Tarrant County College campuses are offering a number of dance, drama and musical events this spring.
“The Good Woman of Szechwan” runs Feb. 21-23 at Theatre Northwest, located at the Northwest Campus, 4801 Marine Creek Parkway. The drama, which focuses on the struggle to live a moral life in a society corrupted by greed and selfishness, also will be performed at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Shreveport, La., on Feb. 26. Selected from approximately 40 college and university submissions, the TCC Northwest Theatre department will be the only two-year college to perform during the festival.
On Feb. 26, the Brock McGuire Band will perform in the Student Center at the Northeast Campus, 828 W. Harwood Road, Hurst. At 4:30 p.m., the band will lead a music appreciation session, with a concert to follow at 7:30 p.m. The band’s repertoire emphasizes mostly Irish music but also includes arrangements of American Old-Time, Bluegrass, French-Canadian and other Celtic traditions.

Rushing Center for the Performing Arts, located at 5301 Campus Drive. Corrie traveled the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada.
