Fri 10 Oct 2008 7:00 PM Glinda of Oz
In 1939, Warner Bros. released a movie that almost changed the original book it was based upon. Wanting to see Dorothy’s slippers in bright Technicolor meant changing them to red instead of silver. Wanting to use Judy Garland as Dorothy meant changing a blonde, blue-eyed, short haired Dorothy into a brunette in pigtails and a blue gingham dress. And so it was that millions of children grew up thinking the movie was the book and the book was the movie. Starting its tenth season, The ACT is offering its original musical, “Glinda of Oz” which opens Oct. 10th through the 19th at their now established, Crawford Center for the Arts, 1720 S. Edmonds, in Lewisville, just south of the Renaissance Village Senior Retirement complex. Based on the last book written by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz series, it puts to rest the myths and presents the story as the author truly wrote it. Critics say “Glinda of Oz” was his greatest work about a magical land, somewhere over

Sat 11 Oct 2008 2:00 PM Glinda of Oz
In 1939, Warner Bros. released a movie that almost changed the original book it was based upon. Wanting to see Dorothy’s slippers in bright Technicolor meant changing them to red instead of silver. Wanting to use Judy Garland as Dorothy meant changing a blonde, blue-eyed, short haired Dorothy into a brunette in pigtails and a blue gingham dress. And so it was that millions of children grew up thinking the movie was the book and the book was the movie. Starting its tenth season, The ACT is offering its original musical, “Glinda of Oz” which opens Oct. 10th through the 19th at their now established, Crawford Center for the Arts, 1720 S. Edmonds, in Lewisville, just south of the Renaissance Village Senior Retirement complex. Based on the last book written by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz series, it puts to rest the myths and presents the story as the author truly wrote it. Critics say “Glinda of Oz” was his greatest work about a magical land, somewhere over

Toxins from our food and our suburban “habitat” build up in our bodies over time and can make us feel sluggish and discontent. A detox can help us expel these toxins and restore our physical health and vitality. All of us are exposed to spiritual toxins as well – daily patterns, personal habits, past experiences, and cultural values that sap our spiritual strength and steal our joy. This sermon series will help you become aware of the toxins building up in your soul and give you tools for detoxing your spiritual life and restoring your spiritual health.

Sun 12 Oct 2008 2:00 PM George Rodrigue Book Signing
When Cajun artist George Rodrigue began his series of Blue Dog paintings in 1984, he had no idea that they would consume the greater part of his life for over two decades, and that the mysterious Blue Dog—inspired by his studio dog–turned-model, Tiffany, and the Cajun loup-garou folk legend—would become a wildly popular international icon as well. Blue Dog Speaks is the first book to prominently emphasize Rodrigue’s painting titles, one of the most important elements in the creation of a Blue Dog painting, alongside the works. Rodrigue uses Blue Dog painting titles to provide insight—whether humorous or nostalgic or sad—into the human condition.

Tue 14 Oct 2008 7:30 PM Frederick Clay Bartlett: Post-Impressionism
(Lecture 2 of 2) In honor of The Impressionists: Master Paintings from the Art Institute of Chicago exhibition currently at the Kimbell in Fort Worth, Dr. Brettell will give two public lectures on private collectors of French avant-garde painting at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 7 and 14, in the Davidson Auditorium at the UT Dallas School of Management. Although the second lecture is titled Frederick Clay Bartlett: Post-Impressionism and Modern Art in the 1920’s, it is really about two important art patrons: Clay and Martin Ryerson. Bartlett’s private collection was given to The Art Institute of Chicago in 1926 and included major paintings by Cezanne, van Gogh, Seurat, Gauguin, Picasso, Hodler and Matisse. Ryerson’s gift in 1933, however, is said to be the most important in the museum’s history because of the range of important artists and historical periods represented, from Impressionists to Old Master paintings.

The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom.

Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first.

Sat 01 Nov 2008 8:00 PM The Power of Music to Inspire
The chorus’ 36th season, ‘The Power of Music’, begins on Saturday, November 1 with its Choral Treasures concert, featuring a rare performance of Luigi Cherubini’s beautiful Requiem in C minor. Cherubini lived to be a very old man and was highly revered during his lifetime by Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz and others – quite a devoted following. Beethoven was so moved by Cherubini’s requiem that he requested it be performed at his own state funeral. Cherubini’s requiem set the standard and was the most studied musical model for this genre for years. Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, written for chorus, orchestra, and piano, will feature the chorus’ accompanist, Jon Schweikhard, as soloist. The Dallas Chamber Orchestra, which first collaborated with the chorus in 2007, will accompany the chorus. Tickets are $20, $25 at the door; season tickets are available. Student tickets are $10.
