Overview

You will thoroughly enjoy seeing a play in this beautiful Dallas Theater Center. It's the only one in America designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Both lifelong residents and visitors to the city appreciate the diversity of performances that range from a lighthearted Oscar Wilde or Neil Simon play to a thought-provoking historical drama. If you are planning to visit the city in late March, be sure to catch the annual Dallas Video Festival. The center is actually a complex composed of the Kalita Humphreys Theater built in 1959 and the barn like Arts District Theater (located at 2401 Flora Street), which was built in the 1980s.

We went to opening night of the theater's show "Ella" based on the concert Ms. Fitzgerald performed in Nice in 1967. The cast, in particular E. Faye Butler was outstanding as Ella. Trumpeter Ron Haynes, blew us away his vocal and brass-playing impression of Louis Armstrong. The writing and the staging had us feeling like we had stepped back in time. We love Miss Ella, and Ms. Butler's performance brought her back, if only for a night. Thank you.
