AMON! brings the larger-than-life story of Fort Worth icon Amon G. Carter Jr. to the stage in a sharp, fast-paced theatrical portrait written by longtime Texas columnist Dave Lieber. The production stars Kevin Dilks as the famously bold publisher and civic power broker, and is directed by Connie Sanchez.
Carter, known for his swagger, wit, and unapologetic devotion to Fort Worth, built a reputation as one of Texas’ most colorful media figures. His rivalry with Dallas was legendary. He once famously said he would never set foot in Dallas… which makes it deliciously ironic that Amon! will be performed at the Winspear Opera House in the heart of Dallas. If ever there were a reason for him to cross the Trinity, this might be it.
Blending humor, history, and Texas bravado, Amon! offers audiences a lively look at the man who helped shape Fort Worth’s identity, now taking center stage in the city he loved to spar with most.
