Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo final days
There are just three days left to enjoy the 2026 Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. The featured event will be the semifinals and finals of the Pro Rodeo Tournament that has been taking place over the course of the festival. And with the temperatures predicted to be above normal for this time of year, visitors can enjoy the midway without worrying about freezing. The Stock Show and Rodeo takes place through Saturday at Dickies Arena and the surrounding area. Here are all the ways to get discounted tickets, and here's a complete lineup of live music acts. Want to make a night of it? Head to dinner first at a local restaurant with a rodeo special, then end the evening with a post-rodeo nightcap at one of these local bars.
Onstage in Bedford presents Greater Tuna
The day in Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, begins - as usual - with Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie at the microphones of Radio OKKK. As the day continues, Tuna’s citizens parade across the stage in all their outrageous and irreverent glory, commenting on life, politics, and what makes them (and sometimes us) tick. The production runs through February 22 at Onstage in Bedford.

Magnolia at the Modern: A Private Life
A mix of black comedy and mystery thriller, A Private Life depicts renowned psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster) as she mounts a private investigation into the death of one of her patients, whom she is convinced has been murdered. The film will screen six times through Sunday at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Read our critic's review here.
Jubilee Theatre presents Hype Man: A Break Beat Play
Hype Man: A Break Beat Play is a pulse-pounding, thought-provoking work that explores friendship, accountability, and the often-unseen creative forces shaping hip-hop culture. It follows three artists on the brink of a breakthrough: a rising rap star, his longtime hype man, and a gifted beat maker whose sound fuels their success. When an unexpected crisis erupts on the eve of a career-defining performance, all three must confront difficult truths about loyalty, responsibility, and whose voices are truly heard when the spotlight hits. The production runs through February 28 at Jubilee Theatre.
Stolen Shakespeare Guild presents Sense and Sensibility
When the Dashwood sisters are left nearly penniless, they must navigate love, heartbreak, and society’s expectations with both sense and sensibility. Jane Austen’s beloved tale comes alive in this spirited, witty adaptation filled with romance, scandal, and the enduring bonds of sisterhood. The production runs through February 22 at Stolen Shakespeare Guild.
Hyena's presents April Macie
Comedian April Macie travels the world collecting stories and experiences, which she then translates into humorous, relatable tales in front of audiences worldwide. She was a finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2006, has appeared on E! Entertainment, Sirius and XM Radio, Access Hollywood, Talk Soup, and HLN. She'll perform four times through Saturday at Hyena's Comedy Nightclub.
Southall in concert
Southall - formerly The Read Southall Band - formed out of the local songwriting scene in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2015 following the success of Read Southall's debut solo album, Six String Sorrow. They have released four albums in their career, most recently Southall in 2023. They'll play at Billy Bob's Texas.
Saturday, February 7
National Theatre Live presents Mrs. Warren’s Profession
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic. Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune - but at what cost? Filmed live from the West End in London, the production explores the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress. The screening will be at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo will wrap up its annual run at Dickies Arena on February 7.
Clay Walker in concert
Country singer Clay Walker came out of the gate red hot in the early '90s, scoring No. 1 hits with five out of his first six singles. With a start to his career like that, he didn't have much more to prove, but he still put out a string of top 10 albums. Walker has released 12 albums in his career, most recently Texas to Tennessee in 2021. He'll play at Billy Bob's Texas.
