Dallas struggles with its identity. If the three big cities of Texas were familial stereotypes, Dallas would be the middle child, stuck between its classy older sibling, Houston, and the cool, do-no-wrong youngest sibling, Austin.
Justin Locklear is currently appearing in Mike Bartlett's COCK at Second Thought Theatre in Dallas through Feb. 22. A graduate of Baylor University with a BFA in Theater Performance, Locklear's recent regional credits include Dreams of Slaughtered Sheep and Best Seat In Town with the Ochre House Theater, and T.N.B. With the Dead White Zombies.
The sheer amount of theater in Dallas can be overwhelming. To make this list, I found myself re-reading reviews and poring through notes about the hundreds of shows performed in 2013 alone.
