KimbellWED ? 31

Chances are that when you visit the Kimbell Art Museum, you don’t think about the frames of the paintings on display. The truth is, many of the works you see have been reframed several times over the decades, and choosing the right frame to display the art can be vitally important. Curator Nancy Edwards focuses on this aspect of the museum’s work in her lecture Framing the Kimbell at 12:30pm at 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, FW. Admission is free. Call 817-332-8451.

Noah Haidle’s black comedy Mr. Marmalade takes its title from an imaginary friend dreamed up by a four-year-old girl. The girl is emotionally abused, neglected, and left to watch too many adult-themed TV shows, so it’s no surprise that Mr. Marmalade is a violent businessman with a coke habit and a suitcase full of sex toys. He might want a new name. Sundown Collaborative Theatre’s production of the play runs Apr 1-10 at Redbud Theatre, 304 Administration Dr, Denton. Tickets are $7.50-10. Call 940-565-2428.
