Fashion icon Diana Vreeland comes to life at ‘Full Gallop’
She was the legendary fashion editor at Harper’s for a quarter of a century, and even led Vogue for a decade B.W. (Before Wintour), but you may not know Diana Vreeland as well as you may like. That can change with Full Gallop, the decade-old one-woman show making its regional premiere with official opening night on Monday, and local actress Diana Sheehan playing the lead.

Who will be crowned this year’s Voice of Pride winner?
A dozen men and women — all desperately talented — enter a stage. Twenty-four songs later, one emerges $7,500 richer with a reputation as Oak Lawn’s best singer. Will it be a newcomer? One of the returning favorites? Man or woman? Rock or opera? You can never tell, which is why the Voice of Pride finale — sponsored by the Dallas Tavern Guild, is one of the most enjoyable reality shows not on TV. In addition to the contestants, last year’s winner, Walter Lee Cunningham (pictured), will give a farewell performance. It’s like American Idol without having to endure Ryan Seacrest.

The Rose Room inside S4
3911 Cedar Springs Road.
5:30 p.m. doors, 7 p.m. showtime. $5 cover; limited VIP seating available.
