Give ‘Twin Peaks’ actor Harry Goaz a camera and here’s what happens
“Ballroom Harry: Volume II” is a collaboration with his friend from Dallas, Jason Reimer

No one knows a person better than their closest friends. And so it is with Harry Goaz, an actor whose personality and the characters he plays are known for being esoteric and eccentric, engaging and entertaining, all in the same flash of sizzle and pizazz.
Goaz’s closest friend, sadly, is no longer with us. Emmy-nominated screenwriter Bettina Gilois died of cancer in 2020, four days shy of her 59th birthday. Before she passed, Gilois wrote movingly in an essay found in the back of Goaz’s new book of photographs, published by Deep Vellum Books of Dallas.

The Texas Theatre s auditorium has been empty through most of the pandemic, but the theater s owners are betting that hard-to-find-films, live events, and the construction of a second screening room will bring about a more engaging and profitable future.
The nearly 90-year-old Texas Theatre is expanding. A plan to add a new auditorium kicked off this month, and the theater’s owners are preparing for more guests, live events and screenings than ever before.
Since its reopening in 2010, the Texas Theatre has become an essential venue in Dallas for film, music, and community events. Those sorts of gatherings have obviously stopped during the pandemic. But, despite the disruption, the Texas Theatre is expanding.
