MMLTHU ▪ 14

A minority within a minority, transgender people often seem to be an afterthought in the great struggle for sexual equality. Seeking to redress the balance is the new Fort Worth chapter of the national organization Trans-cendence, which is holding a fund-raiser this evening with a three-band touring show called the Hardly Boys Tour. The event is at 7pm at 4615 California Pkwy, FW. Tickets are $12-15.

 

FRI ▪ 15

The comedian and movie star Steve Martin is in certain circles known more as a novelist and extremely knowledgeable art collector. Those latter qualities moved to the fore in The Object of Beauty, a novel that he published last fall to mixed reviews. This evening’s Artful Readings Book Discussion Group will have interesting fodder when it takes up that book. The talk is at 7pm at the Kimbell Art Museum, 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, FW. Admission is free. Call 817-332-8451.

 

SAT ▪ 16

There are two events going on this morning called Christmas in July, and they’re both worthy charity events. The one at Hope Center is an arts and crafts expo to benefit autism research, while the one at The Score Sports Bar is a music-oriented event to benefit the Tarrant/Dallas MHMR Toy Run. Bring your checkbook and your Santa hat. Check Calendar for times and locations. Admission to both events is free.

 

SUN ▪ 17

The same weekend as a book discussion on Steve Martin (see Friday blurb), there’s also a play based on one of his movies.

The show runs thru Jul 31 at Runway Theatre, 216 N Dooley St, Grapevine. Tickets are $12-15. Call 817-488-4842.
