🧬 Dallas companies make TIME's most influential list for reviving extinct species. Colossal Biosciences earned recognition for bringing back the dire wolf and becoming Texas' first $10 billion company. The biotech firm is also working to protect endangered species like red wolves and Asian elephants. Meanwhile, LTK joined the prestigious list as the world's largest influencer marketing platform, connecting 40 million shoppers with retailers generating $5 billion in annual sales. Dallas-born Poppi, now Austin-based, also made the list before its recent $2 billion acquisition by PepsiCo.
🥐 Dallas welcomes chic French eatery with all-day dining vibes. Frenchie, a new 4,000-square-foot brasserie from Travis Street Hospitality, has opened in Preston Center Plaza offering comfort foods like rillettes, quiche, and tartare de boeuf. The restaurant seats 150 diners and features a spacious food-covered patio with an indoor-outdoor bar. Founded by French culinary experts Stephan Courseau, Daniele Garcia, and Bruno Davaillon, Frenchie currently serves lunch and dinner with breakfast service coming soon. The opening is part of a $5 million renovation of the North Dallas shopping center that's attracting several new upscale tenants.
🎭 Dallas actor brings Joseph's technicolor dreams to life on stage. Zachary J. Willis stars in Dallas Theater Center's production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," playing through July 13 at the Wyly Theatre. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, based on the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, features themes of faith, family, and forgiveness that Willis believes are universally relatable. While acknowledging Donny Osmond's iconic portrayal, Willis brings his own interpretation to the character, embracing the challenge of playing Joseph as a Black man despite some audience expectations. The family-friendly show appeals to all ages with vibrant music, colorful costumes, and timeless themes of reconciliation.
