Fate Complete, a new dark comedy written and directed by Kevin Grammer, kicks off the new year at Ochre House Theater in Dallas. In this enticing piece of theater, loyalty, love, and compassion are in the balance. Set in the ‘60s, Evelyn Forsyth is a war child who made it big in the movie industry. She then gave up her rocketing career as the studio’s top movie star to be with the love of her life, William Forsyth, a well-established movie executive.

Music and spectacle embrace the evening in Ochre House Theater’s unique brand of theater that you won’t want to miss.
