	2008-2009 Season
	Our 2008-2009 season is sponsored by the generosity of the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, American Airlines and The Dallas Weekly Leonard’s Car [when the rainbow is NOT enuf] by Isabella Russell-Ides October 9 - 25 Directed by Terri Ferguson This sparkling award-winning play by Dallas playwright, Isabella Russell-Ides features an exuberant over-the-top artist, Josey Jeauxcarré — the reckless driver at the play's center. Her heady flirtation with suicide puts her on a collision course with memory and two grown daughters, Skylark and Ruby Tuesday who remember differently. Powerful offstage characters, in particular Josey’s dead lover Leonard, exert their own gravitational pull. Will Josey restore Leonard's 1955 T-bird and drive into the big blue nowhere á la ''Thelma and Louise''? An exciting new cast promises unforgettable powerhouse performances. Michelle René [Josey Jeauxcarré], Octavia Y. Thomas [Skylark] and Ashley Wilkerson [Ruby Tuesday].  Bishop Arts Theater Center 215 South Tyler Street General Admission Seating, 8PM Nightly All Seats $15 in advance, $20 at the door (plus service fee) (Thursday, Friday & Saturday performances only) Call the box office at 214-948-0716 for more information All sales final.  No refunds or exchanges.   Black Nativity by Langston Hughes featuring New Arts Six December 4 - 20 Directed by H.
