Like a still life, the bounty of talent within the performing arts retained their beauty but laid in waiting, bursting with readiness that only the pandemic deterred. In this issue, we applaud the full release of North Texas arts organizations mounting varied performances of all disciplines across our stages. Lee Cullum investigates ten of these in Ring Up The Curtain, a sequel to the story she wrote amid the predominance of stage lockdown one year ago. From the small and bold theatres like Undermain Theatre and Theatre Three to full symphonic performances at the Dallas Symphony and Fort Worth Symphony replete with brass, and operas within sight at The Dallas Opera, we are so glad to be back in the audience.
Fort Worth’s Abraham Alexander weathered the COVID-storm too.
