Beat the Texas heat with a trip to the ‘Royal Society of Antarctica’
What would it take to get you to live in the coldest, remotest location at the bottom of the world? (That’s an easier question to answer if you live in Texas during the summer.) What if you were born there and all your life you knew only misfits and scientists — gadabouts who create their own world? That’s the premise of The Royal Society of Antarctica, the latest show from Fort Worth’s Stage West. Lee Trull directs an exceptional cast that includes Drew Wall, Michael Federico, Christopher Dontrell Piper and Grace Montie.
DEETS: Stage West, 281 W. Vickery Blvd., Fort Worth.
