In this timely film, director Olivier Assayas traces the rise and fall of the fictional Vadim Baranov (Paul Dano), a former theater and TV director who becomes Vladimir Putin\u2019s (Jude Law) right-hand man. Amid the post-Soviet chaos and the turbulent start of the Russian federation, Baranov blurs truth and lies, helping the modern tsar shape Russia into the 21st century\u2019s emblematic autocracy. The film will screen five times through Sunday at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Main Street Fest is a family-friendly festival where visitors can enjoy food, shopping, a KidZone, live music, a carnival and midway, Grapevine Art Project Market, and more.

Orlando Jones has gone from a brilliant joke writer to a chaos-powered storyteller with receipts. He started out writing for comedic icons like Martin Lawrence, Sinbad, Jay Leno, Colin Quinn, and Ben Stiller. A founding writer and original cast member of MADtv, Jones blends storytelling, razor-sharp political and cultural commentary, and the kind of jokes you think about three days later and start laughing in public like a lunatic. He’ll perform four times through Saturday at Improv Arlington.<\/p>\n
New York comedian Nore Davis has released three comedy albums, most recently Too Woke; filmed his first Comedy Central Half Hour Special; was featured on the final season of hit HBO show 2 Dope Queens; released his first comedy special, You Guys Are Dope, on Amazon Prime; was a recurring host for Marvel\u2019s digital series Let\u2019s Play; and was featured in season two of Comedy Central\u2019s Thank You, Goodnight. He’ll perform on Friday and Saturday at Amphibian Stage.<\/p>\n
In Swan Lake, love and fate collide in a tale of enchantment and betrayal.

With opulent sets and newly refurbished costumes, the production promises a journey into one of the most widely acclaimed classical ballets. There will be four performances through Sunday at Bass Performance Hall.<\/p>\n
Country group Diamond Rio had an enviable start to their career in 1991, going to No. 1 with their very first single, “Meet in the Middle.” They’ve had four other No. 1 hits in their career, as well as 14 other top 10 hits, although none since 2002. While they haven’t released an album since 2015’s I Made It, they’re sure to put on another entertaining concert at Billy Bob’s Texas.<\/p>\n
Olivier Award winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in The Fifth Step, a subversively funny new play by David Ireland. After years in the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories, and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. The screening of the London production takes place at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>It’s been a very long goodbye for the classic rock band Eagles, who have been on their The Long Goodbye tour since 2023. But this stop at Globe Life Field in Arlington is scheduled to be officially \u2014 truly! \u2014 the last ever tour date for a band that’s been existence since 1971 (they do have a six-show residency planned for The Sphere in Las Vegas later in 2026, though). If you’re a fan, it will be your final chance to hear songs like “Hotel California,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Heartache Tonight,” and more sung live by Don Henley and his bandmates.<\/p>\n
