Toy Story – Live in Concert is the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s presentation of Disney’s latest live-to-picture concert event – featuring the classic film accompanied by a live performance of Randy Newman’s beloved score.

42nd Street is a musical that celebrates Broadway, Times Square and 1930s-era showbiz. Aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city and lands a plum gig in a Broadway show. Various complications ensue, but the real star of the show is its score, which is chock-full of Broadway standards. See the opening night of Garland Summer Musicals’ 2022 season at the Granville Arts Center, right next to the Blue Line’s Downtown Garland Station.

Starring Tony Award-winning poet and performance artist, Lemon Andersen, his work-in-progress is inspired by the monologues of Spalding Gray, but with a strongly Latinx perspective.

The festival takes place at the Latino Cultural Center, just a couple of blocks from Deep Ellum Station on the Green Line.
