‘Angels in America: Perestroika’ opens at Kalita
It has been more than 20 years since Angels in America, Part II: Perestroika has played in Dallas — back then, the Dallas Theater Center put it on at the Kalita Humphreys Theater. Now, on the heels of the acclaimed production on Broadway, Uptown Players stages it, a follow-up to its 2016 presentation of Part I… and once again, it’s at the Kalita. The same cast and creative team has reunited for this document of AIDS and forgiveness during the Reagan Era. The show plays for only two weekends, but also kicks off Uptown’s Gay History Month Play Festival.

TBT stages the beautiful 19th century ballet ‘Cleopatra’
As they say, “denial” ain’t just a river in Egypt. Indeed, it was the seat of power for Cleopatra, one of the most intriguing figures in world history. Texas Ballet Theater stages the ballet Cleopatra, featuring music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, this weekend in Fort Worth (no shows in Dallas this time!). And in a rare treat, the music will be provided live from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
DEETS: Bass Performance Hall,
