September 10-20th (Thursday to Sunday performances) Hip Pocket will be putting on White Elephant, a play written by John Dyer and Lake Simons (the daughter of Fort Worth great, Johnny Simons.)
White Elephant features a series of poetic vignettes about animals, people and objects transforming from one plane to another. Inspired by the true story of an unwanted, white, weathered, wicker elephant whose owner tosses it onto a roaring bonfire one chilly fall night, White Elephant is brought to life through puppetry, movement, mask, super 8 film, and live music.
With its outdoor stage and pre- & post-show live music, Hip Pocket must be Fort Worth’s best kept secret. There is always something quite magical about being outside under a star filled Texas sky watching a performance that is unmistakably Hip Pocket.
Get there early (I would say as early as 7:00…ish, as the show starts at 8:15), grab your beverage of choice, douse yourself in bug spray, take a seat at one of the quaint little tables that are strewn about and enjoy the live music…And then the performance, and then more live music (and more drinking, obvi.)
We’ll see ya there (1950 Silver Creek Rd., Fort Worth, TX 76108)
