    Independent creatives find a happy home at Weld in Dallas Design District

    Finding like-minded creatives in a sprawling city isn’t as easy as it looks. Discovering affordable studio space in which to create is no picnic either.

    Photographer and filmmaker Austin Mann spent years traveling the globe working with charitable organizations, yet he longed to make a difference a little closer to home. The result is Weld, the “carefully curated community” he founded in June 2012.

    “I was working a lot as a photographer and spending lots of time traveling. At the end of 2011, while planning the next year, I realized I traveled over 140 times in the past year to a different location,” he says.

    The Weld concept has been successful enough that founder Austin Mann is looking for a second location in Nashville.

    “I was reflecting on how I can make a bigger impact, and I dreamed of ways I could do more to enable those around me to achieve their visions and their dreams. A great space could solve a lot of problems for independent creatives.”

    Called Weld because “it’s the idea of bringing two separate pieces together and making a strong bond,” the 10,000-square-foot building on Farrington Street offers studio space, instructive labs, and the possibility of a supportive community of colleagues. Now 75 strong, the concept has been successful enough that Mann is looking for a second location in Nashville.

    To celebrate its anniversary, Weld is holding a year-end retrospective event on December 18 at 7 pm, showcasing 80 photographs from 20 artists curated by Mann’s colleague, former National Geographic director of photography Sabine Meyer, along with video and motion content from other Weld members.

    With themes that include travel/landscape, illustration and portraiture, each 12-by-18-inch image is shockingly affordable — just $60 each — making it the perfect gift for the photography fan on your list.

    “The reason we did that and the purpose of the show is massive exposure,” Mann says. “We’d like to see these works out and about, and we want people to enjoy them and have the chance to take them home.”

    Supported by a growing list of benefactors, including local Dallas startups and Weld residents ZenCash and Need, Weld’s third year promises more innovation and impact inside the Dallas arts community.

    As Mann solidifies his company’s presence in Tennessee, he looks forward to the day that Weld outposts will be scattered across the United States. “I don’t think it’ll be in every urban center, but I’d love to see Weld in eight to 10 communities across America. That’s the long-term vision, and hopefully that will come to pass.”

    The Broadway cast of Spamalot.

    It's all about the numbers for the AT&T Performing Arts Center's 2025-26 Broadway season. The lineup boasts 20 Tony Awards, 12 Drama Desk Awards, seven Outer Critics Circle Awards, and two Dallas premieres, all performing at the Winspear Opera House.

    It also includes a handful of add-ons in partnership with the Center’s resident company, Dallas Theater Center, and the Center’s programming partners TITAS/Dance Unbound and Broadway Dallas (2025 marks the seventh year collaborating with the latter).

    “We’re really thrilled to present this stellar season featuring a good mix of family favorites, Broadway classics, and contemporary productions,” says Warren Tranquada, AT&T Performing Arts Center president and CEO. “Coming to see a musical production at the Winspear Opera House is a real treat, and we’re proud to provide more flexibility than ever to help patrons make the most of their experience."

    A Christmas Story, The Musical tourChristopher Swan as The Old Man and the cast of A Christmas Story, The Musical.Photo by Gary Emord Netzley

    First up is A Christmas Story, The Musical, from the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the Academy Award-winning film La La Land.

    The classic 1983 movie comes to life onstage, focusing on 1940s Indiana, where a young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

    An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. It runs November 21-23, 2025.

    The suspiciously perfect Scottish nanny Mrs. Doubtfire makes her Dallas premiere with the musical based on the hit film.

    Out-of-work actor Daniel Hillard will do anything for his kids. After losing custody in a messy divorce, he creates the kindly alter ego of Scottish nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire in a desperate attempt to stay in their lives. As his new character takes on a life of its own, Mrs. Doubtfire teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father. It runs December 26-28, 2025.

    Next, everybody say "Yeah!" and let the Tony-winning hit Kinky Boots lift your spirits to high-heeled heights.

    The musical, based on the 2005 film, features a joyous, Tony-winning score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper; a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein; and original direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell.

    Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair find that they have more in common than they realized ... and discover that when you change your mind, you can change your whole world. It runs April 23-25, 2026.

    There's trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian in Meredith Willson's The Music Man.

    The most Tony Award-winning show of the year. The most Tony Award-nominated play of all time. A Dallas premiere. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough.

    Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up. It runs May 8-10, 2026.

    Harold Hill cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall. It runs May 1-4, 2026.

    The show that set Broadway back 1,000 years returns: Monty Python’s Spamalot, which first galloped onto Broadway in 2005, is a musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by Idle and John Du Prez. It runs July 9-12, 2026.

    That's it for the regular subscriber season, but there are also four add-on shows:

    The 2023 Tony-winner for Best Musical Kimberly Akimbo, based on David Lindsay-Abaire's play of the same title, revolves around a teenage girl named Kimberly Levaco, who suffers from a condition that rapidly accelerates the aging process.

    Before she has had a chance to venture forth into the world as an adult, she finds herself turning into an old woman. Her story, unfolding like a dark fairy tale, is as whimsical as it is piercing. Yet the effect is powerfully life-affirming in the way it reminds audiences of the preciousness of the time we have at hand. It runs January 6-18, 2026, in partnership with Broadway Dallas.

    In 1902 New York, anything is possible. Ragtimebursts to life with a soaring, Tony Award-winning score that tells the intertwined stories of three families from different walks of life, all chasing the American Dream.

    Based on E.L. Doctrow’s acclaimed novel, Ragtime is a thrilling, powerful portrait of hope and perseverance in a time of tumultuous change. This beloved, epic musical theater classic creates a powerful portrait of America’s past — and a stirring reminder of its future. It runs March 27-April 19, 2026, in partnership with Dallas Theater Center.

    MOMIX is always a wild ride: trippy, magical, and downright unforgettable. No wonder they’re a TITAS favorite! Botanica is a feast for the eyes and the perfect show for the whole family.

    With jaw-dropping costumes, breathtaking projections, and larger-than-life puppets designed by the legendary Michael Curry (yep, the genius behind Cirque du Soleil, Disney, and the Metropolitan Opera), this show is pure magic. It's one-night-only on June 6, 2026, in partnership with TITAS/Dance Unbound.

    Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget. Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench

    Based on the fan-favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clueis the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist. It runs June 16-28, 2026, in partnership with Broadway Dallas.

    Subscription package sales begin March 31 and may be purchased by phone at 214-880-0202 or online at www.attpac.org/broadway. Single tickets for each show will go on sale at later dates.
