WEST END
Museum new home to rare artifacts
By Michael Tate
mjt0004@yahoo.com Two artifacts from World War II, including a rare volume of photographs, have found a new home at the Dallas Holocaust Museum. A photo scrapbook detailing the work of the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives (MFAA) section and a seven-branch menorah were presented on May 4 to the museum by Robert M. Edsel, founder of the Monuments Men Foundation. The foundation preserves and promotes the work of the MFAA, the wartime organization created to save and repatriate artistic and cultural works plundered by the Nazis. Those who served in that section are known as "Monuments Men." “We’re thrilled to receive this cherished album and beautiful
menorah," Dallas Holocaust Museum President and CEO Mary Pat Higgins said in a released statement. "As symbols of repair and restoration after the horrors of Nazi aggression, as well of Jewish continuity and perseverance, we will proudly display them in the new facility we plan to build in Dallas’ historic West End.” The scrapbook is a rare and significant addition to the museum's collection. Researchers know of maybe a dozen volumes still in existence. The scrapbooks were made at the Offenbach Archive Depot near Frankfurt. This was the collection center for recovered items relating to Judaic religion and culture. The books were originally four-volume sets made by hand. The donated book is Volume Two. Only two full sets still exist, one in the National Archives and another

FARMERS MARKET
Dallas’ first food hall opens with a splash By David Mullen and Christelle Dupont
david@katytrailweekly.com christelle@medialinepr.com On a bright Friday afternoon, Dallas civic leaders came together to celebrate what they hope is a beacon for the future of retail in downtown Dallas. The new Dallas Farmers Market first food hall — The Market —officially opened. “I love the sound of jack hammers in the morning,” the sunglasses toting mayor of Dallas Mike Rawlings said, as further construction was taking place to build more residences. “It sounds like progress.” The Market is patterned after the typically European food halls offering fast, fresh and innovative fare that have sprouted up across the nation. A fully renovated indoor

Taqueria La Ventana is one of more than 20 restaurants and shops in Dallas' new The Market. space, The Market (formerly known as Shed 2) features a unique selection of local merchants, artisanal food vendors and restaurants creating a vibrant and much-needed food hub in downtown Dallas. “What is wonderfully poignant is that this special
part of the city is all coming together at once,” Rawlings said. “And what every family comes around to is food. But this is not only, fun, not only family, and a not only food, but it is about inertia, local businesses together and local artisans together.”
“Several years ago, our vision for a vibrant farmers market began, and today we celebrate with all of our partners who have worked tirelessly to transform the farmers market district into an energetic community for downtown residents, shoppers and tourists,” said Brian Bergersen, partner at DF Market Holdings, LLC, who is leading the massive redevelopment and revitalization efforts. “Our ultimate vision is for The Market and The Shed to have a symbiotic relationship in which The Market’s restaurants and food vendors source local produce and artisanal ingredients from farmers in The Shed, much like Mudhen does currently,” said Amanda Vanhoozier, director of market operations see FOOD on page 7
THEATER REVIEW
Contemporary Theatre transforms to battle fields, then and now By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
Not just anyone could portray Robert E. Lee, but Robert Banks takes on the challenge effectively as the Civil War General in Contemporary Theatre of Dallas’ (CTD) “The Road to Appomattox,” now running through May 22. With a small cast of five, Lee’s physical presence allows him to own the space while onstage. Despite his gruff exterior, he lets his officers, Taylor as played by Matt Holmes and Captain Russell by Kevin Moore, see his vulnerable side as generous and endearing. But is that Moore again as an immodest PhD historian, who steps into the life of Dr. Jenny Weeks (Catherine DuBord) and Steve Weeks (Jeff Swearingen), a married couple who are off on an historical expedition to discover his Civil War ancestry?
Very subtly, the story places Moore in both the past, as a Civil War Army Captain, and as a PhD historian, 150 years later. The show’s director, Susan Sargeant, put it this way, “Moore is an expert in the present, and a messenger in the past, so he gets to time hop.” While doing the hopping, Moore excels in both roles, as Chip, the expert Photo by George Wada on all things Civil War and Robert Banks stars as General Robert E. Lee in “The the obedient messenger to Road to Appomattox” through May 22. General Lee. Moore’s been across the couple on their journey, puts seen in many of the area’s theaters, intheir marriage to the test. When Chip cluding Theatre Three; Uptown Players; flirts openly with Dr. Weeks (Catherine Kitchen Dog Theater and WaterTower DuBord), she seems happy with the Theater. In June he will appear in attention. Meanwhile, her husband Uptown Players’ regional premiere of Terrence McNally’s “Mothers and Sons.” see THEATRE on page 11 The historian Chip, who runs

A trip through the drive through at the new Schlotzky’s on Upper Greenville Avenue (formerly the Filling Station) went awry when I asked for a tuna on white. “No tuna at this store,” the anonymous voice said. I opted for roast beef. Things went from bad to worse from speaker box to window. When I got to the window, I was informed that the store was out of beef. “Please choose another item,” I was asked by the helpful cashier. Not well versed with the options at the apparently meatless deli, I had to choose from a menu at the window as cars with irritated patrons lined up behind me.

Art and the environment go together like peanut butter and jelly. Ok, maybe not as nostalgic as PB&J, but when the two disciplines utilize each other’s strengths, the result has an immense, positive impact. Throughout history, art has taken inspiration and cues from nature resulting in ancient hieroglyphics depicting wildlife and famous works such as Monet’s poppies. In more recent times art is used as a catalyst for change. In 2005, collaboration between the Natural World Museum and United Nations Environment Program created the Art for the Environment THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ART initiative to “utilize the universal language of AND THE ENVIRONMENT SPARKS art as a catalyst to unite people in action and A NEW PATH FOR INSPIRING PEOPLE thought, and to emTO MAKE CHANGE IN THEIR power individuals, communities and leaders to EVERYDAY LIVES BY CONNECTING focus on environmental Naima Montacer values across social, TO EMOTIONS. economic and political realms.” troencephalogram) device, and then watch the Mixing art and the environment doesn’t underwater photography projection take place. have to be as planned as a United Nations initiative.

Overcoming joint pain
By Turner Cavender
david@katytrailweekly.com There is a famous scene from the movie “The Natural,” where New York Knights outfielder Roy Hobbs (played by Robert Redford) breaks his prized bat, “Wonderboy,” that he had made as a child from a tree hit by lightening. With the pennant on the line, Hobbs tells the round-faced batboy to "pick him out a winner." The bat boy returns with the bat that Hobbs helped him make. Hobbs hits the next pitch into the light tower on top of the right field stands, wins the game and the pennant. Fast forward to last week during a series with the Texas Rangers at Rogers Centre, when Toronto Blue Jays third baseman and reigning American League Most Valuable Player, Josh Donaldson, was lacing shot after shot down the left field line. The ball just jumped off of his unique looking bat. Little did one know that the bat actually has its roots right here in Dallas. Lake Highlands native and resident Ben Jenkins founded Warstic, which features a limited supply, pro grade wood bat that has amateur baseball players and a few handpicked Major League Baseball players swinging for the fences. “I grew up playing sports — baseball and football — here in Texas and I ended up playing college baseball for Mississippi State and played minor league ball for the (Philadelphia) Phillies,” Jenkins said. “Baseball was just a big part of my upbringing. Like for most, it just played out.” For the last 17 years, Jenkins has owned the Dallas-based design firm One Fast Buffalo, which does graphic work for clients like El Fenix and HG Sply Co. “About five years ago, I decided I wanted to do some brands of my own. I didn’t want to quit client work. I just wanted to do something without clients. So I went back to baseball which is a world I really know

Jack White and Ian Kinsler invested in Ben Jenkins company Warstic. intimately. I know the lingo and how they think and I wanted to do something where design could make a difference.” What started out as a hobby — “passion project,” Jenkins said — has evolved into a real business opportunity. “I thought bats were a good playground, because they are simple,” Jenkins, the father of three boys, said. “But they are like stock cars. If one performs highly — much better than the other — you are probably cheating. So it really gets down to a better design and a more interesting and better name. I merged the two things I love — design and sports — and did it for fun more than anything. And that was about four-and-a-half years ago.” Jenkins has two high profile investors in Warstic: former Ranger, now Detroit Tigers Allstar second baseman, Ian Kinsler, and rock-star Jack White of the White Stripes. “Last year I started realizing that it could be a lot bigger if I built a team and actually did sales and marketing.” Kinsler and Jenkins sat down and made a wish list of players that they wanted on board. “The idea was not to go for quantity,” Jenkins said, “but to go for quality. It wasn’t just about who’s good and who’s bad — everyone is good in the major leagues — or who has the biggest stature or biggest personality. We want hard-nosed guys, guys that play hard. There was a rhyme and reason to it. And the idea was to keep it small. Not try to sell bats to everyone in the league.”
In addition to Donaldson and Kinsler, MLB players like Houston Astros outfielder George Springer, Mitch Moreland and Bryan Holaday of the Rangers, current Chicago White Sox and former National League MVP Jimmy Rollins, Jacoby Ellsbury from the New York Yankees, and Chris Davis and J..J. Hardy from the Baltimore Orioles made the hand selected Warstic list. “Being in Major League Baseball is really expensive for us. So it is about utilizing the images and personalities of those guys and building a good relationship with them.” Jenkins does not compensate the players for using Warstic — named for a warrior mentality — but also doesn’t oversell either. “I don’t tell them that the bats are made of unicorn fairy dust,” Jenkins said. But he does promise that when a dozen bats arrive to a player — currently made in the country in Texas — that they are of the highest quality. He hopes to have a manufacturing facility and warehouse soon in Dallas. Today, Warstic is evolving into a company providing other baseball related items like aluminum bats, batting gloves and apparel. With sales growing and a buzz about the bats strengthening — like the bat boy in “The Natural” — it looks like Jenkins has “picked him out a winner.”

MUSICAL REVIEW
Talented ensemble brings Beale Street to Routh Street
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
It’s been decades since America was segregated, but its dark history will continue to loom overhead. The regional premiere of “Memphis, the Musical,” onstage now at Theatre Three (T3) through May 22, takes the audience back to Memphis’ legendary Beale Street to see how intolerance reared its ugly head in the 1950s. All of Beale Street was a stage for rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, rhythm and blues, pop and country music. Fans were crazy about the music, but not always the musicians. They referred to their musical genre as “race music.” The 2010 Best Musical, Tony Award-winning,

The smart “Memphis” story line was written by David Bryan and Joe DePietro. The character of Huey is patterned after a southern boy in Memphis, Dewey “Daddy-O-Dewey” Phillips, who made history when he took to the airwaves on his own nightly show, “Red Hot and Blue,” in which he integrated the music and the audience. From 1949 through 1958, Dewey showcased black and white musicians, influencing wide tolerance and the emergence of national trends in music. In T3’s “Memphis, the Musical,” the awkward, aspiring radio disc jockey, masterfully played by Kyle Igneczi, manipulates his way into a DJ spot on the local WHBQ station, whose call letters he
forgets while on the air. Igneczi is too young to remember the 1960s rock artist Joe Cocker, but he appears to have studied his physicality when preparing for the role of Huey. His clumsiness and generally goofy personality endear him to the audience and to Felicia, his love interest. You can tell the guy is full of heart, while a little off balance. Onstage almost 100 percent of the show, Ignaczi’s body twitching has to be exhausting. His portrayal of Huey has all the earmarks of “award winning.” Ebony Marshall-Oliver as Felicia can best be described as “a little doll.” While this is her T3 debut, her regional credits include “The Color Purple” and “Ain’t Misbehavin.’” Felicia predictably grows from the untrusting little sister of her
overprotective brother, Delray, to Huey’s understanding fan. With Huey’s encouragement and opportunity, she’s able to show off her powerful voice. Of course, she has to fight Delray every step of the way, and he’s ideal as the intolerant big brother. Meanwhile, Marshall-Oliver’s vocals are exceptional, and Tory Padden as costume designer outfitted the petite Felicia in some stunning ’50s style dresses in bright, flattering colors. The controversial relationship that develops between Felicia and Huey in the 1950s throws Delray, played brilliantly by Calvin Roberts, into a rage. Roberts has dozens of credits in theaters all over Dallas, and Casa Mañana in Ft. Worth, and has appeared at T3 in “Meet Vera Stark, “Crazy for You” and the “Drowsy Chaperone.” Production numbers are staged with finesse. It’s hard to imagine what it takes to choreograph a cast of 22 on T3’s cozy stage, but it’s handled brilliantly in this production by choreographer Pam Holcomb-McLain. The ensemble puts every inch of space to good use, while engaging the audience with its energy. In her T3 debut as Huey’s Mama, Kristal Seid is a riot, with her bible-totin’ shame of her son’s sinful life choices. Mikey Abrams, another T3 newbies, is hilarious as radio station owner Mr. Collins, with doubt about Huey at first, and then with excitement over his newfound audience. Many in the cast were making their T3 debuts. If all goes well, it will be the first of many. “Memphis, the Musical” runs through May 22 at Theatre Three, 2800 Routh St. For information and to purchase tickets, visit theatre3dallas.com.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week will offer up many choices, some of which may in fact be quite surprising, while others are expected and routine. The fact is that all decisions will be of greater importance than perhaps at any other time, so none of them should be considered only lightly. Time must be taken to assess the pros and cons of even the most trivial matter, as the course taken may lead one on a journey that offers not only self-discovery but maybe even some risk to the pocketbook or danger to the body and mind. Every choice will be, as the saying goes, a double-edged sword in some respect; the trick, of course, will be in determining which options offer more in the way of gain than detriment. Nearly everything is likely to end in compromise — but anyone who chooses well can have quite a time of it, indeed. Few will be able to look ahead and select the best possible course of action without involving at least one or two family members or friends in the decision-making process. All must listen to those they trust; an alternate perspective, while always of some value, can prove utterly essential in these uncertain times!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) A promise is kept, though another may be broken. What's most important is that you keep things positive between you and a friend. (April 5-April 19) — Decisions you make may affect you for quite some time. Don't start looking back prematurely, however!

It flows seamlessly into the dining area with a peek into the kitchen. I like the fact that the wall between the kitchen and dining area was left intact. So many renovations today are blowing through the entire first level and it’s a nice change of pace to see a proper dining area, because, let’s face it, who really wants to see the food being prepped if you’re having a formal sit-down dinner, or the dirty dishes after? It’s always a treat to see remodeled kitchens in Hollywood Heights. The walnut-topped counter dividing the family area from the kitchen serves double-duty as prep space and a breakfast bar. Danby marble countertops, all-white appliances and cabinetry lend a sleek, contemporary feel, while the farmhouse sink and Chambers gas range bring back that 1920s charm that everyone looks for in Hollywood Heights. It’s all
about balance really, and the sellers have done a terrific job of honoring the original era. The rest of the first floor features a family room, a half bath and a study that can easily be converted to a fourth bedroom. The second level has another large family living space with a beautiful vaulted ceiling. It’s been wired for home theater use as well. The large master suite is on this level, with an enviable master bathroom that continues the nod to the ’20s
with a claw foot tub. There's the much sought after, huge glass-enclosed party shower we all love, his and hers vanities to keep the peace and gorgeous tile work. A walk-in closet, second bedroom, hall bath and laundry finish off the second floor. Rarely do you see a third floor in this neighborhood. This one houses the third bedroom with tree-top views and a private bath. It’s a perfect perch for any kiddo, with great niches and built
in-storage for treasures. The meticulously landscaped backyard has a custom carport, cleverly designed with a large storage room, a sink and toilet, and it can easily double as entertainment space. The yard is poolready, as the owners thoughtfully ran all utilities down the perimeter. The side yard garden off the kitchen is an intimate, tree-shaded, outdoor living and dining space perfect for grilling and entertaining. This home is in the coveted Lakewood Elementary school zone and a block and a half from Lindsley Park and the Santa Fe Trail.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
A rocky ride in the Yucatan
By Sara Newberry Yucatan Taco Stand Tequila Bar & Grill is a small chain with locations in Fort Worth, The Woodlands, Oklahoma, and now Dallas. The Lower Greenville location has a huge patio and a wide selection of tequilas, which is why most people seem to be there. I visited for the food, and while it wasn’t terrible, it’s unlikely I’ll be back to eat. I’m not saying everything I had was bad; not by a long shot. But the dishes I tried didn’t excite me enough to tempt me away from all of the other Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. Food orders are taken at the counter, and there seems to be confusion among the counter staff as to whether chips and salsa are included with entrées or if they need to be ordered separately. On each of our visits, we ordered them and then were asked if we wanted the ones that went Photo by Sara Newberry with our entrées as well (we really just Pork Torta. wanted the one order).

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES
Donald Trump adds pomp to political news coverage
By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net “This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show,” President Obama said hopefully Ed Bark last week. But on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Yahoo News’ national political columnist Matt Bai got closer to the reality of it all by saying, “He is judged by the standards of an entertainer.” And in the entertainment world, reinventions and showmanship go hand in hand. You’ve likely deduced by now that they’re both talking about Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. He keeps vowing to be “more presidential,” but can’t resist changing his issue positions on a moment’s notice while also adding to his arsenal of demeaning nicknames for those trying, and so far failing, to block his path to the White House. It’s been 12 years since NBC launched “The Apprentice” and took “The Donald” to a whole new level of pop culture prominence. He used the word “huge” back then, too, bragging from a limousine in the opening minutes of the premiere episode, “This is a chance to work

for me at a huge salary.” Furthermore, “I own buildings all over the place.” Trump’s network boss at the time was Jeff Zucker, head of NBC Universal’s television empire. He personally recruited and signed Trump to preside like an emperor over “The Apprentice,” where his “You’re fired” tagline more or less swept the nation. They developed a close relationship during the flourishing early seasons of “The Apprentice.” Zucker now runs CNN, which again came in for heavy ridicule at the latest White House Correspondents Dinner after Obama set the table at the 2014 WHCD. “I’m happy to be here,” he said, “even though I’m a little jet-lagged from my trip to Malaysia. The lengths we have to go to get CNN coverage these days.” Those were the days of CNN’s virtually
24/7 “missing Malaysian airliner” coverage, with Zucker at the controls and determined to “own” big stories by drumbeating them nonstop. The theory was that viewers would learn to expect this kind of thing from CNN and respond like moths to a flame. Shortly after taking over CNN in January 2013, Zucker struck first with incessant and often over-the-top coverage of the wounded Carnival Cruise liner Triumph, which had been without power or plumbing for several days. Media critic Brian Stelter, who now works for CNN, wrote at the time in The New York Times: “The coverage had all the hallmarks of Jeff Zucker,” who has “been trying to take advantage of CNN’s news resources as he attempts to revitalize the low-rated channel. The cruise ship story was a no-brainer to him. From a producer’s standpoint, it has high stakes, human drama and a logical beginning, middle and end.” Which brings us directly to Trump, who has been CNN’s Carnival Cruise ship/missing Malaysian airliner of 2016. Trump’s rallies and news conferences repeatedly were covered commercial-free by CNN during the key early stages of his campaign. Trump was unpredictable, entertaining and certainly a well-known “brand.” He also was accessible, phoning CNN

and other networks on an almost daily basis while his Republican opponents were oftentimes unavailable. “He can sit there in his pajamas and call in,” said Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute Sunday on CNN during Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” show. News networks certainly weren’t obliged to take his calls. But CNN wasn’t about to refuse him. And its cable news competitors, led by MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” soon were also playing along. Trump’s compulsive Tweets also are part of his potent “free media” mix. Let him entertain you — but always on his terms. Otherwise it’s “unfair.” The bare-knuckled brawl with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, in addition to Trump’s battles within his own party, are now top-of-the-marquee and certain to stay there until election day. It’s still hard to envision a President Trump come January. But if it happens, his reality show will endure for at least another four years. And yes, it’ll be huge.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘High-Rise’ hits some real lows in cinema viewing
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
Here is an example of how “High-Rise” has the subtlety of a jackhammer: Wilder (played with voracity by Luke Evans) is a documentarian with a Che Guevara poster on his wall who heroically leads a revolution against the bourgeoisie. A filmmaker hasn’t inserted themselves so gleefully into their own film since Charlie Kaufman did so in “Adaptation.” At least that movie was funny. “High-Rise” is a like a bad acid trip when the only album you can listen to is Pink Floyd’s Photos courtesy of StudioCanal “Ummagumma.” Director Ben "High-Rise" is loaded with panache, but lacking in substance. Wheatley and screenwriter Amy Jump have taken all the sociohigh-rise in which the residents live He’s invited to a party hosted by political elements of the J.G. Ballard according to class.

At the party, Laing much harder to grasp. social warfare between the uber-rich meets Wilder’s wife, the very pregWhile it’s never fully explained, above him and the “savages” below. nant Helen (Elisabeth Moss), who “High-Rise” seems to take place in It’s not long before Laing is is annoyed by the fact her husband a dystopian-ish version of the midintroduced to the variety of people chooses copious amounts of cocaine 1970s.

leather volume with the neatly handwritten calligraphy describing each photo. "I knew what it was when he pulled out the book," Mr. Edsel said. "It was a great surprise when we found it." These photos from Germany also have a Dallas connection. One of the men identified in the scrapbook is Richard Howard, director of the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts from 1935 to 1942 and later chief of the MFAA Office of Military Government for Germany. The other donation is a menorah brought to the United States after the war. Dr. Sarah Abosh, senior director of education at the Holocaust Museum, described it as a classic, European seven-branch menorah with decorative scrollwork etching. Determining its age and ancestry will begin by working with a network of museums and collectors of historical Judaism, especially the services of the Association of Holocaust Organizations. "There's a number of these informal ways to try and figure it out," Dr. Abosh said. What is known about the menorah is that it came home with a returning soldier. That soldier gave it to a friend in Kansas,
top floor penthouse of the building’s architect, Royal (Jeremy Irons, forever good at being sleazy high society). For whatever reason, Royal spills his guts about his desire to create a utopian society in his apartment building, complete with all the amenities, such as a grocery and gym, anyone could possibly want. There are no reasons for him to tell Laing these things, and it all seems to happen just so Wheatley can show a horse on the roof of a high- rise. There is some slow burn built into “High-Rise.” When the building has electricity problems, the poorer floors lose power while the rich get to keep their lights on. That and other tensions culminate, oddly enough, during a child’s birthday party and an argument over who gets to use the building’s indoor pool. This leaves a wealthy woman’s dog dead (an all too common thing in “High-Rise”) and from there, it’s all out warfare. Even though he’s muddied the message, Wheatley has created a marvelous film to look at. There is no doubt that he has heavily cribbed from Kubrick here, particularly with color palettes and painfully long and
and he passed it on to a lady that contacted the Monuments Men Foundation seeking a proper home for it. The scrapbook and menorah are being kept in the museum's archive awaiting construction of a new facility. The museum has outgrown its current Record Street address and a new home for the collection is still in the planning stages. Both the museum and the foundation continue to seek any items that will help illustrate the experience of the war and the Holocaust to future generations. Bringing these relics to new, safe homes helps restore some of the dignity and beauty they held for their original owners before they were stolen. "It really is a happy end to an incredibly sad story," Mr. Edsel said. The scrapbook and menorah are examples of such lost and orphaned objects that have found a new home. Dr. Abosh hopes the museum will become a home for many more small pieces of history that returned from the war and the Holocaust. "Anything from that period matters," she said. "It matters considerably."

stressful camera pans. A dream sequence with Hiddleston dancing in slow motion with what appear to be flight attendants is inspired and easily the highlight of the entire movie. Even though he is almost overshadowed by an exceptional Evans, Hiddleston plays Laing with the perfect amount of disaffection. He seems at place with the upper crust snobs, standing and delivering eloquent soliloquies over wine, and also at home while dancing to psychedelic rock with the heathens below. Hiddleston’s charisma and charm go a long way here and it makes “High-Rise” a less difficult poison pill to swallow. “High-Rise” is loaded with style and panache, but the lack of substance makes the exceptionally violent second half a slog to watch. As horrendous acts occur to everyone, regardless of social strata, Laing hides away in his apartment and cowardly waits to see who’s going to win this game of barbarianism. Maybe instead of doing nothing, he could have helped out some of the innocent victims? At the very least, he could have stood up, packed up his things, and, you know, just moved to a new apartment.
THEATRE cont'd from page 1 Steve, who prefers to be called “Beau” (as in a Southern gentleman, Bouregard), while inseparable from his Rebel cap, is busy with his own agenda finding out about his great-grandfather’s experience in the Civil War. Beau/Steve is played sympathetically by Swearingen, who’s stuck between his passion for the war’s history and lack of passion, where his wife is concerned. A multiple award winning DuBord has CTD credits including “Steel Magnolias,” “Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly away Home” and “Catholic School Girls,” among other area theaters. Swearingen has been seen at Shakespeare Dallas Kitchen Dog Theatre and others, and has television credits for ABC’s “American Crime” and NBC’s “Revolution.” The couple could have never imagined that standing on the roads and bridges where “Beau’s” ancestor had fought in the war they would come to a reconciliation of their marriage. “The Road to Appomattox” continues through May 22 at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas, 5601 Sears St. For information and ticket sales, visit contemporarytheatreofdallas.com.
