Drama for real
Originally set to be a full production, Theatre Three scaled back Jessica Blank’s and Eric Jensen’s award-winning play The Exonerated about wrongfully convicted defendants to a limited engagement staged reading. The play was deemed the No. 1 play of the year by the New York Times and won a Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle award, so you know it’s good stuff.

Professor X in the flesh
What is likely the Super Bowl for comic and sci-fi fans in Dallas, this year’s Dallas Comic Con looks to impress big time. With guests like Patrick Stewart, pictured, from X-Men films, Val Kilmer from Batman Forever and Marvel godfather Stan Lee in the lineup, the two-day event is like Nirvana. And we’re kinda hoping to see a bunch of hotties in tight superhero costumes as well.

Good Christian belle
Lots of queens were pissed that ABC canceled the campy fun GCB last week. But now you can see its star live and upfront. Singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth shows just show good she is in this one-night only performance.
