Seussical, Jr: Kid Thespians Keep the Seuss Name Alive
“After all of those years being stuck on a page,” says the Cat and the Hat, “did you ever imagine you’d see me on stage?”

Pavlov is Doggone Hilarious in Dallas
Who is “Pavlov?” To the psychology community (or anyone who took a basic psych course in college), Pavlov is the father of classic conditioning, whose experiments with salivating dogs earned him the Nobel Prize at the turn of the century. But to the Dallas-Fort Worth comedy scene, the name refers to four hilarious men who [...]
The New ‘Tom Green Show’: Tom Green’s Return to Standup
Any Gen Y-er who watched television in the 90s remembers Tom Green, the obnoxious yet hilarious Canadian darling of MTV who defined TV pranking and gross-out humor.

Hollywood Forever: Where the Immortal Go to Die
Adjacent to Paramount studios in the heart of Hollywood, L.A.’s Hollywood Forever Cemetery is best known as the place where some of Hollywood’s brightest stars are interred. But locals also know it as one of the area’s oldest and best-loved places to celebrate L.A. culture.
The historic burial ground was built in 1899 on 100 acres [...]
Pocket Sandwich: The Most Fun You Can Have in a Dallas Theater
It’s rare a venue that allows patrons to throw food at the performers, let alone encourages it. Dallas’ Pocket Sandwich Theatre does both, supplying each theater-goer with a tray of popcorn prior to each performance, and urging them to hurl handfuls at the stage –and at each other– as the show begins. Impromptu popcorn fights [...]
