Hip Pocket Theatre

"Hip Pocket is a fun theater with creative plays. Your night starts with live music on a patio with a small bar offering beer, wine, and soft drinks. The vibe is rustic with lights string and patio tables of various designs and vintages scattered about an open air space in front of a manger-like stage.

The actors are local and loyal - several on the night we attended had been performing at the Hip Pocket since the 90s. "

"We have really enjoyed the last 7 seasons of their baudy, outrageously funny, and odd and so unlikely , creative and visually stunning shows. #Puppets music dance melodrama and all so outrageously entertaining. Bring your friends. Its one of the cooler traditions in Fort Worth. Great musicians play before and after every performance. Family owned usually but not family atmosphere.. a tradition. ...check in soon."
