When Details Matter
Theater is visual. While it cannot exist without the leverage of the spoken word, the script in itself is enriched and interpreted through costuming, sets, lighting, and sound, all choreographed through the imaginative eye of the director. Whether acting as a producer or director for Bath House sponsored productions, Marty Van Kleeck steeps these works […]
Uke-a-Palooza! Was Too Much Fun!
Our Petite Party was a smash hit! Guests brought their own ukes or borrowed one from the Uke Lady of Texas, Noel Tardy. Within minutes Noel had everyone strumming a few chords and singing along. Everyone was channeling Don Ho on Wednesday evening!

The Bath House has always held special memories for me, as a life-long lover of White Rock Lake, as I grew up here and returned upon retirement. When I was a child, I squeezed between ill-fitting gates to play within its abandoned structure. When I was a young boy, its veranda provided lessons in photographic perspective as well as fanning the flames of young love at sundown.

The Friends are incredible volunteers who preserve a jewel of our area selflessly and too often without thanks. They represent the best of East Dallas.

A Personal Story and Why I am one of the Friends of the BathHouse
White Rock Lake is part of my earliest memories. I was born in Dallas and always lived not far from the lake. I fished and played there as a child, went to school parties at the old rock picnic shelter, twirled on the merry-go-round and slid down the slides. I played spin the bottle there as a young teen-ager and roasted hot dogs and watched the stars & moon shine on the waters.

Hope this becomes a regular event [in reference to the “Color Outside the Lines” event]. We had a wonderful time.

Where is my favorite place to show and sell my art? The Bath House Cultural Center of course. The dedicated professional staff organizes/advertises the show. The Volunteers of the Friends of the Bath House support the artists throughout the entire show. I get to meet wonderful artists & see/buy their work. And our browsers and buyers are the best!
