ABOUT THE SHOW: On a hot summer afternoon in Maynard, Texas, Elizabeth and her friend Hattie sit out on the front porch folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about small-town secrets.  They are joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee who can’t resist blurting out that Elizabeth’s husband Roy has been seen around town with another woman. While the ensuing conversation is increasingly edged with bitter humor, from it emerges a sense of Elizabeth’s inner strength and her quiet understanding of the turmoil which has beset her husband since his return from Vietnam.

  • The Next Generation Leahy

    Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas
    Music

    As with all forces of nature, the music and energy created by The Next Generation Leahy simply cannot be contained. The drive to create music is powerful within each of the Leahy children. It has given rise to multi-instrumental talents, whose dynamic live performances have been described as “astounding” and “breath-taking.” For the last several years, Next Generation Leahy has performed across North America, and shared the stage with the likes of The Chieftains, We Banjo 3, The Tenors, and Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy. With one CD under their belt, they are working on new material for a new CD to be released in 2019. Belying their young ages, these siblings are all accomplished multi-instrumentalists whose live performances are filled with the high-energy, infectious music associated with the Leahy name. However, not content to play only the music of their Celtic heritage, these musicians explore many genres of music and pull influences from far and wide. Fiddle, cello, French accordion, singing, piano, and French-Canadian step-dancing serve to bring their unique style of music to life. The music that lives in each of these young people - which is so joyful, so positive, and so rare – overflows from them […]
