FORT WORTH \u2014 Jubilee Theatre will present \u201cKlook and Vinette,\u201d a musical drama by Ch\u00e9 Walker with music by Anoushka Lucas and Omar Lyefook, from July 31 through Aug. 30.<\/p>\n

Directed by Khira Hailey, Klook and Vinette follows Klook, a drifter who has grown weary of life on the road, and Vinette, a woman running from a past she cannot fully understand.<\/p>\n

Tough, tender, funny, and poignant, the play offers an unforgettable exploration of love, healing, and resilience.<\/p>\n
