    Arts & Letters Live Returns

    Candice Bergen and Dennis Lehane headline 2015 Arts & Letters Live season

    The Dallas Museum of Art consistently draws in big names for its Arts & Letters Live series, and the slate for 2015 will be no different, as it features a variety of big-name writers, some of whom are known more for their non-writing careers.

    The season, running January through June, will include 29 distinct dates, starting on Monday, January 12, with one of two Texas Bound events, which feature actors doing dramatic readings of others' work.

    Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond), Glenn Morshower (24, Dallas), Dallas Theater Center's Chamblee Ferguson, Lydia Mackay and Sally Nystuen Vahle will read stories by Dallas authors David Haynes, Clay Reynolds, Betty Wiesepape, and Kevin Sutton and Bret Anthony Johnston.

    Other highlights of the season include the following:

    • New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast talking about her memoir, Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?
    • Ina Garten, aka the Barefoot Contessa, sharing tips, stories and recipes
    • Actors James Naughton, Mary Kay Place and Jane Kaczmarek reading stories by Louise Erdrich, Maile Meloy and Kurt Vonnegut
    • Dennis Lehane talking about his new crime book, World Gone By
    • Poet Billy Collins and singer/songwriter Aimee Mann teaming up to talk about their art and creative process
    • Candice Bergen revealing more of herself with her new memoir, A Fine Romance

    Most events will take place in the Horchow Auditorium at the DMA, but other venues will include Winspear Opera House, McFarlin Memorial Auditorium on the SMU campus and First Presbyterian Church in downtown Dallas.

    Tickets for all dates are now on sale through the DMA site and usually range from $15 to $35, although those labeled as Fresh Ink events are free, and other special events run higher.

    Actress Candice Bergen will appear at First Presbyterian Church on April 15 to talk about her new memoir, A Fine Romance.

    Uptown Players Dallas reveals glitter-drenched new season for 2025-26

    A New York production of "Urinetown: The Musical" was produced in early 2025.

    The newly-released 2025-26 season of Uptown Players Dallas comes with a knowing wink behind the titles, with a goal to provide comfort, commentary, and chuckles.

    It's the 24th season for the company, one of the leading regional theaters in the DFW area, with a blend of satire, spectacle, and heartfelt storytelling in five bold productions celebrating queer joy and resilience.

    Highlights include a holiday misadventure, fairy tale revue, the political satire Urinetown, and Paula Vogel’s Mother Play. The season runs December 2025 to August 2026 at Dallas venues.

    It begins with festive flair during the holidays, as Carol Ann Knipple — first seen in 2021's When Pigs Fly — returns forStar of Wonder: A Carol Ann Christmas.

    Micah Green stars in this world premiere, with book and original lyrics by Mark Waldrop and additional material by B. J. Cleveland. After her beloved Melody Barn theater in Minnesota burns to the ground, Carol Ann refuses to give up her dream and relocates her Christmas spectacular to a Dallas stage she doesn’t fully understand. What follows is a merry misadventure of casting chaos, theatrical surprises, and side-splitting parodies, all led by Carol Ann’s blissfully misguided vision and unstoppable spirit. It runs December 5-14, 2025, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.

    Pure Glitter, a dazzling new comedy by Chicken & Biscuits playwright Douglas Lyons, is a love letter to the shimmering chaos of chosen family and queer friendship.

    The story unfolds during a surprise 10th anniversary bash thrown by Stan for his husband Tony. But when a handful of uninvited guests arrive, the night explodes into a whirlwind of secrets, sass, and unexpected truths. This Texas premiere runs March 20-29, 2026, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.

    The beloved fundraiser Broadway Our Way returns with a mischievously magical new theme: Fractured Fairy Tales.

    Written and directed by B.J. Cleveland, this all-new musical revue turns “happily ever after” on its rhinestone-covered head, blending Broadway’s biggest hits with a wild world of rogue royals, sassy witches, enchanted misfits, and storybook rebels. Whether you're team villain, fairy godmother, or a prince who prefers heels, this sparkling spectacle promises a magical night of laughter and inclusive storytelling. It runs April 30-May 3, 2026, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.

    In a city where private restrooms are banned and a corporation controls the most basic human need, a rebellious uprising takes shape in Urinetown: The Musical.

    This fiercely funny, Tony Award-winning satire skewers capitalism, bureaucracy, and environmental collapse, with music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis. A timely production by Uptown Players will turn a sharp eye on justice, activism, and the enduring power of community to challenge the status quo. For marginalized communities, the musical’s central fight — for dignity, voice, and bodily autonomy — feels deeply personal. It runs July 10-19, 2026, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.

    Closing out the season is Paula Vogel's Mother Play, which ran on Broadway just last year with Jessica Lange, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and Jim Parsons.

    This raw and resonant semi-autobiographical work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright spans from 1962 to the present, following Phyllis, a fiercely independent single mother, and her two children as they navigate evictions, emotional upheavals, and the fragile balance between love and self-preservation. It runs August 21-20, 2026, at Theatre Three.

    Season tickets are on sale now, with discounts on both premium and regular seating. Season tickets can be purchased online at www.uptownplayers.org or by phone at 214-219-2718. Single tickets will go on sale September 2, 2025.
