    Weekend Event Planner

    These are the 11 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    Alex Bentley
    Feb 3, 2022 | 6:00 am

    Weather permitting, this weekend in and around Dallas will see a nice mixture of local and national events. On the local side will be classical music, several local theater productions, and an art closing and opening. On the national side will be a traveling immersive art exhibition, several well-known comedians, a concert featuring Disney princesses, and the return of professional tennis to the area.

     

    Below are the best ways to spend your precious free time this weekend. As of press time, all are on. But with below-freezing temperatures and icy conditions expected on Thursday and possibly longer, check with event organizers about potential postponements/cancellations.

     

     Thursday, February 3

     

     Immersive Frida Kahlo
    Immersive Frida Kahlo is a space where visitors can explore the world through the eyes of Frida Kahlo, a brilliant, uncompromising painter who created some of history’s most awe-inspiring artwork. Visitors will see the Mexico-born artist’s work come to life on a grand scale thanks to large-scale projections accompanied by a musical score. Guests will be able to discover the people, events, and obstacles that made Kahlo the extraordinary woman she was. The immersive exhibition will be on display at Lighthouse Dallas through at least April 17.

     

     Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "Welcome Back Maestro Litton" (UPDATE: The February 3 concert has been canceled.)
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra will welcome back conductor Andrew Litton with a concert also featuring pianist Stephen Hough. Selections for the concert, running through Saturday at Meyerson Symphony Center, will include Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2.

     

     Friday, February 4

     

     Art Centre Theatre productions
    Art Centre Theatre in Plano will open two new productions this weekend. Breaking Up Is Hard to Do: The Musical (running through February 20) follows Gabe, who, lacking the self-confidence to perform his own music, is secretly the songwriting genius behind the music Del claims as his own. When Gabe meets Marge, he is compelled to take action to win her heart and, ultimately, to reveal himself as the true musician, performing his own songs in front of the whole resort. In The Vagina Monologues (running through February 19), Eve Ensler interviewed more than 200 women and chose some of the greatest stories about vaginas. The stories range from happy, to sad, to angry, to confused, but they are all spoken in an effort to empower women and celebrate the vagina.

     

     Rodney Carrington: "Let Me In!"
    A native of Longview, Texas, Rodney Carrington is a multi-talented comedian, actor, and writer who has recorded eight major record label comedy albums, selling over 3 million copies. His stand-up act typically includes a mixture of comedy and original songs, a smattering of which have reached the top 100 on the Billboard Country charts. He'll perform at Majestic Theatre.

     

     Richardson Theatre Centre presents Drop Dead (UPDATE: The February 4 performance has been canceled; the production will now start on February 5.)
    A cast of has-been actors plan to revive their careers in Drop Dead!, a potboiler murder mystery directed by "Wonder Child of the Broadway Stage" Victor Le Pewe (a psychotic eye-twitching megalomaniac). But when the murders and mysteries exceed those in the script, these thespians must save the show and their careers, as well as their lives. The production will run through February 20 at Richardson Theatre Centre.

     

     Saturday, February 5

     

     Nate Bargatze: "The Raincheck Tour"
    Comedian Nate Bargatze comes to Dallas as part of his "The Raincheck Tour." The 42-year-old Bargatze has only gotten significant notice in the past eight years or so, releasing his first album in 2014. Since then he's released two stand-alone Netflix specials, including 2021's The Greatest Average American, and has his own podcast, Nateland. He'll perform at Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie.

     

     Patton Oswalt: "Who's Ready to Laugh?" 
    Patton Oswalt is a comedian whose size belies his impact on the entertainment world. He's had award-winning comedy specials, many memorable film roles, and guest appearances on TV shows like Parks and Recreation. He recently created M.O.D.O.K., the new Marvel stop-motion animated adult comedy series and released the Emmy and Grammy-nominated Netflix special, I Love Everything, in 2020. He'll perform a night of stand-up comedy at Majestic Theatre. (UPDATE: Patton Oswalt broke his foot on February 3, necessitating the postponement of this event. It will be rescheduled for a TBD date in the future.)

     

     Disney Concerts presents Disney Princess: The Concert (UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled for October 22. All tickets will be honored on the new date.)
     Disney Princess: The Concert features four Broadway actors who played Belle, Jasmine, Anastasia, and Nala, celebrating all the Disney Princesses in an evening of story, animation, and song. Tony nominee Susan Egan, two-time Tony nominee Laura Osnes, Grammy nominee Courtney Reed, and rising star Aisha Jackson join forces in this concert where they will sing Disney Princess songs and share their exclusive, hilarious, and heartfelt behind-the-scenes stories. The event will be at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

     

     Theatre Three presents Maytag Virgin
    Theatre Three will present the regional premiere of Audrey Cefaly’s Maytag Virgin, which follows Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash and her new neighbor, Jack Key, over the year following the tragic death of Lizzy’s husband. The play explores the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment, and the bridge between the two. The production will run at Bryant Hall on the Kalita Humphreys Theater complex through February 20.

     

     Sunday, February 6

     

     Dallas Museum of Art opening and closing
    The Dallas Museum of Art will close "Van Gogh and the Olive Groves" on Sunday after almost four months. The first exhibition dedicated to Vincent van Gogh’s important olive grove series, it reunites for the first time the series of paintings devoted to the titular motif that the artist produced between June and December 1889. Opening will be "Octavio Medellín: Spirit and Form," the first-ever museum retrospective for Octavio Medellín, an influential Mexican American artist and teacher whose work helped shape the Texas art scene for six decades. Medellín was a noted sculptor who mastered a wide range of media, engaging with modernist trends in both his native Mexico and the United States.

     

     ATP presents Dallas Open
    Top-ranked tennis player John Isner didn't have a successful run at the Australian Open this year, but he'll headline the Dallas Open, the first time the ATP Tour has come to Dallas in over 30 years. The tournament, running through February 13 at the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex at Southern Methodist University, will feature other top players like Grigor Dimitrov, Reilly Opelka, Taylor Fritz, and more.

    Immersive Frida Kahlo will be at Lighthouse Dallas through at least April 17.

    Movie Review

    Lazy 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' remake hooks nothing but nostalgia

    Sarah Pidgeon, Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    When the original I Know What You Did Last Summer came out in 1997, it was riding the coattails of Scream, which came out in 1996. Like that film, it featured hot young actors of the time, albeit with a story that was much more standard than the inventive Scream. Still, it made enough of an impact for some studio executive to think it was worth reviving nearly 30 years later with its own legacy-quel.

    In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a group of five high school friends - Danica (Madelyn Cline), Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers), and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) - have reunited at the engagement party for Danica and Teddy on the 4th of July. While on an impromptu trip to watch fireworks on a twisty road in the nearby hills, Teddy goofs off in the middle of the road, causing a truck to swerve and drive off the cliff.

    A year later, having sworn to each other to not speak of the accident to anybody, they start getting stalked by a mysterious person in a fisherman’s slicker carrying a hook. With Teddy’s rich father, Grant (Billy Campbell), actively trying to cover up what his son did (as well as the fallout), it’s up to the group to figure out who is coming after them and how to stop that person.

    Written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and co-written by Sam Lansky, the film doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; in fact, it barely builds something that can roll. It might just be the laziest and most incompetent attempt to capitalize on an existing piece of intellectual property. There is almost zero effort put into establishing a connection between the members of the friend group, making them feel like strangers for the entire film.

    It doesn’t help that the young male actors in the film - which grows to include Wyatt (Joshua Orpin), a new fiance for Danica - serve no purpose other than to be generically good-looking. The most impactful of the men in the film is the returning Freddie Prinze, Jr., who - along with Jennifer Love Hewitt - has his old character from the first two films shoehorned into the new story. The filmmakers undercut any good feelings from their return by giving them hardly anything to do and then having Hewitt deliver the line, “Nostalgia is overrated.”

    The film as a whole never has a sense of momentum. The inciting incident is so tame - they even attempt to save the driver before the truck goes off the cliff - that the guilt they feel and the anger of the person going after them doesn’t feel warranted. Once the attacks start, it is shocking at how low-energy the sequences are, providing no sense of suspense or thrills. The filmmakers resort to the lamest of horror movie tropes, turning the film into a paint-by-numbers affair.

    Cline (one of the stars of Netflix’s Outer Banks) and Wonders (The Studio on Apple TV+, Bodies Bodies Bodies) are the clear stars of the film, but their characters are made into inert scream queens, negating any acting talent they possess. Hauer-King, Withers, and Pidgeon don’t bring anything interesting to their characters, existing merely to have someone else for the killer to go after.

    Even the worst films can have some kind of redeeming value if you look hard enough, but the only thing I Know What You Did Last Summer has to offer is that it becomes so comically bad by the end that you can’t help but laugh at its ineptitude. Both fans of the original and fans of horror movies in general will feel cheated by the experience.
