Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Thursday, July 31st at 7:30 pm Event Image
This happy-go-lucky view of small-town vice and state-wide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the better pleasure palaces in all of Texas. The rural community of Gilbert has long tolerated, secretly relished, and certainly patronised Miss Mona’s cosy homelike bordello. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams-sponsored by an alumnus-frequented the Chicken Ranch until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focused his television cameras and righteous indignation on the institution. Ticket price includes a $2 donation.
Tickets:
      $10.00(at the door)
Students (18 & Under) Tickets:

The Wonder Bread Years

Saturday, August 16th at 7:00 pm Event Image
Pat Hazell grew up eating sugar cereals and drinking directly from the Kool-Aid pitcher when his mom wasn’t looking. Now he gets paid to do it. God bless Americana. The Wonder Bread Years, a one-man show & tell, evolved from the realization that people have many more things in common than they have differences. The show’s strong sense of American pop culture earned it an invitation to represent the United States at the Vancouver International Comedy Festival! Showtime declared him "One of the five funniest people in America". Hazell was one of the four original writers for the NBC series "Seinfeld" and also served as Jerry Seinfeld’s opening act when on tour.
