Dallas’ Pocket Sandwich Theatre boasts to be “the most fun you can have in a Dallas theatre.” The theatre keeps a rowdy atmosphere, and the amount of fun the audience has is proportional to however cheesy the plays are.
“At the theatre, the audience throws popcorn at the actors just for fun. It’s basically just a normal theatre production, but it’s more about throwing popcorn than it is about watching actors perform.” – senior Ethan Waller
Walk off that huge holiday dinner in the 66-acre Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, featuring countless flowers, shrubs, trees and White Rock Lake.

“The displays at the arboretum are beautiful. I had my birthday party there last October and it was great. It’s also a really nice place to have photo shoots; I always see brides and models taking pictures there.” – junior Rebecca Jiang
