Directed by Joel Ferrell and staged in Bryant Hall, STT's final show of the season centers around four new inhabitants of a very small East Texas town: a former minister yearning to escape his past a disgruntled Wal-Mart employee hoping to do the same an eccentric Reiki therapist looking for love and her estranged son, who has a penchant for night sky-gazing and Battlestar Galactica. The Necessities Second Thought Theatre, July 7-29 Local theatermaker Blake Hackler has penned a world premiere about sex, love, loneliness, and belonging. The stories and the company's reflections on them offer a snapshot of race relations in Dallas and the community's hope for the future.
The show, a co-production with Kitchen Dog Theater that's staged at the Trinity River Arts Center, is a compilation of stories from police officers, protesters, and community members that was gathered by students in the fall of 2016. Shots Fired Cry Havoc Theater Company and Kitchen Dog Theater, July 7-15 This is the second run of the acclaimed documentary-style play about the July 2016 Dallas police shootings, and it coincidentally opens on the event's one-year anniversary. Here are the 10 (ish) shows to see, in order by start date: FIT was founded in 1998 as a way to aid local theater companies that didn't have a permanent performance space, and now the participating one-act plays are paired in two-show blocks that run in rotating repertory for the festival's two-week duration. That's because the Festival of Independent Theatres is back to inject some short-play goodness into the summer. This month's headline is a little misleading, because there are way more than 10 shows to see.
