Timed to coincide with Mayor Mike Rawlings’ annual Homeless Week, KEEP DALLAS WARM is a community-based initiative aimed at providing gently worn coats and clothing to every homeless and underprivileged person in our city.
The idea began two years ago, when Dallasite Jim Silcock came up with a plan to donate $10,000 worth of coats to Dallas’ homeless men, women and children. By reaching out to shelter and homeless advocates at Community Crossroads, The Stewpot and The Bridge, Silcock calculated that a mere 1,800 coats would help every homeless person in Dallas to have a warmer winter. An estimated 3,600 coats and clothing items would meet the needs of the underprivileged and impoverished.
Silcock has worked closely with Wes Goyer, owner of St. Bernard Sports, who generously donated outerwear items for the effort.
Together the men are joining with Robbie Briggs, CEO of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty,
to launch a citywide KEEP DALLAS WARM campaign November 14-21.
“In the week leading up to Thanksgiving, we are inviting our families, friends and fellow
community members to reach out to neighbors who need help with the basic necessities of life,” said
Briggs. “We’ve been blessed with so much in this great city, and I know that many people want to assist those
in need, but maybe don’t know how to reach out. KEEP DALLAS WARM is a great way to help someone facing a cold winter and no place to call home.”
St. Bernard Sports will give a $30 gift card and raffle ticket for every gently-worn winter coat that
is dropped off at its store at Inwood Village. “That means if you bring in 10 coats, we’ll give you
$300 to spend and 10 chances at great store prizes,” said Wes Goyer. The gift card can
be used for clothing, outerwear, sporting goods, watches, ski gear and more. “And, most important, you’ll know you’ve helped a person in our community stay warm in the face of a cold Dallas winter.”
KEEP DALLAS WARM Week:November 14-21
Drop off a gently worn winter coat* at St. Bernard Sports located in Inwood Village and enjoy weeklong warm events including daily raffles and giveaways, demonstrations of ski gear, clothing and equipment and food trucks and beverages. Showcasing all the best of ski for 2013, a Sotheby’s International Realty ski desk will highlight great properties around the world to buy or rent.
*Please note that our community partners will also be pleased to receive and distribute donations of non-qualifying items such as rain jackets, windbreakers and sweaters.

It’s a well-known fact that bears repeating. Together, WE make a community. From schools and hospitals to neighborhoods and the people we care for in our homes and city, Dallas is one giant community sharing a common goal – to improve life for ourselves and our neighbors seen and unseen.
With this 60-page insert, which is our biggest yet in Papercity, we’d like to show how our community continues to create, build and discover throughout the Metroplex.
Working together we CREATE a place that is rich in art, theater, opportunities and excitement. In the following pages you’ll meet my good friend Max McLean, founder of the Fellowship for Performing Arts, who will be in Dallas soon with his outstanding two-person play “The Screwtape Letters.” While he’s in town, Max also will be part of a fundraiser and lecture on Thursday, November 8, at the Cambridge School of Dallas. I can’t wait to see what fun he’ll stir up there. And look out, New York! Dallas will be sending a bit of Texas swagger to the Public Theater when it launches “Giant,” the musical created and produced right here at the DTC.
In Dallas we also BUILD tremendous enrichments born out of vision and hard work. Read about the debut of the new Klyde Warren Park that will connect Downtown and Uptown and introduce a vibrant new playground that came, quite literally, out of thin air. On the same page you’ll also get a sneak peak at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which came about from the successful collaboration of three Dallas entities – The Science Place, the Dallas Children’s Museum and the Museum of Natural History.
Here we also DISCOVER innovative ways to reshape our world. You’ll read about Westlake Academy, which has been ranked one of the best public schools in America because it teaches children to think from a global perspective. You’ll also get to meet Edible Schoolyards founder Alice Waters, who has taken the farm-to-table movement from a dirt patch in Berkley, California, right to the backyard of the White House.
Together we are a METROPLEX of people and ideas that, with extraordinary effort and a positive attitude, can go a long way toward improving the circumstances of those in need. It’s this spirit of community that has inspired us to partner with St. Bernard Sports for a new initiative called Keep Dallas Warm, which you can read more about below.
Because community starts at home, we’ve also included fun snapshots that show many of our 180-plus agents baking cookies with their kids, enjoying great books, heading out for a run on the Katy Trail and more. It’s a way to let you know that our agents are part of the community supporting neighborhoods, schools and families that encompass the Metroplex.
The weather is cooling a bit, and it’s the perfect time to connect with friends and family. We look forward to seeing you out there in the community.

Giant From Dallas to New YorkIf theater is a national conversation, it’s Dallas’ turn to step
up and take the microphone.
Home-grown and honed to perfection, the musical “Giant” debuted earlier this year at the Dallas Theater Center, where it received enthusiastic reviews and set attendance records at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre. The play, complete with several original cast members, including Kate Baldwin as strong-willed Leslie Benedict, will be planting its spurs in New York City at the famed
The Public Theater. Playing from October 26 - December 2, the run is
a hopeful first step before making the big leap to Broadway and national tours.
Dallas has captured the attention of theater industry scouts who are mining regional theaters
for original works to bring to New York. Last year the DTC musical “Lysistrata Jones” was
reworked and renamed “Give It Up!”. The production also moved from Dallas to New York where it earned great reviews and enthusiastic crowds at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
“Right now there are a lot of people in the theater world who are sitting up and taking notice of the arts community in Dallas. We’re originating and producing work that is being noticed on a national
scale, and that is a very exciting place to be,” says Kevin Moriarty, artistic director at DTC.
With a book by Sybille Pearson (the Tony-nominated author of “Baby”), music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa (the five-time Tony-nominated composer of “Hello Again”) and direction by Michael Greif (the three-time Tony-nominated director of “Rent”), “Giant’s” New York performances will feature a Texas-size production with a company of 22 actors and a 17-piece orchestra.
All that’s missing is 100,000 head of cattle and the blistering West Texas heat.
“Giant” tickets are available online at www.publictheater.org and by phone at 212-967-7555.

Before heading to New York, Giant debuted it’s epic Texas swagger at Dallas’ Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre.
“Theater is much more than entertainment. It’s a conversation about ideas, people, culture and all the other details that make us who we are,” said Max McLean, a nationally recognized stage actor who is the founder and president of the Fellowship for the Performing Arts. “The conversation can be difficult at times, but that’s where theater can utilize devices like humor and irony to reach people in a deep way.”
In his two-person play “The Screwtape Letters,” which will make its third appearance in Dallas at The Majestic Theatre on November 3rd and 10th, this former seminarian uses the fertile ground of moral ambiguity to showcase a devilish sense of humor — all to create a topsy-turvy world where right seems wrong and wrong looks pretty tempting.
“When C.S. Lewis originally wrote The Screwtape Letters, he did it as a devotion in reverse,” said McLean. “It has some of the best examples of reverse psychology in literature. The challenge was to carve it out of the book and put it on stage in a way that made audiences think about their own lives and experiences.”
Since it was first published in 1942, The Screwtape Letters has been recognized as a literary mirror through which readers could peek into their own human foibles and failings. In this production, His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape and his creature sidekick, Toadpipe, use moral twists and turns to lure an unseen Patient away from The Enemy. Screwtape puts forth such an irresistible sales pitch that the words “the Devil made me do it” never sounded so true.
McLean is on a mission to create and stage theatrical productions that portray a Christian world-view while engaging diverse audiences. And he takes the “conversation” aspect of theater to heart with post-performance audience discussions that encourage a unique sharing of ideas and ideology from people of all backgrounds and beliefs. “I get to hear everything from deep theological discussion to the most popular question, ‘How do you learn all those lines,’” he said. “About 75 percent of the audience stays afterward to participate in the discussion.”
McLean is no stranger to Dallas audiences. He first appeared at the Dallas Theater Center in 1998 in the FPA
production “Genesis,” then on multiple visits as Screwtape. He sees the exchange of original works between Dallas and New York as a natural evolution of the artistic process. “When you create something you want to share it. New York has always been seen as the originator and exporter of theater,” he said. “But not anymore. Regional theaters like DTC are creating amazing works that are moving to New York and around the world. It’s like a message that goes back and forth engaging audiences and showing support for great theater everywhere.”

Dallas artist David Hickman speaks to the world with movement.
Walking through his garden at the White Rock Lake home he shares with his wife, Linda, you can see each colorful piece of skyscraping artwork he created by hand has the graceful function of mobility. Tall � gures of parrots, hummingbirds, � sh and a Cajun band stretch across the grounds amid plants and poised, stone sculptures.
“It’s very exciting because every day is totally di� erent,” Linda Hickman said. “It’s pretty amazing to see how he starts something — to watch how he thinks of something, quietly muses over it — and how it turns out.”
As a young man working on the farm in his childhood home of Gainesville, Texas, Mr. Hickman became inspired by how things were set in motion — the gears of a tractor, the movement of windmills, the trains passing over tracks and the planes that � ew overhead. He learned to weld as a necessary part of his farm work and he said his tough work ethic stems from his days working the land. � e result is a willingness to see opportunities for artistic expression in everything.
“I’m not afraid to do anything — mosaic, stone, wood-making. I like variety,” he said.
Mr. Hickman’s history is just as varied, going from simple doodling during his school days, to serving in the U.S. Navy, to attending Cooke County Junior College and the University of Texas in Arlington, and studying sculpture with Octavio Medellin. He even owned a motorcycle shop, which increased his fascination with kinetic energy. His last career before transitioning into a full-time artist was working as a mechanical designer for Johnson & Johnson.
“� ere was just something in me,” Mr. Hickman said about leaving his day job to become an artist. “Other people and friends said I should do art all the time instead of designing machinery. I became more satis� ed building things with my own hands for my own purpose.”
Mr. Hickman uses those hands from start to � nish as he creates small models and sketches of a project to pitch for commissions. He is currently working on concepts for the mass communications department at Texas Tech University, a baptismal font for Suncreek United Methodist Church in Allen and pieces for the State Fair of Texas.
“Other artists may design something small and turn it over to someone else to build, but that’s not much fun for me,” he said. “I like to create an idea and build it myself. I get real satisfaction conceiving an idea, presenting it and having it be accepted.”

Come One! Come All!Hands down, it’s the biggest show in
town, and every year people come from all 50 states and around the world to hear the big guy in the red, white and blue shirt bellow “Welcome to the State Fair of Texas.”
This year the Fair, which runs from September 28-October 21, features attractions like “Leading the Way” a salute to the Girls Scouts of America as they celebrate their 100 year anniversary and the “Chinese Lantern Festival” that will light up the evening sky and feature
a 300 foot animated dragon.
But let’s face it. People really come to the Fair for the food, and the 2012 menu will not disappoint. Along with the much-anticipated corny dogs and funnel cakes, fairgoers can fill up on Deep Fried Jambalaya and Fried Bacon Cinnamon Rolls. And on October 1, they can witness a world record being set when the largest Fritos Chili Pie is assembled right in front of Big Tex, celebrating the 80th anniversary of Fritos Corn Chips.
Dig in, then head over to the Texas Star for a bird’s eye view of Dallas at its best.
