 CYRANO A-GO-GO is an exploration of one restless theatre artist's fascination with the swashbuckling 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. A chance encounter with the script at a suburban public library at the age of 15 leads to a cruel and wonderful calling. Presented as an old-school oration the piece mixes the personal, historical and literary into a journey through Rostand's play. McEntire presents a funny, warm, insightful meditation on the nature of theatricality, the nobility of personal identity and the hard-won lessons of love, unrequited and otherwise.

Winner! Best of Fest at the 2014 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival ROBERT'S ETERNAL GOLDFISH Written and Performed by Brad McEntire In this solo show by Brad McEntire, the audience comes face to face with Mr. Robert J. Roberts. Roberts has a huge problem with people. All people. One day he becomes the unlikely custodian of a magical goldfish and Mr. Roberts' misanthropic view of the world is seriously challenged. McEntire's an expert at swimming solo onstage, charming the audience with sly looks and inventive storytelling. ~ Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer Robert’s Eternal Goldfish works, and McEntire does everything perfectly in his writing, only overshadowing it with his stellar performance in it! ~ Richard Blake, PegasusNews.com Like a cross between Seinfeld’s George Costanza and comedian Lewis Black. ~ Nancy Churnin, DallasNews.com One of McEntire’s many talents is being able to couch very real meditations on life into extraordinary stories. ~ Kris Noteboom, TheaterJones.com Playing as part of the 2014 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival WaterTower Theatre at the Addison Theatre Centre Stone Cottage Theatre 15650 Addison Road, Addison, TX 75001 Friday March 7 – 7:00 pm Saturday March 8 – 8:00 pm Sunday March 9 – 5:00 pm TICKETS: Single tickets to all events go on sale Feb. 18.

 Brad McEntire's newest play DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN will world-premiere at the 2013 Festival of Independent Theatres (FIT) at the Bath House Cultural Center June 7-22, 2013. A press conference is held. A robot from the future and a dinosaur from the past address their experiences of being rudely sucked through time and space to our present, how they saved a little girl who had been stupidly playing in the path of a speeding train, and what they plan to do now that they seem to be stuck in the 21st Century. DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN is a contemporary take on the Theatre of the Absurd from the 1950s with its broad comedy, touches of Vaudeville, mixture of the horrific or tragic, characters caught in hopeless or confusing situations, dialogue full of nonsensical wordplay and repetition as well as just flat-out parody or dismissal of realism. The Bath House Cultural Center is located at 521 E. Lawther Drive, Dallas, TX 75218. Map link HERE. Performance dates and times are: Friday, June 7 @ 8 PM Saturday, June 8 @ 2 PM Sunday, June 9 @ 5 PM Friday, June 14 @ 8 PM Saturday, June 15 @ 2 PM Saturday, June 22 @ 5 PM Tickets and other info at: http://festivalofindependenttheatres.org/ To follow the process of how this play was developed, read press, see production photos and more visit the "Dinosaur and Robot" tag on the ATL Blog, Notes from the Lab...
