Dallas theater-goers know and love Liz Mikel. Others might recognize her from her role on Friday Night Lights. We gave her a “Best of Big D” nod in 2004. More recently, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the DTC, she was captivating. Well, her condo burned down yesterday, and she lost nearly everything. So on Friday, January 15, the Dallas Theater Center is turning its premiere of Give It Up! into a benefit for Mikel. The 8 p.m. show will be a “pay what you can” performance. Every seat in the house is available for whatever you can pay for it. You decide. One hundred percent of proceeds will go to Mikel, who will play the role of Hetaira. Tickets go on sale Monday. 214-880-0202. You can learn more about the play here. Given the circumstances, this should be a pretty special performance.
