The Trade: A Tragedy in Four Quarters: The scariest thing about this Theatre Three show is reliving the tragic trade of Luka Donĉić to the Lakers. A comedy play about the infamous chapter in Dallas Mavericks history is also a triumph of the stage. Quintin Jones Jr. plays the villainous Mavs general manager Nico Harrison followed by a Greek chorus of actors who take on such roles as Jason Kidd, Mark Cuban and, of course, Donĉić. Matt Lyle and Matt Coleman’s play is a display of razor-sharp writing and clever humor that fills every riveting minute of the show. The show closes on Nov. 2. Theatre3Dallas.com.

This concert features performances by the TCC Chamber Chorus, TerraVox, Coloratura and the Turtle Creek Dance Company.
