Actor Spotlight

This Dallas actress has succumbed to baby fever both on and offstage

Matthew Lopez's comedy The Legend of Georgia McBride may focus mainly on two men in heels — one a talented drag queen, the other a down-on-his-luck Elvis impersonator who's possibly found a new calling — but the lone woman in the cast has her own costume challenges.

Dallas actress Sky Williams plays the pregnant wife of Casey (Kyle Igneczi), and before she straps on that pregnancy belt for December 1's opening night (the show runs through December 17 at the Kalita Humphreys Theater), she took the time to fill out our survey of serious, fun, and sometimes ridiculous questions.

First stage show you ever saw: 42nd Street

Moment you decided to pursue a career in theater: It’s actually a pretty long story, so let’s just say God works in mysterious ways. :)

Most challenging role you’ve played: Adult (still haven’t mastered it).

Special skills: I am pretty amazing with babies. I will legit go out of my way to meet/hold/temporarily babysit a baby at any function. Also, my homemade queso is on point.

Something you’re REALLY bad at: Sports ... all of them.

Current pop culture obsession: I love a good gif.

Most challenging part about your current project: Pregnancy belly puts pressure on my bladder and I have to pee every 20 minutes.

Most embarrassing onstage mishap: I full-out, no-marking, zoned out during a performance for my drama class in high school, and forgot to say a line that was supposed to catalyze the resolutive action for the play. It was silent for about 15 seconds before I realized it was my turn to talk, but it was too late, someone just said the last two lines of the play, then we all bowed. The cast had a pizza party without me.

Favorite thing about Dallas-Forth Worth: There are so many places to eat. Like SO many.

Most memorable theater moment: When I first really started getting into musical theater in high school, I didn’t think my parents would really support me. On the opening night of my first show, Beauty and the Beast, my mom not only showed up, but she brought me flowers and said she was proud of me. That made me feel pretty dang sparkly.

Netflix House will debut in Dallas with murals from acclaimed artist

A long-awaited immersive venue is opening in Dallas, and it will debut with local art on its walls: Netflix House, a year-round exhibit revolving around Netflix shows and movies, will open at Galleria Dallas on December 11, with two murals from award-winning Dallas multi-medium artist Jeremy Biggers.

Netflix House is an immersive dive complete with merchandise store, film house, arcade, and restaurant-bar. When it opens, Dallas will be the second location in the U.S., following Philadelphia, where it debuted in November 2025, also with murals from a local artist.

A graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Biggers is a renowned artist whose murals can be found spashed on walls across Dallas. Many, such as the Selena portrait on the wall outside Top Ten Records at 306 S. Bishop Ave., have become local landmarks.

He's a logical choice, having worked with a number of corporations including Nike, Adidas, the Dallas Mavericks, and IBM, for whom he created the "THINK" mural in their Dallas corporate office. His works have also been exhibited nationally, including a 2024 solo exhibition "be safe out there bro" at Band of Vices, a gallery in Los Angeles.

"Being chosen to be the artist to paint this mural, it would have been a disservice to myself, as well as the art scene in the city, not to try to infuse myself into it," he says.

Biggers did two murals featuring his interpretation of Netflix figures including the Squid Game Young-hee doll, characters from KPop Demon Hunters and megahit series Stranger Things, plus Pandy and DJ Catnip, the best friends in the interactive series Gabby’s Dollhouse.

Both murals are intensely colored works that incorporate Biggers' signature motif: a grid of polka dots spread across the image.

One is on the exterior of Netflix House, at the parking entrance, a colorful collage of characters, measuring 38 feet x 50 feet — the tallest mural Biggers has tackled. He painted it with aerosol; it took him two months to complete.
The other is on the interior, on the mall side entrance of Netflix House, measuring 57 feet x 12 feet — a study in moody blacks and blues, with accents of neon-red that give it a 3D effect.

“I'm trying to tell the story of Netflix, and the story of where Netflix has been historically, where Netflix is headed in the future, and then also infusing my own narrative and my own language visually into that story,” he says.

“They could have opened this anywhere, so for Dallas to be one of the very first locations — that’s a testament to us as a market, as consumers of arts and consumers in general," he says.
