Attention music aficionados and story lovers, the Lewisville Grand Theater has begun ticket sales for its five-part 2026 Black Box Songwriters Series. In an initiative produced by the City of Lewisville, audiences will have the unique opportunity to enjoy some top-tier musical storytelling. The series promises an intimate atmosphere where both songs and the anecdotes behind them will take center stage.
Bringing a mix of soulful voices and narratives to the table, the lineup includes the collaborative ensemble of the Traveling Red River Songwriters, featuring artists like Susan Gibson and Walt Wilkins, slated to perform on January 16, 2026, at 8 p.m. at the Huffines Performance Hall. Tickets for this intriguing ensemble are going for $25 for reserved seating. Also on the roster is the well-known Suzanna Choffel, who is set to grace the stage on February 15, 2026, with tickets priced at $20 for general admission, a report by the City of Lewisville states.
Continuing the diverse selection of artists, Max and Heather Stalling are on deck for a March 22, 2026, performance, also available for a general admission fee of $25. But that's not all the series has to offer. A special feature for aspiring songwriters, the 14th Annual Lewisville Grand Songwriting Workshop will include heavyweights Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines on April 18, 2026, complete with a catered lunch and a concert ticket for the following day for $55. The workshop culminates with another performance by Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines on April 19, 2026, with tickets also set at the steal of $20 general admission.
The event series is more than just a set of concerts, it's a cultural movement aligned with the forward-thinking “Old Town” and “Identity, Place, and Communications” initiatives outlined in the City of Lewisville 2025 vision plan. Tickets can be snagged at tix.com, but locals can seize select advance $20 tickets in person by presenting proof of residency at Lewisville - a perk for the hometown crowd. And for those who've experienced the headache of finding affordable event parking, fret not; the Grand has you covered with free public options along Main and Church streets or at the City Hall.
Lewisville Grand Theater stands as a proud hub for the arts, serving not only as a venue for touring acts but also as a community centerpiece offering art exhibits and educational classes. Its various spaces, including the Huffines Performance Hall and a black box theater, make it an ideal locale for an array of events from live music and dance to comedy. To make your way there via I-35E, take exit 452 and proceed east on Main Street. Watch for The Grand on the left side, but be prepared for possible delays due to the pesky road construction intersecting Main Street with I-35E.
