Get dysfunctional … and save!
Steven Jay Crabtree is back with his whacked-out Dysfunctional Divas comedy show late-night at the Pocket Sandwich Thearer this weekend, but it’s not the same show — it’s cheaper! Just tell them at the box office that you saw the listing in Dallas Voice and save $5 off the price of admission. Grrl loves a bargain — leave more cash for martinis.

‘Heather Has Two Mommies’ author Leslea Newman visits Dallas for reading
Lesléa Newman is widely known — some may say notorious — as the children’s author of Heather Has Two Mommies.
But the talented woman is also a poet, which is what brings her to Dallas.
She’ll be reading from her book of poetry October Mourning, a collection that addresses the death of Matthew Shepard. Newman, who was in Laramie the week of Shepard’s murder, took more than a decade to write it. The event is presented by Friends of the Dallas Public Library and Oak Lawn Library Friends.
DEETS:
Dish Restaurant and Lounge
4123 Cedar Springs Road.
6:30 p.m.
Free but RSVP at 214-670-1458.
