The Black Monk

My Dallas social secretary, John Arnone, got me and the Executive on the project tickets to his scenic designed production of The Black Monk at the Undermain Theatre in Dallas.

The show is based on a Chekhov short story. The first act is quite funny. The direction and acting is great. John's set is perfectly stark and evocative. It is a difficult space to use to put it mildly. The theatre is named "Undermain" because it is actually under Main Street in downtown Dallas.

Undermain Theatre is in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of downtown Dallas. It is a kind of sketchy area...the kind of place where artists are making it grow.
