Push da button! ‘Color Purple’
returns to Fair Park
The movie made Oprah Winfrey a star, but the
stage musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel
The Color Purple, about a beset-upon black
woman making her way in the segregated South of
the early 20th century — including coming to terms
with her own sexuality — stands up in its own right.
The national tour of the recent revival settles into

In a few weeks, the Dallas Theater
Center will debut its new take on a 19th century
classic of Gothic literature with Frankenstein, but
if you want to whet your Victorian appetite, try a
taste of Theatre 3’s new version of Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde. One unique conceit of this version:
While Jekyll is played by a single actor (Michael
Federico), four actors play various identities of Mr.
Hyde in this frightening psychological portrait of
depravity.
DEETS: Theatre 3, 2900 Routh St. in the
