Theatre Wesleyan Premieres New Work Everton, who also took on the roles of editor, arranger, and writer of additional material notes, “The material presented in this show may be a bit familiar but also very new, and people will be exposed to a side of Franklin we rarely get to see. Benjamin Franklin was a very honorable man, but he loved scandal, and delighted in other people’s scandal and then wrote about it. This is what we see every day on the television.” And there is no doubt that today’s audiences will enjoy Franklin’s thoughts on gold-digging women, relationships, politics, and the science of farting. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. March 1-3, and at 2 p.m. March 4 in the Thad Smotherman Theatre on the Texas Wesleyan campus. Ticket prices are $2 for students, $4 for Wesleyan faculty and staff, and $6 general admission. Tickets can be reserved by calling (817) 531-4211 or email bhargrove@txwes.edu. For more information about the production, contact Beth Hargrove, assistant production manager, at (817) 531-5867 or bhargrove@txwes.edu. |

The Butterfly Connection, a Fort Worth arts collaboration, recently produced My Brother and Sister with Wings at the Rose Marine Theatre. Kate McDougall, coordinator of admissions services, starred as Madeleine and oversaw set and video design, and Chelsea Rhodes, admissions secretary, was the stage manager. My Brother and Sister with Wings, written by Rob Bosquez and directed by Adam Justin Dietrich, explored the story of two children in the early 20th centruy struggling to accept their deformity: they have wings. After surviving an abusive upbringing in countless carnivals across Europe, these two monsters are stolen away by their older sister, Madeleine, and immigrate to America. What will we do to be accepted, and what will we sacrifice to be exceptional?
