A small city’s calendar fills itself in week by week. This one brings the closing weekend of the Duncanville Community Theatre’s 2025–26 season, a Spring Musical Revue on Main Street; the first Tuesday meeting of The Brush Club at the Public Library, where Estefany teaches brush technique, color, and composition to two age groups in succession; and an August booking just announced at the Fieldhouse, where Tony L. Grant of The Temptations will appear in a new stageplay. Tell us what you would like to see next on the wish list.
