A few weeks ago we reported that Grapevine’s Ohlook Peforming Arts Center, which incongruously specializes in edgy, queer-friendly fare, was headed to a community theater play competition with Dog Sees God, which deals humorously with homophobia and other issues. Well, last month the production took home lots of kudos at that festival in Rochester, N.Y., winning best overall production, ensemble, director, featured actor, supporting actor and sound design.
The news came, unfortunately, just as word that Ohlook’s landlord informed the company that he would be selling the property they have called home since 2004. They are on the hunt for a new space.
Here’s a suggestion: Since you do so much gay stuff, how ’bout relocating closer to the gayborhood?
They should definitely relocate to downtown Dallas, where the Majestic Theater sits empty for most of the year. Have them contact Michael Rilley at (214) 670-3687 or Michael.rilleyES@dallascityhall.com.
