Fort Worth Opera: Coming Soon to Television?
A small Dallas media company is in Las Vegas today at a national conference of TV executives. The company won the opportunity to pitch the execs their idea for a six-part "docu-soap": a backstage look at the Fort Worth Opera and its three-shows-in-five-weeks season.

Competitions

It's that time of year again! The bulk of the auditions have passed, and my empty wallet is the only thing burning a hole in my pocket. So the competition scramble begins.
