They’re back! Dallas’ beloved and critically-applauded Ochre House Theatre returns to live productions after a year of presenting only virtual shows during the pandemic. “Cursed!” is their season opening musical, and is written and directed by Artistic Director Matthew Posey in a collaboration with Dallas Flamenco Festival. The performances are scheduled July 22-Aug. 1 on the outdoor stage at Deep Ellum Art Company.
An art gallery and live music venue, the Deep Ellum Art Company at 3200 Commerce Street offers a 15,000 feet Art Yard, the biggest backyard in the area. They also feature food trucks and a large drink selection. Founders John and Kari LaRue created the Art Co. to preserve the artistic vibe that makes Deep Ellum unique.
