Join us for our annual summer children’s show June 24-29!

This award-winning stage adaptation by renowned playwright James DeVita takes Lewis Carroll’s original Through the Looking Glass and literally runs with it. This delightful romp through Alice’s Looking Glass Land retains all of the familiar characters and introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, a peanut salesman, detectives, star-struck tourists, plastic light saber wielding knights and much more. It’s fun for the whole family!

Performances are June 24-28 at 10:00 am and June 29 at noon.

All tickets are $5!

For ticket purchase, group rates, or information, call 281.290.5201 or visit www.LoneStar.edu/boxoffice.

The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. presents
TRIBUTE
by Bernard Slade
Directed by Walter Baker
Bernard Slade created a wonderful romantic comedy with a huge heart when he wrote TRIBUTE, a father & son story of incredible warmth and humor. The play is about a father searching for a son, a son’s acceptance of his father, and a man who is everyone’s friend, and nobody’s hero. The plot focuses on Scottie Templeton, a charming, popular personality who has spent his life shirking responsibility as he tap dances through life. When he discovers he is terminally ill, he attempts to reconnect with his long estranged son – thus setting the stage for Slade’s magical play of family love & redemption. From the award-winning writer of “Same Time Next Year”, TRIBUTE is a heartwarming comedy about family and forgiveness.
The Texas Repertory Theatre production of TRIBUTE features Texas Rep favorites Jim Salners, Jeffrey S. Lane, Katrina Ellsworth, and Kyle Cameron as well as Niki Mondellini, Jamie Hughes, and Elizabeth Marshall Black making their Texas Rep debut under the direction of Walter Baker.

Kevin Eubanks is a gifted musician and prolific composer. Kevin is also well known as the leader of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show Orchestra for 18 years. Kevin’s laid back style and affability belie the concentration and focus that have made him one of the most accomplished guitarists of his or any generation.
In a career that took flight in 1985 with immediate commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility, respect and maverick daring. Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected.
