If you were a kid growing up watching TV in North Texas in the 1960s, you might remember a comical character by the name of Icky Twerp. Or maybe you recall a Channel 11 kid’s show called “Slam Bang Theatre.” The inspiring story of Bill Camfield, the creative mind behind the show and the character, is one of hilarity, heartbreak, and even a smidgen of Halloweenish horror... but mostly it’s the hilarity. This show is recommended for all ages. Tickets: Adults $20, Seniors, teachers, military, students $15, children $10. Dinner offered at the HipCafe at 7 p.m. Performance starts at 8:15 p.m. www.hippocket.org, 817-246-9775.
