This Spring, The Globe Theatre at Odessa College ignites our new outdoor amphitheater + returns to The Globe stage with an exciting reimagining of one of Shakespeare’s most thrilling adventures, Cymbeline.
One of Shakespeare’s final works, Cymbeline presents a bold, spirited take on his familiar themes of forbidden romance, betrayal, and the mayhem of war, blending tragedy, combat, fantasy, and broad comedy into a plot filled with twists and turns – all centering on the courageous princess Imogen.
The Globe’s production will include expressive choreography, riveting music, explosive battle scenes, and a narrator to guide audiences through an exciting, vibrant tale filled with elements of fairy tale romance and epic adventure.
AND (!!!) Cymbeline will be designed for two rotating, repertory experiences! One night we’ll perform OUTDOORS on the grounds of the new OC Amphitheater + the next evening we’ll move INSIDE The Globe Theatre’s historic stage.
*** Please note that seating for outdoor performances is not typical. The play moves everyone around through multiple spaces. Audience members are encouraged to dress for that evening’s expected weather. ***

Chris Cagle
2025-04-05 19:00 - 22:00 | The Ector Theatre, 500 N. Texas, Odessa, TX, 79761, United States
Born in De Ridder, LA and raised in Houston, TX, Chris Cagle is an American Country Music Artist. He moved to Nashville in 1994.

While in Nashville, the struggling Artist held down several jobs: nanny, waiter, prep chef and golf caddy, among many others. During that time, he signed a publishing deal with Caliber Music. He had his first song, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out”, cut by David Kersh within 8 months of signing his deal, but he wanted more. He wanted to be an Artist.

That dream came true in 2000 when he signed to Virgin Records. Cagle co-wrote and co-produced his debut Gold record, Play It Loud, which produced a top 10 single, “My Love Goes On & On”, a top 5 single “Laredo” and the #1 single, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out”.

His self-titled sophomore project debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and is certified Gold, as well as yielding two Top 5 singles: “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It”.

Cagle penned additional albums that brought more success with hits like “Miss Me Baby”, What Kinda Gone”, “Got My Country On”, “Let There Be Cowgirls” and “Country By The Grace Of God”.

Nominated for New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music and Voted CMT’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2002, it is the stage where Cagle has always shined the brightest. His passion for the performance of music is a rare find, and this Artist isn’t afraid of giving everything he has to his fans.

Michael Feinstein in Because of You My Tribute to Tony Bennett featuring the Carnegie Hall Big Band - Free Event
2025-03-29 19:30 | Midland College Chaparral Center, 3600 N. Garfield, Midland, TX
The Phyllis and Bob Cowan Performing Arts Series presents Michael Feinstein as he brings to life Big Band Celebrations and the Tony Bennett legacy. Supported by the Carnegie Hall Big Band, Feinstein pays a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Tony Bennett, bringing his iconic songs to life in a symphony of sound.
Free Event
Because of the geneous endowment bestowed to Midland College by the late Phyllis and Bob Cowan, this event is FREE. Tickets are not required for general admission seating. Preferred seating is available for Friends of the Series and Midland College Distinguished Donors ($1,000 minimum donation in 2025). Contact the Midland College Foundation, (432) 685-4526, for more information about preferred seating opportunities.
About the Performance
The performance will feature hits such as “Because of You,” “Rags to Riches,” “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” “The Best is Yet To Come,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Stranger in Paradise” and many more. Feinstein’s dynamic interpretations, coupled with the grandeur of the big band, will create an unforgettable night that honors the legacy of Tony Bennett in all its glory.
Michael Feinstein’s close friendship with Tony Bennett adds a profound layer to this tribute, as their camaraderie brings authenticity and depth to each note performed. Not only does Feinstein’s masterful interpretation of Bennett’s timeless repertoire pay homage to an era of classic songwriting, but it also preserves the rich cultural heritage that these songs represent.
The show also brings to bear the history of Carnegie Hall, which has been connected to the American big band for decades. Icons from across the 20th and 21st centuries have graced the stage of Carnegie Hall, from Benny Goodman to Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong to Ella Fitzgerald and from Frank Sinatra to, of course, Tony Bennett. A multi-media element of the show will help to bring this history to life onstage.
“Tony Bennett is one of the most enduring icons of the 20th century. He has created a body of work surpassed by none.” – Michael Feinstein
(This show is not affiliated with the Tony Bennett Estate.)
