ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION
Welcome
to the Metroplex! The Dallas-Ft. Worth Area Liaison
Committee is providing this guide to make your stay with us more
enjoyable. The Metroplex is a large, diverse area – so we'll be
concentrating on the neighborhoods that are closest to where
you're probably staying. However, we'll also highlight other sites
of interest that are within a short drive or train ride from your
hotel or condo. We hope you enjoy your visit. And, we hope you'll
come back to see us again when you have a little more time to
spend with us. Dallas and Ft. Worth are great jumping-off points
for further explorations into our State, or – as we like to call it –
that "whole other Country."

the back story
Welcome to Dallas-Ft. Worth – 3
"THE METROPLEX"
is a term coined in the
early 1970s to designate the 12-county region of North
Central Texas in which Dallas and Ft. Worth are the
principal cities. It's huge! Think of it this way: Its
population (6.5 million) is about the same as the state of
Massachusetts. In fact, it's the 4th most populous
metropolitan area in the country. Its area (9,300 mi2) is
about the same size as the state of New Hampshire.
A Short Course in Texas History
"Texas" means "friends" or "allies" in Caddo – one of the native peoples inhabiting the
region when it was first settled by Spain in the early 1500s. The term "six flags over Texas"
came from the several nations that had rule over the territory. Spain was the first European
country to claim the area. France held a short-lived colony in Texas. Mexico controlled the
territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence,
becoming an independent Republic. In 1845 it joined
the United States as the 28th state. The state's
annexation set off a chain of events that caused the
Mexican-American War in 1846. A slave state, Texas
seceded from the Union early in 1861, joining the
Confederacy during the Civil War. In 1865, Texas
was restored to the United States.
the metroplex and the arts
Historically,
Texas culture comes from a blend of
Southwestern (Mexican), Southern (Dixie), and Western
(frontier) influences. This is symbolized by a popular
Texas food item, the breakfast burrito, which draws
from all three influences. (The popularity of this cuisine
might be one of the reasons the national sales of salsa
overtook catsup in the late 1990s.) Adding to Texas's
traditional culture, established in the 18th and 19th
centuries, immigration has made Texas a melting pot of
cultures from around the world.
The Arts Today:
• The Arts District in Downtown Dallas has many arts venues, such as the Dallas Museum
of Art (1903 – worldwide collection, including African, Contemporary and decorative art
pieces), the Nasher Sculpture Center (2003 – a 55,000-ft2 building & a 2-acre garden), the
Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, the Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of
Asian Art, and the AT&T Performing Arts Center, which is home to the Margot & Bill
Winspear Opera House, the Dee & Charles Wyly Theatre, and the City Performance Hall.
• The Deep Ellum district, just east of downtown Dallas, became popular during the 1920s
and 1930s as the prime jazz and blues hotspot in the Southern U.S. (The name Deep Ellum
comes from local people pronouncing "Deep Elm" as "Deep Ell-um".) Artists such as Blind
Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, and Bessie Smith played
in early Deep Ellum clubs. Today's Deep Ellum is home to many live music venues,
performing arts groups, art galleries, bars and restaurants.
• And, a little farther east, lies Fair Park, home to the State Fair of Texas and one of the
nation's finest collections of art deco buildings. It's also the location of the Music Hall at
Fair Park.
• Founded in 1892, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, also called "The Modern", is
Texas's oldest art museum. The Fort Worth Arts District is also home to the Kimbell Art
Museum (1972 – European, Asian and Pre-Columbian), the Amon Carter Museum (1961 –
American art, sculpture & photography), the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and Casa
Mañana.
• Downtown Fort Worth's Sundance Square is a popular place for nightlife and
entertainment. The area includes numerous restaurants, bars, art galleries and performing
arts venues, including the Bass Performance Hall, which is the current home of the Fort
Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn
International Piano Competition.
getting around the metroplex
The Metroplex is crisscrossed with a system of interstate
highways, buses and light rail. Each city has its own transit
system: DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) and “The
T” (Fort Worth Transit Authority). (Arlington – a city of
375,000 people and home to Six Flags and stadiums for the
Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers – is the largest city
in America with no mass transit system.) The Trinity Rail
Express (TRE) links the downtown areas of Dallas and
Fort Worth, with a stop at DFW International Airport.
Taking the TRE to Downtown Dallas or Ft. Worth from
DFW International Airport:
The Trinity Rail Express (TRE) links DFW Airport’s
CentrePort/DFW Airport Station with downtown Dallas’s Union Station or downtown Ft.
Worth’s T&P Station. This service runs Monday through Saturday, with no Sunday service at
this time. (NOTE: The TRE to Ft. Worth has a stop at the International Transportation
Center, which is closer to the Bass Hall and downtown hotels and offers bus connections to
the Arts District.)
After collecting their luggage, airline travelers arriving at DFW Airport board blue and
yellow Remote South buses at designated stops in the terminal. The free buses depart the
terminals approximately every 15 minutes. At Remote South, passengers connect to free
buses serving the CentrePort/DFW Airport Station. Buses to CentrePort/DFW Airport
Station depart Remote South every 15 minutes.
A single-trip ticket on the TRE from CentrePort/DFW Airport Station to stations east of the
station (i.e., Dallas) is $3.75. A single-trip ticket to stations west of CentrePort/DFW Airport
Station (i.e., Ft. Worth) is $2.50. Link to www.trinityrailexpress.org/tre-ridebuy.html for
more TRE schedule, stations and fare information.
SuperShuttle Rates from DFW Airport to the Downtown Areas:
DFW Airport to Downtown Fort Worth hotels: $17.00 (shared ride); exclusive van:
$100.00.
DFW Airport to Downtown Dallas hotels: $17.00 (shared ride); exclusive van: $90.00.
Taxi Fares in the Metroplex:

getting around: local knowledge
“What the heck’s a ‘Stemmons’?”
Many years ago, urban planners and local residents began referring to our major freeways
by their given names, not the numbers as they appear in maps and road atlases. This has
given rise to some confusion about what’s what and who’s who. (Not to mention who’s
what...) By the way, we refer to these roads by their names with no “the” (as in LA’s “the
405” or NYC’s “the FDR”). Here’s a quick primer to aid in your translations:
• LBJ Freeway - Interstate Highway (I-)635 that runs W<–>E between just north of DFW
Airport to Garland, then N<–>S to I-20. Named for Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908-1973),
36th President of the United States, who was born in Stonewall, TX.
• Stemmons Freeway - I-35E that runs NE<–>SW between Downtown Dallas and
Lewisville, TX (Lake Dallas). Named for Leslie Allison Stemmons (1876-1939), father of
Dallas real estate developer John M. Stemmons (1909-2001), who donated land for the
construction of I-35E on the condition that frontage roads would serve his other land
holdings along the right-of-way. Pretty smart, huh?
• R.L. Thornton Freeway - I-35E that runs N<–>S between Waxahachie, TX, and
Downtown Dallas, then E<–>W as I-30 between Downtown and Lake Ray Hubbard. Named
for Robert Lee Thornton (1880-1964), Dallas businessman, philanthropist, and mayor of the
city.
• Central Expressway - US-75 that runs N<–>S between just south of Downtown Dallas,
past its eastern edge (providing the border between Downtown and Deep Ellum), and 31.5
miles to McKinney, TX. TRAVELER’S ADVISORY: This trip may take anywhere from 40
to 80 minutes, depending on traffic and time-of-day. Central got its name, not because it is
somewhat central to Dallas, but because of its parallel course with the Houston & Texas
Central Railway.
• Woodall Rogers Freeway - Loop 366 that runs along the northern edge of Downtown
Dallas and connects I-35E with Central Expressway. This highway is essentially the border
between Downtown and Uptown Dallas. James Woodall Rogers (1890-1961) began his
career in law in Dallas, later specializing in oil and gas law. He served as mayor of Dallas
from 1939 to 1947.
• Tom Landry Freeway - I-30 that runs W<–>E between Dallas and Fort Worth. Formerly a
toll road known as the DFW Turnpike (hence, “the old Turnpike”). Named for Thomas
Wade Landry (1924-2000), head coach of the Dallas Cowboys football team from 1960 to
1988.
• Airport Freeway - SH-183 that runs E<–>W between just north of Downtown Dallas
(past the southern entrance to DFW Airport) and Downtown Ft. Worth.
• (John W.) Carpenter Freeway - SH-114 that runs E<–>W between I-35E (through the
Airport Freeway split) and the northern entrance to DFW Airport. Carpenter (1881-1959)
was a businessman (Texas Power & Light, Southland Life Insurance Co., Lone Star Steel
Co.) and agriculturalist (Trinity Valley Cattle Co.).
getting around: more local knowledge
• Walton Walker Boulevard (often referred to as “Loop 12/Walton Walker”) - The section
of Loop 12 that runs N<–>S between Mountain Creek Lake and I-35E. Named for Major
General Walton Harris “Johnnie” Walker (1889-1950), career U.S. Army officer and first
commander of the 8th Army in the Korean War, who was born in Belton, TX.
• “East” and “West” Freeway - Used to designate sections of I-30 East and West of
Downtown Fort Worth.
• “North” and “South” Freeway - Used to designate sections of I-35W North and South of
Downtown Fort Worth.
• George Bush Turnpike (This one does call for a “the”.) A long stretch of road that begins
as SH-161 and runs N<–>S between just north of I-30 and I-35E. It then joins SH-190 and
runs E<–>W through northeast Garland, TX. Named for George Herbert Walker Bush (born
1924), naval aviator, oilman, statesman and 41st President of the United States. (Although
born in Milton, MA, Bush moved to West Texas as a young man to make his fortune.)
• Marvin D. Love Freeway - A short stretch of US-67 that runs NE<–>SW between I-20
and I-35E. Named after a branch manager for Dallas Power & Light and an active civic
leader (who, incidentally, is not the namesake of Dallas’s Love Field).
• Julius Schepps Freeway - I-45 that runs from its beginning at I-30 N<–>S to I-20 – and,
eventually, to Houston. Schepps (1895-1971) was a civic leader, businessman and
philanthropist. Born in St. Louis to Russian immigrant parents who moved to Dallas in
1901, Schepps served on the board of directors (once as chairman) of the Mercantile
National Bank. He shared other business interests including bakeries and insurance
companies.
• C.F. Hawn Freeway - US-175 that runs NW<–>SE between I-45 in South Dallas and
Athens, TX. Named after a Texas Highway Commissioner who lived in Athens.
• Odds & Sods:
- Harry Hines Boulevard is named in honor of the man’s work helping to get roads paved
in this part of the state. Hines served on the Texas Highway Commission from 1935 to 1941
and for two years as its chair.
- Love Field had its start as a military air field and is named for Lt. Moss Lee Love, a
Virginia-born U.S. Army officer who had served in the Philippines prior to his assignment
with the Signal Corps Aero Squad in Texas City. Love received his orders to proceed to San
Diego for his aviation training, and died 3 months into that training when the plane he was
flying crashed in 1913.

Friends of Bill W.
Check with the provider before you schedule an appointment, though, to be aware of their
current healthcare network affiliation. Let us say it again, just to be certain we’re all on the
same page: All these suggestions in no way reflect the opinions or approval of Equity.
They are only people and companies we’ve worked with who offer superior care/service
and are considered by us to be “Equity friendly.”
Okay, now that we’ve made that clear, let’s get on to the “meat and potatoes” of the deal:
the establishments we’ve found to be of consistent high quality. And that’s after many years
of “research.” (The Greater Dallas Restaurant Association alone lists over 5,600 member
restaurants!) Here are our best shots at saving you from having to experience a bad meal:

bars & clubs
For a bunch of people with a long, colorful history of saloons, watering holes and honkytonks, Texans didn’t get state-wide liquor by-the-drink until Gov. John Connolly pushed it
through the Leg’ in 1971. Even after that, counties still retain the option of being “wet” or
“dry” – a choice that percolates down to the precinct level – resulting in Dallas and Fort
Worth neighborhoods where one cannot purchase wine or beer (let alone liquor) in
convenience stores. Many of the state’s dry counties do have “private clubs” where liquor is
served. In the Metroplex, bars cannot serve after 2 a.m., but – again – closing times are
determined by the counties. Liquor stores are open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through
Saturday. Beer is sold in convenience stores from 7 a.m. until midnight Monday-Friday and
until 1 a.m. Saturday; beer sales on Sunday are permitted from noon until midnight. As you
can see, sometimes you need a drink just to figure out how to get one!

Here is a listing of the theatres in North Texas (zip codes 75xxx
and 76xxx) that have recently used Equity contracts. The addresses
given are their mailing addresses, not necessarily the addresses of
their performing spaces.
• Theatres with multiple listings have different contracts for different
producing venues.
• Dallas Summer Musicals, Inc. is not listed, probably because they
have not recently produced a show themselves.
