“Finishing School,” starring Gordon Fox and John Davies runs Friday-Saturday at the Bath House
This Friday, the Dallas Police Department will host a daylong cookout fundraiser to benefit a 30-year-old officer who was shot in the line of duty. Officer Joshua Burns was recently shot multiple times after responding to an emergency call at an apartment complex at Walnut Street and Audelia near Richland College. Later that same day suspect Rakeem Perkins turned himself in to Dallas homicide detectives. He remains incarcerated facing first-degree felony charges. The al fresco fundraiser/cookout/BBQ runs 10:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. at the police station located at 9915 E. Northwest Highway (at Audelia). To make donations, volunteer or for further information, contact Gaston at Mitchell.gaston@dpd.ci.dallas.tx.us.
On either Friday or Saturday at 1:30 p.m. visit the Bath House Cultural Center to see One Thirty Productions’ two-part comedy, “Finishing School,” presented by Dallas playwright Elaine Liner. New guy Al is the ‘’freshman’’ and Wizzer is the wiser senior in this production that compares assisted living to high school. Laugh at late-in-life lessons about fitting in, flirting and finding new reasons to live it up. Starring Gordon Fox and John Davies. Cost is $10-$15; Call 214.532.1709 for advance reservations.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, perhaps Dallas’ most beloved holiday for communal revelry, this Saturday at the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day parade and party from 11 a.m.-noon. Not in the mood for a parade? Join a speedier parade of runners racing the 5-kilometer Dash Down Lower Greenville.
