to Dallas.

    "We're going to fly to Dallas, where I'm going to get some delicious barbecue before going to more theaters to say hello. And I can't wait," he said.

    Unfortunately, for now, he's not saying exactly where.

    Which BBQ?
    If it's a barbecue joint with buzz he's seeking, that would call for a trip to Fort Worth, whose BBQ scene is currently among the buzziest in Texas — so buzzy, it earned a special category in CultureMap's 2025 Tastemaker Awards, with 12 nominees for Best Barbecue of the year. (It's also what chef Tim Love suggests.)

    If he's sticking to Dallas proper and looking for a celebrity-endorsed place, his pick would have to be Slow Bone, the BBQ restaurant recently featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. (Slow Bone is all over it with an offer of a Texas nail, their brisket sandwich; Hurtado chimes in and so does Ten 50 BBQ.)

    Otherwise, there are older favorites like Pecan Lodge and Lockhart Smokehouse; or two places with Austin roots: Loro and Terry Black's. If he's using CultureMap Dallas' Best Restaurants of 2025 as inspiration, he'll spy Zavala's Barbecue, the family-owned barbecue spot in Grand Prairie, which made the list.

    Which movie theater?
    Despite its name, The Final Reckoning is not the concluding chapter of the long-running series. In June 2023, Director Christopher McQuarrie told Fandango that the writing team already has ideas for future installments of Ethan Hunt's saga.

    Although Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5 and will screen at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, its official theatrical release is May 23. Sharp-eyed fans might notice several local theaters have matinee showtimes on May 22.

    As for which Dallas movie theater he'll visit, if he's going for the best viewing experience, the IMAX at AMC NorthPark or Cinemark Dallas seem like two good bets.
