Interview with Brad McEnitre, Artistic Director of Audacity Theatre Lab

Audacity Productions had a nice run from 1999-2006 until Artistic Director Brad McEntire left for Hong Kong. Now that he is back, he has revamped the theater company, calling it Audacity Theatre Lab, and is directing the first show of their season, The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard.

We start off by talking about how Audacity was originally formed and what their mission was in the metroplex.

The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard

When: Thursday, May 8, 2008, 8:15 p.m.
Where: Risk Theatre Initiative, 3603 Ross Avenue, Dallas
Cost: $10 - $15
Age limit: Not available

Full event details

I ask him about "the comeback" of the theater company and what he hopes to accomplish with it now. I also ask what niche he sees Audacity filling in the DFW theater community.

He talks about choosing The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard as the first show of their season and how it came together. I ask him what he ultimately wants the audience to get out of the show.

We end by discussing the future of the theater company, what shows they have planned (including one with dildos), and what venues they will use in the future.

The show runs until May 17 and you can call 214-621-9683 to make ticket reservations.

Friday Night Films with AFI Dallas "If you build it, they will come" ... could've described Ray Nasher's vision for NorthPark and his sculpture center, or Lenier Temerlin and Michael Caine's desire to start a local AFI festival. The two team up for an all-American screening of Field of Dreams in the Dallas Arts District. Or there's always fireworks. More info
