Thrift for Back-to-School!
Director Ashley White is tackling a play by “that one guy” (Molière, the father of modern French comedy) for Circle Theatre (230 W 4th St, Fort Worth, 817-877-3040) thru Sat, Aug 24. In this punk-rock remake of the classic farce Imposter! Hypocrite! Tartuffe!, a cunning guy tries to charm his way into a household and is thwarted by some ladies who beat him at his own game. While tonight is opening night, if you decide to go Friday, arrive at 7pm to enjoy the pre-show Tarot & Tini Treats event. As Circle says, “Arrive early to see your future!” Tickets start at $37 at CircleTheatre.com/Tartuffe.
When we mentioned Hip Pocket Theatre’s water-themed Raft Project in our annual Summer Issue, the play still needed a place to, um, land. As we approach the end of summer, we now know that it has docked at Southside Preservation Hall (1519 Lipscomb St, Fort Worth, 817-926-2800). No late seatings are allowed for opening night at 8:15pm sharp (or, actually, now thru Sun, Aug 25). Live music, physically emotive storytelling, and puppetry will go with the H2O. Tickets are $20 at HipPocket.org.
This year’s back-to-school Sales Tax Holiday is FriSun, and items include most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks (less than $100). For all the details, visit Comptroller.Texas. gov and search by “Sales Tax Holiday.” If you find yourself on the East Side during your tax-free quest, Grand Prairie Premium Outlets offers an incentive program. Anyone who spends a combined total of $500 at participating stores will receive a $50 American
Express Simon Gift Card. For more info, visit PremiumOutlets.com/outlet/grand-prairie. In collaboration with the local FWISD Teaching & Learning Center, Potter’s House Church (1270 Woodhaven Blvd, Fort Worth, 817-288-9970) is hosting its annual Back2-School Festival. Starting at 9am, they will give away backpacks, school supplies, uniforms, and more. This event is open to the general public, and attending is free. Check out our Big Ticket column in next week’s paper for more back-to-school information.
Enjoy two glorious mornings hanging out with your pup in the beauty of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden (3220 Botanic Garden Blvd, Fort Worth, 817463-4160) 8am-11am Sat-Sun. Admission to Dog Days is $12, plus $5 per pup at FWBG. org. Hydration stations for our four-legged friends will be provided by the Garden across campus. Then, starting in September, the festivities return to two full days rather than only mornings (protecting those paws!): SatSun, Sep 14-15 and Oct 5-6.
Along with its ongoing Magnolia at the Modern series, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (3200 Darnell St, 817-738-9215) hosts various film festivals throughout the year. This weekend, it’s Masterpieces from Studio Ghibli Showcasing six films from animation masters Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, the festival features The Boy and the Heron, this year’s Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature Film. Every film will be introduced by Dr. Marc Hairston, a research scientist from the University of Texas who is also a professional space physicist, an anime author, a part-time anime scholar, and a Fort Worth native who has hosted many animation festivals at the Modern. The screenings will be in the museum’s auditorium. Tickets are $10.
No movie night for us this evening. Today is the day that I finally get to see Darnell perform with Journey as they open for Def Leppard at Globe Life Field (734 Stadium Dr, Arlington, 817-533-1972), along with the Steve Miller Band. Knowing that Def Leppard is my favorite old-school guilty pleasure, my husband, who hates them, bought me tickets for Christmas, thinking I’d take a friend. He was wrong. I’m dragging him with me. Total wife move, right? Tickets are mostly sold out, but there are still some at SeatMom.com/performers/journey, and you can use the promo code 2023 for a discount.
The classic farce Imposter! Hypocrite! Tartuffe! runs thru Aug 24 at Circle Theater.
This weekend, several anime films, including the Oscar-winning The Boy and the Heron, will screen at the Modern.
Fitness Worth
For the CrossFit Games this week, here’s what to know and where to go — or avoid.
BY BUCK D. ELLIOTT
Consider yourself warned. Thousands of arguably the most fanatical — and, to some, most irritating — fitness enthusiasts are currently rucking, lunging, and handstand-walking their way into Funkytown for the 18th annual CrossFit Games this week mostly inside Dickies Arena.
There will be individual and team divisions with the first event held off-site at 7am Thu at Marine Creek Lake, where competitors will run four miles before swimming an unreleased distance. The first arena session for individuals begins at 11am, and the official opening ceremony — a parade of all competitors and the countries they represent — starts at 4pm.
Open to the public for free inside Will Rogers Memorial Center, the CrossFit Experience will house fitness equipment and apparel companies of every type, plus a livestream of the arena and events as well as workout opportunities for patrons during all four days of competition.
Three event blocks are scheduled for Friday, two at Dickies and the final workout for individuals and teams at Farrington Field from 8 to 10pm, for which attendance will be open and free to the public. At 7am Sat, Farrington will also host a community workout, where locals can complete the CrossFit Hero workout “Chad,” 1,000
Come break the rules and say “yes!” to new art experiences at the Carter’s Second Thursdays! Every Second Thursday is different than the last — mingle with fellow art lovers, make art, and meet visiting artists, sometimes with live music and always with themed cocktails inspired by the Carter’s collection. You’ll never think of museums in the same way again.
SECOND THURSDAYS ARE
step-ups for time, with or without a weighted ruck pack. Three events inside Dickies on Saturday and two more on Sunday total 11 individual tests of fitness, though Games Director Dave Castro is known to throw athletes a dual or surprise event. ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+ will air two hours of coverage per day with highlights.
If you prefer a more traditional party atmosphere, major sponsor GORUCK is hosting a watch party at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall in the Stockyards. Almost all ticket levels include a complimentary limited bar if you’d just prefer to raise your blood alcohol while watching others raise
barbells. The final event is 3-5pm Sun at Dickies, with an award ceremony to follow. The official CrossFit Games afterparty will appropriately be at Billy Bob’s at 9pm Sun, and tickets are available if you’re into sweats paired with cowboy boots, and, honestly, who isn’t? l
