“There’s a new tenant at Armadillo Acres—and she’s wreaking havoc all over Florida’s most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between the Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband—the storms begin to brew.” -Dramatists Play Service Music and lyrics by David Nehls, book by Betsy Kelso *Note: Tickets purchased online are at the Adult price only.

San Angelo Cultural Affairs Council

The San Angelo Concert Series is celebrating its 10th season this summer. Begun in 2004, these concerts feature award-winning songwriters in listener oriented concerts.

What is a “listening” concert? It is a place where an audience gathers in anticipation of receiving the council of exceptional song. It is not a place to talk or socialize in the common sense. It is not a place to get drunk and tell jokes while the “musician” in the corner fills the edges of your evening with sound.

The artists performing these concerts are smart. They are writing good art void of cliché. They are conveying interpersonal revelations delivered with grace and well honed, individual style. They are professional musicians placing a higher value on seeking truths than obtaining commercial “success”. They are refreshing and incredibly talented. They are devoted to vocation.

Angelo Civic Theatre: Celebrating 126 years of community theatre!

One of the art world’s most enduring elements—theatre—derives its capacity for survival and success from the will of the people and the community it serves. Perhaps that is why Angelo Civic Theatre’s rich history is such a vivid testament to the San Angelo’s artistic spirit. Angelo Civic Theatre traces its developmental roots from a dramatic society that was formed on November 21, 1885, and whose first project was initiated to secure funds for a town clock. Although vacillating economic times and two world wars suspended the artistic efforts of the community on a number of occasions, theatrical productions continued. In 1950 upon the creation of the San Angelo Civic Theatre, a sustainable form of theatre was realized. In 1980, the theatre’s Board of Directors raised the funds necessary to purchase and renovate the Parkway Theatre into a 230-seat theatre that continues as the Theatre’s current home. Since its inception, the Theatre’s artistic programming has expanded to serve approximately 15,000 participants each year. Angelo Civic Theatre is committed to the growth of each volunteer, artist, staff member, board member and patron. In keeping with that ideal, the Theatre will provide opportunities that encourage a commitment to artistic excellence, respect for self and others, and service to the community.

Angelo Civic Theatre: 1936 Sherwood Way, 949-4400, www.angelocivictheatre.com Box office hours: Noon – 6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
