In case you're one of those dedicated highbrows who reads only this blog at the expense of everything on our website (or in the paper), you might have missed my colleague Mario Tarradell's great interview with popstar Duncan Sheik, who also happens to have written the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening. He's in the area (McKinney, Fort Worth) this week to do a couple of intimate concerts.

Here's a strange coincidence: Spring Awakening musical direct Kimberly Grigsby was also in town this week -- announcing the recipients of the $1 million in arts grants TACA handed out Monday night. An SMU alum, she has been back in Texas an awful lot lately. She's a good friend of Dallas Theater Center artistic director Kevin Moriarty. I know DTC is planning some big extravaganzas for its first season in its new home, the Wyly Theatre in the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, beginning in October. Is it just a delightfully paranoid fantasy of mine, or are all these comings and goings portents of something big to come?
