8/22/2026 8:00 PM (CST) Bars & Measures by Idris Goodwin

Bishop Arts Theatre Center — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 20:00:00 Z

Two brothers, both musicians. The classical pianist is Christian. The jazz bassist is Muslim. When Bilal is accused of being a terrorist and jailed awaiting trial, Eric tries to stay connected by pushing aside his own classical aspirations in order to learn big brother's jazz style. Separated by prison bars and religious convictions, the brothers scat and be-bop through their shared language of music. As his brother's trial progresses, Eric becomes disillusioned and struggles to decide if he believes the charges levied against his beloved older brother, or if false accusations make him a beleaguered martyr to a prejudiced, paranoid nation.

Come early and enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne. Visit www.bishopartstheatre.org for tickets or call (214) 948-0716.
