This Year's Bath House FIT Fest Will Be Extra Cool. (The New Air-Conditioner Helps.)

Churchmouse ProductionsJoey Folsom and Stephanie Hall star in Churchmouse Productions' Georgie Gets a Facelift and Thank U Berry MunchEach summer the Festival of Independent Theatres puts Dallas' hottest stage actors in a bunch of short one-act plays in rotating rep over four weekends. The 12th annual FIT fest, as it's redundantly nicknamed, goes up tonight at the Bath House Cultural Center on the east side of White Rock Lake, with a slate of eight shows running through Saturday, Aug. 7. It's always a cool event, a place to spot fresh talent and see small theater companies debut new scripts. (It's where Matt Lyle and his Bootstraps Comedy Theatre premiered the brilliant silent comedy The Boxer, which has since been produced in a half dozen theaters.) The festival features only companies that don't have the scratch to rent permanent stage space, so for troupes like the experimental White Rock Pollution and The Drama Club, it's a rare chance for them to own a stage for six fully realized performances. The atmosphere for theatergoers is casual and tickets are cheap (just $49 for a two-week festival pass, $69 for all four weeks, breaking down to less than $6 per show, or you can get $16 single tickets). Last year there was barely a peep from the sold-out crowds when the air conditioning broke down in the final week; shows went on with the help of some floor fans aimed at actors and viewers. (With new a/c in place at the Bath House now, it's a meat locker. Bring a jacket.) Festival manager David Meglino says this year's FIT, despite a 50 percent budget cut by the Office of Cultural Affairs, has particularly strong buzz going into opening night: "Every company has picked something they're really passionate about. I think it's the most exciting lineup yet." Jump for the lineup.

It?s about the Russian Mafia. You make a movie in which one of the more vicious segments of the underworld is the main character, it has to have violence or it looks like you were just bullshitting the audience.

The Integratron - A Sound Bath House Commissioned by 'Space People'

Deep in the Mojave Desert is an odd, dome-shaped wood-and-fiberglass building measuring 38 feet high and 55 feet in diameter. Legend has it that aircraft mechanic George Van Tassel built the structure, known as the Integratron, in the 1950s at the behest of extraterrestrials. Today, operators claim it's the only acoustically perfect sound chamber in the U.S. They offer visitors "sound baths," which are said to have rejuvenating effects. Asylum correspondent Brett McKenzie recently checked out the Integratron, took a bath, and filed this report ... ...
