Marie Antoinette
June 1-26
Amphibian Stage Productions
In David Adjmi’s contemporary take on the young queen of France, Marie is a confection created by a society that values extravagance and artifice. But France’s love affair with the royals sours as revolution brews, and for Marie, the political suddenly becomes very personal.

Midsummer Mingle: Fire and Ice
June 16
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Carter Society members invite you to enjoy an evening of fire and ice! Join us at the Museum for craft cocktails and light bites, plus chat with artist Justin Ginsberg about his site-specific installation. Inspired in part by Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass: American Artists and the Magic of Murano, Ginsberg will work with a glass kiln on the Museum’s lawn throughout the summer. He will pull 30-foot-long glass threads and install them in the Carter’s Main Gallery. The result will be a stunning large-scale glass “waterfall” sculpture. Cap off the evening with a toast to summer!
