Beyond the Performance

At Texas Performing Arts we make sure engagement with the arts extends beyond the stage, both here on campus and in the community. Through workshops, discussions, youth performances, and more, we strive for everyone to be able to feed their artistic spirit.

Our 23/24 Season is in full swing with a diverse lineup of extraordinary international theatre, music, and dance — and myriad new opportunities to connect with our performances. We invite you to get inspired and join us at TPA, the place for art in Austin. Here are a few highlights of our campus and community activities from this year. 1

Take a Bow! Austin’s own Langston Lee Wins National Jimmy Award

In June the most talented teenagers from across the country took the stage at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City for the 14th National High School Musical Theatre Awards®, better known as the Jimmys. Among them, two Austinarea students, Langston Lee and Kyra Carr had the opportunity to compete on the Broadway stage with 94 other nominees.

This annual awards event is a coast-tocoast celebration of outstanding student achievement recognizing individual artistry in vocal, dance, and acting performance. Both Langston and Kyra are winners of the 2023 Heller Awards for Young Artists for leading roles in their high school musicals. This was the first year that Heller winners could compete at the national level, thanks to a partnership with Texas Performing Arts, a member of the Broadway League. At the end of an unforgettable evening of show-stopping performances, the top honor of Best Performance by an Actor was awarded to Langston.

But the Jimmys is not only an awards event, it’s a once-in-lifetime opportunity for the students to learn what it takes to build a performing arts career through coaching sessions, training, and rehearsals led by some of Broadway’s most accomplished professionals.

Nurturing homegrown talent and guiding and supporting the next generation of artists is central to TPA's mission and we could not be happier for Langston, Kyra, and all of the nominees. Bravo!

JANE SEYMOUR

December 15, 1485 – January 7, 1536

ONE: to Arthur (Henry’s older brother), November 14, 1501 (aged 15)

TWO: to Henry VIII, June 11, 1509 (aged 23)

Mary, born February 18, 1516 (later Queen Mary I).

Catherine also had two other children who died as infants, three stillborn children, and several miscarriages.

Religion, sewing, dancing, a bit more religion.

Probably a type of cancer.

Her refusal to accept that her marriage was invalid; her faith; her dramatic speech to Henry when he had her brought to court to seek the annulment of their marriage.

While Henry fought in France in 1513, Catherine was regent during the Battle of Flodden; when James IV of Scotland was killed in the battle, Catherine wanted to send his body to Henry as a present.

Beyoncé and Shakira.

c. 1501 – May 19, 1536

January 25, 1533 (aged 31)

Elizabeth, born September 7, 1533 (later Queen Elizabeth I). Anne also had at least two miscarriages.

Fashion, dancing, flirtation, collecting evangelical works.

Lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon.

Executed on Tower Green, London.

Headlessness; bringing about England’s break with the Pope; having a sixth fingernail.

Because she was fluent in French, Anne would have acted as a translator during the visit of Emperor Charles V to court in 1522.

Lily Allen and Avril Lavigne.

1507 or 1508 – October 24, 1537

May 30, 1536 (aged 28 or 29) Edward, born October 12, 1537 (later King Edward VI).

Religious faith, obedience. Lady-in-waiting to Anne Boleyn. Hemorrhage after the birth of Prince Edward; her child with Henry. Adele and Sia.

Being the “only one he truly loved”; having two troublesome brothers who fought over the regency of the young Prince Edward after King Henry’s death. While Anne Boleyn was still alive, Henry sent Jane a gift of money which she refused, apparently saying there “was no treasure in this world that she valued so much as her honor.”

22 texasperformingarts.org

ANNA OF CLEVES

ALSO KNOWN AS

BIRTH AND DEATH

Anne of Cleves (the Anglicisation of her name)

She is referred to as Anna here to distinguish between the two Annes & to honor the name she would have called herself in her own language.

1515 – July 16, 1557

MARRIAGE None.

January 6, 1540 (aged 24)

CHILDREN

INTERESTS

Staying alive.

QUEEN LINKS Probably cancer.

Anna visited Katherine Howard once she became queen and bowed down to her.

CAUSE OF DEATH

REMEMBERED FOR...

DID YOU KNOW?

Being chosen from her portrait and then rejected when Henry met her.

When Henry first met Anna of Cleves, he disguised himself, possibly imagining some sort of a romantic reaction. According to a witness, when Henry kissed Anna, she turned away coldly from the hideous stranger molesting her. The witness, Lord Russell, observed that he “never saw His Highness so marvelously astonished.”

QUEENSPIRATION

KATHERINE HOWARD

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.

July 28, 1540 (aged 17)

None.

Religious faith, obedience.

Lady-in-waiting to Anna of Cleves; cousin to Anne Boleyn. Executed on Tower Green, London.

Being completely used (and abused) by those with power over her.

From her arrest on November 8, 1541 until her execution three months later, Katherine stayed under house arrest at Syon House; in late January of 1542, an act was passed in Parliament that rendered it treason for a woman to become the king’s wife without “plain declaration before of her unchaste life,” meaning Henry could have her killed.

Helping Texans is at the heart of H-E-B.

Over 115 years ago, we opened our doors to help make the lives of hard-working Texans better. We were a family business back then. We remain a family business today with a passion for - and a helping hand in - every community we serve.

From fighting hunger and providing disaster relief to honoring Texas educators and our Nation’s military, we’re firm believers in Texans helping Texans. We do this for one simple reason. We are from here, so we are helping here.
