Review: THE AFRICAN COMPANY PRESENTS RICHARD III at Soul Rep Theatre
by Sam Lisman - Feb 4, 2025
A year or so ago, two DFW theaters in neighboring cities both performed the same play, on the same days, at the same times. If you were willing to pay to use the Tollway, and depending on traffic, they were about ten minutes aways from each other. I chock that up to bad timing and poor coordination (although local theater directors tell me that the vast majority of their audiences are exclusive – they don’t go to other theaters – so these kinds of scheduling issues aren’t a big deal), and both groups handled it well (at least publicly).

Pablo Cruise Comes to Spencer Friday, June 28
by A.A. Cristi - Jun 21, 2019
]When the pop-rock band Pablo Cruise performs at the Spencer Theater on Friday, June 28 at 8 p.m., fans will hear favorites like "Whatcha Gonna Do?," "Love Will Find a Way," "I Want You Tonight," "Cool Love" and "Place in the Sun."Those songs were all chart-topping hits in the 1970s, an era in which Pablo Cruise released eight albums and ruled the airwaves. Known for their catchy rhythms, lyrics and extended, virtuoso riffs on keyboard, guitar and percussion, the band traveled the world in concert, succeeding in their groovin' and cruisin' slant towards life - an approach which explains why they selected the name "Pablo Cruise" for their group in the first place (Pablo being a common, down-to-earth guy's name and Cruise being what it is).

Set in 1821 New York, the play focuses on actual historical events where a small African-American theater company produced their production of Shakespeare's Richard III on the exact same night the famous Park Theatre owned by Daniel Price opened their production featuring English actor Julius Booth as the deformed king.
