Michael Quinn Sullivan
"Empower Texans"
Enjoy an evening of a powerful speaker, good food and fellowship.
Michael Quinn Sullivan is president and CEO of Empower Texans, and its premier project, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility.
The Fort Worth Star Telegram has said Sullivan “slays taxpayer dragons in Austin… When the heat is on in Austin, Michael Quinn Sullivan knows how to make it even hotter.” The Dallas Morning News has called him an "agitator, whose name has been invoked — both in earnest and with scorn — in both chambers" of the legislature.

The creators of Greater Tuna, Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, bring you their hilarious new play I Heard That!, playing for 16 performances Tue., Feb. 21 through Sun., Mar. 4, 2012 in the Bank of America Theatre.

This time, instead of the citizens of the third smallest town in Texas, the entire world serves as the target for their outrageous satiric comedy, in situations ranging from testy marriages gone postal, beekeepers in search of a buzz, political hacks desperate for the next crazy issue, totalitarian dictators maxing out their credit cards, Civil War re-enactments gone bad and that out-sourced guy in India who can't help you with your problem.

360: Tony Feher (Artist)
The Nasher’s ongoing speaker series features conversations and lectures on the ever-expanding definition of sculpture and the thought processes behind some of the world’s most innovative artwork, architecture and design.
Tony Feher came to prominence in the early 1990s, when he was affiliated with a new generation of Postminimal artists and the “scatter-art” movement. Feher makes use of everyday objects, often in a serial manner that highlights their formal qualities and imbues them with personal meaning.
Roberta Smith writes in The New York Times, “Mr. Feher is a poet but also an engineer of the everyday whose materials include marbles, plastic bags and straws, bottles and jars of all description, coat hangers and chair legs.”
Free with Admission. Free for Members. Complimentary wine reception. To RSVP, please contact 360RSVP@NasherSculptureCenter.org or call 214.242.5159. | Nasher Sculpture Center

The creators of Greater Tuna, Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, bring you their hilarious new play I Heard That!, playing for 16 performances Tue., Feb. 21 through Sun., Mar. 4, 2012 in the Bank of America Theatre.

Cello Concert
Dallas native Bryan Hayslett returns to present a concert on March 3, 2012, as part of a tour taking him from Boston MA, to Hartford CT, Albany NY, and finally Dallas TX. The program includes Bach’s Fifth Suite for Solo Cello, Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata, Lukas Foss’ Capriccio, and the premiere of a new work written for Mr. Hayslett by David Macbride, composer on the faculty of The Hartt School. Pianist Sally VanderPloeg will assist Mr. Hayslett in the performance.
Cited for his “superb musicianship and rich, sonorous playing,” cellist Bryan Hayslett continues to distinguish himself as a versatile solo, orchestral, and chamber music player. Having made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2009 as first prize winner of the Alexander & Buono International String Competition, Mr. Hayslett returned the following year as a repeat top prize laureate.

Johnny Cooper | Phil Pritchett | Quaker City
Johnny Cooper, at the age of 23, has accomplished more than many musicians twice his age. Having recorded two critically-acclaimed, full-length studio albums (and another in the works) and not one, but two live albums under his belt – the total album sales of which have eclipsed 50,000 – Johnny Cooper’s career trajectory cannot be stopped. He recently had two songs included on the soundtrack for the independent movie, Deep In The Heart, which also includes tracks from Charlie Daniels, Larry Gatlin, Wade Bowen, and others. Riding high on the success of 2007’s Ignition – which, alone, has sold over 25,000 copies – and 2009’s Follow, Johnny Cooper now releases Live At The Pub II, a collection of songs that his band recorded live, over the course of two nights, to some of their most devoted fans.

And while that might sound like fancy, it’s closer to the truth than you think.“If you’re going to San Francisco…”Just as the Velvets crackled with New York City electricity and Smiths’ songs came soaked in Manchester drizzle, so the music of Girls captures the stoned and sun-brushed outlook of life in San Francisco. | Granada Theater

That's what happened to one of the donors at BUMC when she gave blood in January and Carter Blood Care entered her name in a drawing which she won!! So the next time the Blood Mobile is at church, (March 11th) do your best to get your iron count up (and no tattoos or body piercings) and give blood.

Dr. Dog / Givers
TICKETS: @ granadatheater.com As a band that has traditionally built their scrappily spirited albums layer by layer in the undisturbed seclusion of their Philadelphia studio, Dr. Dog realized they would need to leave these comforts and work in a professional studio with the help of an outside engineer and producer if they were to continue their album-by-album growth. Having evolved from a band whose primary creative outlet was the album-making process into one that increasingly favored the energy of their live performances, they knew they wanted to document the new dynamic they had developed on the road. | Granada Theater

Frontiers of Flight Museum Hosts Wings of Fre
Aviation enthusiasts of all ages will be “flying high” when they see the vintage Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress” Nine-O-Nine WWII Heavy Bomber, Consolidated B-24J “Liberator” Witchcraft WWII Heavy Bomber, and the P-51 “Mustang” fighter. The tour also offers participants a rare opportunity to explore the aircraft inside and out and learn more about these unique and rare treasures of aviation history. The B-17 is one of only 10 in flying condition in the United States, and the B-24J is the sole remaining example of its type flying in the world.
Admission to the Museum is $12 for adults and $7 for children under 12 and includes access to up-close viewing and tours through the inside of the aircraft. Some adventurous fans will have an incredible opportunity accomplish one of their “bucket list” goals by actually taking a 30-minute flight aboard these rare aircraft. Flights on either the B-17 or B-24 are $425 per person. P-51 flights are $2,200 for a half hour and $3,200 for a full hour. | Frontiers of Flight Museum

Spring Lecture Welcomes Rabbi Michael Lerner
Rabbi Michael Lerner is coming to Dallas! The Dallas Peace Center's 8th annual lecture event features best-selling author Michael Lerner, PhD, rabbi of Beyt Tikkun synagogue in San Francisco. Rabbi Lerner is the editor of Tikkun magazine, one of the most respected intellectual/cultural magazines in the Jewish world.
Rabbi Lerner will examine how the mutual demonization and discounting of Israel's and Palestine's legitimate needs drive ongoing antagonism in the Middle East. He will explore the underlying psychological dynamics that fuel the seeming intransigence on both sides.
Lerner speaks to the importance of being both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine, challenges the master narratives in both Israel and Palestine to the extent that they demean the other side, and exposes the false idea that "homeland security" (either for Israel or for the U.S.) can be achieved through military, political, economic, or cultural domination.
Lerner argues that real security is best achieved throug | Unity of Dallas

Band of Skulls / We Are Augustines
TICKETS: @ granadatheater.com Band of Skulls are a U.K.-based rock trio that messes with categorization, hopscotching from classic rock to garage rock to post-punk and more; they even manage to sound like Fairport Convention at times. Meanwhile, their songs have been used in a Ford Mustang ad, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Friday Night Lights. Their critically acclaimed 2009 debut, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, is as substantial, assured and nearly as effective as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' first record. | Granada Theater
