THE TOY DRIVE DOWN LAKEWOOD LANES
Story by RENEE UMSTED | Photos courtesy of EMERY BASTABLE
During the pandemic, Lakewood neighbors Kelsey Hills and Gable Roby met at TCBY to talk. One topic that often emerged was how the virus was hurting the most vulnerable in society, especially children and families aided by organizations like Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center.
Hills, who had recently moved from Lake Highlands, was looking for a way to get involved after leaving her job at Neiman Marcus. She remembered the Jingle Ride event from her previous neighborhood. A group of volunteers drove past houses, collecting toys from families right in their front yards to donate to Pamper Lake Highlands.
A toy parade seemed perfect for a pandemic and for Lakewood.
Because it was an outdoor event, neighbors could stay socially distanced.
Hills and Roby do other philanthropic projects, but this one was different. It was an opportunity for their children to get involved and learn what giving can be — “tangible, difference-making philanthropy,” Roby says.
“At this age, how do you get them involved in a way that they understand?” Hills says. “That might be financial giving, but there’s also giving of your time and to things that are important to you and why and having the opportunity to discuss that and give them an opportunity to see it for themselves and experience.”
Planning for the December 2020 event began in November, so it had to come together quickly. Selecting DCAC as the receiving organization took “less than three seconds,” Roby says. Hills took on the graphic design work. Roby, who grew up in Lakewood, had the connections.
They invited Jill Scovell and Jessie Stanton to help. Scovell is creatively inclined and came up with the idea to wrap boxes and place them on top of cars. Stanton brought a business-minded approach and helped with the decorating. Everyone’s kids, 11 in total, helped pass out fliers to spread word about the parade.
Event organizers hired a Santa, rented a trailer and drove around the neighborhood collecting gifts, their kids dressed as elves as they gathered presents.
“We put it together so quickly and really had no idea what to expect,” Hills says.
Neighbors turned the event into a party. They came out of their houses dressed in festive outfits, holiday music playing, and the little ones took photos with Santa.
About 500 families donated gifts.
Organizers had to empty the trailer twice to make room for all the presents. At the end of the night, Jessica Short, a development officer at DCAC, came with her daughter, who normally would have been sleeping, to help move about $25,000 worth of gifts to the DCAC building.
They met at the Hills’ house to debrief and made a list about what they could do better next time.
There was no question the toy drive had to happen this year, but planning started much earlier, in August.
DCAC called the meeting to begin discussing sponsorships, which kickstarted the entire planning process. Using the list they made after last year’s toy drive, they split up tasks, with Kiley and Jason White joining. They made plans to set up a website and social media accounts, instead of using Roby’s personal page.
The route is mostly the same, but they are renting a U-Haul to store gifts they collect throughout the night. With sponsorships and a more targeted marketing campaign, they’re hoping to double what they collected last year.
“I think one of the things that made this particular event really successful and why we’re excited to push it further this year is because most of the philanthropy done in this neighborhood, a lot of the events are school driven,” Roby says. “And this was an equalizer. It was an outside-focused event. It just solidified our geography.” THE GIFT OF LOVE. THE GIFT OF PEACE. THE GIFT OF HAPPINESS. MAY ALL THESE BE YOURS THIS CHRISTMAS. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM DAVID BUSH REALTORS!

Pocket Sandwich Theatre has been a fixture in our neighborhood for 41 years. Photography by Emil Lippe.
Just to be clear from the get-go: Our neighborhood’s beloved Pocket Sandwich Theatre (PST) is not closing, merely moving.
Where to remains to be seen, but count on The Advocate to keep you informed. And count on Shanon Dickinson and Brad Dickinson, daughter and son of Joe Dickinson, one of the theater’s founders, to keep the theatre alive. They are determined to preserve their father’s legacy.
Now about this move.
As if keeping a dinner theater afloat during a pandemic wasn’t challenging enough, the Pocket, as it is affectionately called, received word a few months ago that Mockingbird Central Plaza, the shopping center the popular theater has called home for 31 years, had been sold. The new owners informed them that their lease would not be renewed because the theater does not fit their vision for the shopping center’s future, and they would need to vacate by year’s end.
“We can’t wait to see what that vision is,” the theatre website says, presumably wryly.
Despite an exhaustive search for just the right property, the future home of the Pocket is uncertain as of press time. Shanon Dickinson, the theater manager, described the hunt as an “ordeal,” citing the difficulty of finding a space to accommodate a dinner theater — and one that won’t break the bank.
Shanon says they prefer to remain in East Dallas, but “real estate prices aren’t friendly for ‘mom-and-pop’ operations like ours.” But she adds, “We’ve been approached by numerous smaller towns, centrally located, that recognize the value we bring to the area.”
The Pocket has been a fixture in the neighborhood for 41 years, and Shanon and Brad detail their father’s involvement from the early days. He and good friend Rodney Dobbs had worked together at Dallas Repertory Theatre back when it was located at NorthPark. One day they met for lunch in a little sandwich shop on Lower Greenville and became buddies with the two young owners. When the struggling sandwich shop closed, they decided to open a theater there, despite its then-sketchy environs. In 1980, The Greenville Avenue Pocket Sandwich Theatre was born. Ten years later they moved to the larger location on Mockingbird.
The Pocket is the third-oldest theater in Dallas and the second-longest continually operated theater in Dallas. It has produced

more than 350 shows, many spoofing horror stories such as Sweeney Todd and Jekyll and Hyde or great/bad science fiction, during which audience members are encouraged to boo and hiss and toss popcorn at the villains.
They’ve also entertained audiences with more traditional fare, alternating melodramas with comedies such as Arsenic and Old Lace and Barefoot in the Park. They’ve even tossed in the occasional drama: Think Inherit the Wind or Camelot.
Shanon and Brad grew up watching their father, Joe, perform in local theater in every town where they lived, and when the theatre was established, it became a family affair. Over the years, Shanon has waited tables, toiled in the kitchen and is now manager. Brad has acted, directed shows and co-written melodramas with his dad.
The Mockingbird location they’ll have to leave soon is saturated with fun memories. Brad laughs as he recalls the time an actress had an emergency and couldn’t make it on closing night of Dracula. She played a vampire who dressed in a wedding gown and high heels and sang with Dracula.
“I had directed the show and my dad was the assistant director,” he says. “We were the only ones that knew the lines and blocking. I looked at him and said, ‘I’m the director. You’re going on.’ He looked at me and said, ‘I’m your daddy, get in the damn dress.’ Thankfully the audience had a really good sense of humor as I did my best to sing — not my forte — in that very tight dress.”
But some of the memories are bittersweet. “As we get ready to depart (get kicked out), I remember the period of time when we built out the current location 31 years ago,” he says. “Rodney Dobbs is something of a technical/construction wizard and we did almost all of the build out — walls, elevated seating, stage, etc. It’s not just having been there for so long, but also that almost everything associated with the space was created by us.”
The Pocket family has grown over the years to include not just blood relatives but appreciative actors and patrons. Shanon and Brad tell of their father’s

memorial service at the Pocket in 2010. “There has never been that many people at the theater. It was completely packed inside and dozens of people were outside,” he says. “Everyone remembered dad in a jovial manner as he would have wanted and toasted him with a shot of cheap whiskey.”
As Pocket Sandwich Theatre gets ready to take its final bow on Mockingbird with its 39th production of Ebenezer Scrooge, written by Joe Dickinson, Shanon and Brad are haunted by ghosts of theaters past, present and yet to come. But they remain optimistic. “In 1990 we moved here from another location on Greenville Avenue, and 2022 will be the start of another move and a new adventure,” Shanon says.

By GEORGE MASON
Lighten up, people
Spread kindness, talk to others and learn something new
Let’s lighten up, neighbors.
Some of you are doing that with holiday decorations and yard art. That may reflect a secular sense of the season — Santa Claus and reindeer, elves and candy canes, rooftop stars and strings of white or colored lights. There’s a religious underpinning to much of these celebrations. December features the minor Jewish holy days called the Festival of Lights (also known as Hanukkah), and the major Christian holy day called the Feast of the Nativity (also known as Christmas). Light is central to both holidays.
Hanukkah involves the lighting of a nine-branched candelabra called a menorah. On successive nights, the central candle — the shamash (the “attendant”) — is used to light another candle until all eight have been lit. This recalls the miracle of oil from the cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem when the Jewish Maccabees retook Jerusalem from the Greek overlords who had desecrated the sanctuary. They found only enough oil in temple lamps to burn for one night, but the oil kept the lamps burning for eight nights. Jews remember this as evidence that God’s abundance can be trusted, and that light conquers darkness as good conquers evil.
Christmas is specifically the story of the birth of Jesus and the Christian belief in him as the Son of God, Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world. But John’s Gospel uses the metaphor of light: “What has come into being in him was life, and life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”
We associate darkness with ignorance and evil. Enlightenment drives out the darkness and the powerlessness of unknowing. The light of truth opens our minds and lessens our fears. To know something is to have power that can be used either for control over others or in service to others. Which leads to the second thing: goodness.
Shedding light is not just sharing an intellectual truth; it is spreading a social good. “You are the light of the world,” Jesus told his followers. “I will give you as a light to the nations,” says the Prophet Isaiah as the mouthpiece of God, “that my salvation may reach the end of the earth.” To be light in this way is to confront hate with love and transform it, to challenge cruelty with kindness and convert it.
In this season of shorter days and longer nights, let’s lighten up in at least two ways: learn something new and true, and do something good and right.
Read something out of your comfort zone. Talk to someone with knowledge about a subject you don’t know about. Avoid conspiracy theories. Run to expertise, not away from it. Then, find a need and meet it. Commit a random act of kindness. Volunteer on behalf of those in need. Give money to relieve hardships.
Once you’ve got both of those earnest duties done, you might lighten up in one more way. As Chesterton put it: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.”

Nationally recognized and owned by women? That’s neighborhood remodeling company Kitchen Design Concepts, which can handle any remodeling project at your home. Kitchen Design Concepts is overwhelmed with great testimonials from happy homeowners, including this one: “We hired Kitchen Design Concepts to do a complete redo of our kitchen. This project involved moving several water lines and moving support walls and support beams. The project site was always kept clean. The Kitchen Design Concepts owners were onsite for every inspection, and they passed each one the first time. The schedule was kept very well, and each step went smoothly. Our kitchen is unbelievable! Next job — my outdoor kitchen.”
