Using Lewis’ own words, the immersive, multimedia evening of theater features award-winning actor Max McLean. Discover the mind and hear of the Screwtape Letters author through Oct. 23 at the Eisemann Center. That’s just across the plaza from the Red Line’s Galatyn Park Station.

Dallas International Film FestivalThe 16th Dallas International Film Festival screens more than 80 films over the course of nearly a week. Highlights include Armageddon Time, starring Anthony Hopkins and Anne Hathaway, and Hargrove, a documentary produced by Erykah Badu about the great jazz trumpeter (and fellow Booker T. Washington alum) Roy Hargrove. The main venue is Alamo Drafthouse Cedars, walkable from the Red Line’s Cedars Station. Other screening locations include the Meyerson Symphony Center and Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts; they’re both walkable from Pearl/Arts District Station on all four DART lines.

Stone Cold Murder is a suspenseful play about newlyweds who have bought a small hotel in the English Lake District.

See the performance through Oct. 29 at the Cox Playhouse, just across Haggard Park from Downtown Plano Station on the Red Line.
