by Shawn Parikh

Labyrinth Theatre's fourth season is continuing this week with the opening of Rocket Man. The show runs from February 7 – March 1, with performances on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 3:00 p.m. Call 972-231-1012 for tickets or purchase online.

Their 4th season is aimed at thought-provoking theatre with a dealing with perspectives. Rocket Man by Stephen Dietz, is a serious comedy about the road not taken. Donny Rowan has placed everything he owns on his lawn, along with a sign that reads: "Here's My Life. Make An Offer." He cuts a skylight in his attic and sits there in his reclining chair, staring at the stars. Somewhere in the universe, Donny believes, is a place where all the roads we never chose converge. It explores one man's obsessive desire to find this "parallel world" and the profound effect of his decision on his family and friends.

And if you are still searching for something to do on Valentine's Day, the theater company is offering a special dinner & a show combo at 6:00 p.m. on February 14 for $60.
