The original play, Old Town Neighbors, is set to take the stage this September, paying homage to a hundred years of Lewisville's history. According to the City of Lewisville, tickets have just dropped for this local spectacle, with performances running from September 12-21.
The narrative centers around a young girl and her father as they plan to leave her late mother's childhood home, invoking the spirits of Lewisville's past to recount its century-long tale, and if tugging at your heartstrings is your kind of evening out then this might just be the ticket; the show intertwines personal loss with communal heritage, striking a chord that resonates well beyond the theater walls. Showtimes are slated for the afternoons and evenings, fitting most schedules, and with general seating priced at a welcoming $12, it's an accessible piece of cultural engagement.
Communal efforts are the bedrock of this production, with the city of Lewisville pairing up with the Lewisville Playhouse to deliver this narrative, part of the broader Centennial Celebration hoopla, and for those itching for more on the year-long festivities, you'd do well to check out lewisvilletx100.com. Zachary Cantrell, the play's writer, and Lindsey Humpries, its director, collaborated to bring this project to life, a testament to the city's robust creative pulse.
Home to a dynamic array of artistic endeavors, the Lewisville Grand Theater boasts facilities ranging from a 294-seat performance hall to intimate black box spaces accommodating a mix of music, comedy, dance, and more, serving as a cultural hub and local lifeline for the arts community, while also acting as a venue for both regional and national touring acts as they pass through Texas. Those planning to attend should consider the ongoing Main Street construction which is likely to delay travel, therefore allowing extra time is wise; for the uninitiated, take I-35E, exit 452, hang a right on Main to Charles Street, and voila, culture awaits, minus the headache of parking fees thanks to gratis public spaces along Main and Church streets or at City Hall.
