Produced by Audacity Theatre Lab, the Dallas Solo Fest made its debut in Dallas, Texas in 2014  with eight distinct and dynamic one-person productions.

Featuring an eclectic mix of solo artists, the 2015 Dallas Solo Fest’s 8-day schedule over two weekends offers a wide range of shows —from raw and hard-hitting to hilariously outrageous—in a variety of genres and styles. See some of the best local/regional solo artists as well as outstanding performers from around the country.

Every show runs roughly an hour and tickets are priced at an affordable $12. All performances are at Fair Park's Margo Jones Theatre at the Magnolia Lounge, with free well-lit parking, access to the DART Rail, and a BYOB policy at the venue.

The mission of the Dallas Solo Fest is to celebrate extraordinary solo theatre as well as increase awareness and appreciation for the form in the north Texas area.

The Other Half Theatre Experience revives its critically acclaimed and long running production. Robert Rain stars from February – March of 2015!

Written by John Cameron Mitchell and music by Steven Trask, the musical is currently playing on Broadway starring Neil Patrick Harris. The Other Half Theatre Experience ran the production for an open-ended run in Fort Worth, TX in 2004 and 2005. This groundbreaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation. 

It tells the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just “an angry inch.” This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch.” Using songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story, which began in the former East Berlin where as Hansel he meets Luther, an American GI who promises to take the young man to the States on the condition that he switch his sex. After the bungled operation, Luther abandons newly named Hedwig in a Kansas trailer park where she turns to music and meets geeky Tommy Speck, whom she takes under her wing and soon falls for. Tommy steals her songs, achieves rock star fame, and Hedwig is once again cast aside. She decides to demand redress and stalks Tommy’s world tour, performing in the T.G.I. Friday’s that are situated next door to his stadiums. Hedwig describes her life’s search for “The Origin of Love” and her other half. 

It’s a rocking ride, funny, touching and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

Audacity Theatre Lab presents
CHOP by Brad Mcentire

After years of traveling to venues and festivals around the country Dallas-based playwright/performer Brad McEntire presents his solo show CHOP for a full run in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area January 29 through February 7, 2015 at the Margo Jones Theatre in Fair Park.

CHOP concerns a man totally isolated from the world around him. A chance meeting with a mysterious tattooed woman leads him to the place he might truly belong… an underground amputation fetish group.

After readings in Seattle (at the Outsider’s Inn Collective) and New York City (Cry Havoc Theatre) McEntire premiered CHOP at the 2010 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival at Addison’s Water Tower Theatre. Since then he has toured and performed the show at multiple venues and festivals, including the Phoenix Fringe Festival, the New Orleans Fringe, Houston Fringe, Portland Mini-Fringe, College of Santa Fe and San Antonio’s Overtime Theatre, 2012 New York international Fringe Festival, Seattle Fringe and New Orleans SoloMania Fest among others. The piece played a two day limited engagement at the Margo Jones Theatre in July 2012.

McEntire is delighted to bring the show back to Dallas for a full two week run.

The piece was directed and sound designed by Andrew J. Merkel of Brooklyn, NY. Brad McEntire wrote, designed and performs the piece.

Brad McEntire is the founding Artistic Director of the small theatre collective Audacity Theatre Lab. He is a playwright, performer, improviser, director and visual artist. He is the creator/producer of the Dallas Solo Fest. More information about his activities can be viewed at: www.BradMcEntire.com

Plays January 29 – February 7 (Tuesday thru Saturday) at 8:00 PM.
