    Dallas playwright's comedy gets a starry New York City premiere

    An award-winning backstage farce by local playwright Jeff Swearingen will get a New York showcase production in February — the next step in the show's journey to Off Broadway.

    Stiff, which Swearingen wrote in 2014, has assembled a cast of actors from Broadway, television, and film for its 12-performance run February 21-March 3, 2018, at The TBG Theater in Manhattan. Tony-nominated producer Terry D. Loftis is behind the production, along with Dallas producers Bren Rapp and Gregory Patterson and former DFW resident Andy Baldwin, who is directing and co-producing.

    Fun House Theatre and Film, the acclaimed, youth-centric Dallas theater company co-founded by Rapp and Swearingen, first produced the comedy in 2014 with its own troupe of actors, all of whom were under the age of 18. The show landed on nearly every critic's best-of list, and enjoyed a New York-based staged reading earlier this year.

    Described as Bullets Over Broadway meets Weekend at Bernie's, Stiff takes place during the Broadway boom of the late 1950s. When the town's most powerful critic, Mickey Blake, is found dead in the Tin Box Theater after a performance of the off-off Broadway show The Blighted Heart, a trio of hapless but determined theater folk refuse to let their dream be deterred. Producer Saul Solomon, writer Robert Grey, and director Stanley Miller fake Blake's review of their show and hide his death just long enough to let the rave hit the stands. Of course, just when they think they have it all under control, the group is hit with a surprise, and mayhem ensues.

    Joshua Morgan, from the Broadway production of Les Miserables, stars as director Stanley Miller. Mitch Lerner is the writer Robert Grey, and has been seen previously onscreen in Attack of the Show, June Falling Down, and My Best Friend's Death. Nicolas Greco will play the producer Saul Solomon, and has been seen in TV shows for Nickelodeon and MTV and onstage as far away as Shakespeare's Globe theater in London.

    The main cast is rounded out by Clifton Samuels as Walter Goldstein (Samuels' Broadway credits include Follies with Bernadette Peters and Amazing Grace, the Coen brothers' film Hail! Caesar, and TV's Blacklist and Boardwalk Empire), Robert Tunstall as Mickey Blake (his past world tour credits include leading roles in A Chorus Line, 42nd Street, and The Wizard of Oz), and Amandina Altomare as Vanessa Verkamp (who appeared in Gypsy with Leslie Uggams). Swearingen himself plays the actor Guy Van.

    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.
