Based on the book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling, with music by Frank Loesser, the LCT production is directed by Travis Burge.

He had the horse right here, but all she wanted was his love!

Witness "Guys & Dolls Jr.", based on a true classic that many have touted as the perfect musical comedy, presented in a style that is at once fresh, new and exciting while still holding on to what makes this show great.

See good old, reliable Nathan Detroit, as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck. Observe with pity and pathos as his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, as she laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years without ever getting married.

Thrill with delight as Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, only for Sky to end up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown.

"Guys and Dolls Jr." takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students (with ID) and seniors (plus taxes and fees) and may be purchased online at www.lubbockcommunitytheatre.org

Alamo hosting 'Selena' movie party

Join Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock at a special Movie Party as we celebrate the life and music of one of America’s most beloved icons, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.

The movie party is scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday, June 12.

Sure, we could just sit quietly and watch the magnificent 1997 film "Selena", starring Jennifer Lopez in a star-making performance. But we think the best way to honor Selena is to share in the joy of her music.

Whether you want to sing along or use any of the fun props we’ll have available when you arrive, you are strongly encouraged to lose yourself in all of Selena's classic songs while you enjoy the film. So throw on a rhinestone bra... oops, we mean bustier, and join us for a fun-filled night full of bidi bidi bom bom.

Tickets for this movie party are $15.15 and available in advance online at drafthouse.com/lubbock/event/movie-party-selena

Alamo presents 'A Star is Born' brunch

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is hosting a special brunch screening of the classic "A Star is Born" at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, June 12.

One of the four iterations of "A Star is Born" (among countless variations of the same story), George Cukor's 1954 iteration stands a cut above the rest. Such a lofty statement can only be attributed to the singular brilliance of Judy Garland's central performance.

As Esther Blodgett, Garland takes the role of the rising ingenue amidst her partner Norman Maine's (James Mason) personal and creative downfall. Levying the interpersonal drama with a cavalcade of show-stopping musical numbers, "A Star is Born" cements itself as one of the great snapshots of stardom and the history of its own making.

Tickets for this event, which features a special menu, are $10 and available online in advance at drafthouse.com/lubbock/event/a-star-is-born-1954-brunch

Alamo to feature series of Carpenter films

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is hosting the Summer of Darkness, a retrospective on one of the greatest movie masters of horror, John Carpenter.

His oft-bleak, wry, and impeccably crafted pop gems ran through an increasingly conservative 1980s, leaving a trail of cinematic carnage in its wake. This year, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Alamo will celebrate some of his finest in grand fashion. Join us for Summer of Darkness and receive a free custom-designed letterpress poster, while supplies last.

Next in the series is the 1980 film "The Fog." In 1980, Carpenter was under pressure. Where do you go after unleashing "Halloween", the most ground-breaking horror movie since "Psycho"?

Well, you go to Stonehenge with your girlfriend and producer, Debra Hill. You see some fog. You say, "Boy, I sure do like lighthouses and ghosts. Boats, too. Let's make a movie!" And so they did. "The Fog" is set during the centennial of an isolated coastal town with an evil secret.

The movie will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, at Alamo. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased in advance online at drafthouse.com/lubbock/show/the-fog

Cactus hosts Texas Blues legend

Texas Blues legend Jimmie Vaughan is set to perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18, at the Cactus Theater.

Special guest opener for the show will be Lubbock’s own John Sprott and Ron Riley.

Last fall, to help celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the first of the "Blues, Ballads and Favourites" albums, "The Pleasure's All Mine" compiled both albums as a collection and was released alongside a Vinyl reissue of 2016's "Jimmie Vaughan Trio" featuring Mike Flanigin LIVE AT C-BOY'S release, which featured songs recorded at the venerable Austin nightspot that Vaughan and crew call home when they are in town.

In 2019, his newest release, "Baby, Please Come Home" brought him back into the spotlight with yet another Grammy nomination, and a Blues Foundation Award for Best Male Artist.

Featuring an all-star cast, including Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest and Hank Azaria, and crafted by the brilliant comedic minds of Mike Nichols and Elaine May, this outrageous farce remains a hilarious and cherished staple of LGBTQIA cinema that has charmed audiences of all backgrounds.

Based on the riotous French play Les Cage Aux Folles, the film follows a gay cabaret owner (Robin Williams) and his drag queen partner (Nathan Lane) who pretend to be straight so that their son can comfortably introduce them to his fiancée’s moralistic parents. The mayhem that follows is as side-splitting as it is touching, resulting in a beautiful reminder that everyone deserves to be their authentic selves.

Tickets for this event, which features a special menu, are $10 and may be purchased in advance online at drafthouse.com/lubbock/event/the-birdcage-brunch

Alamo hosting 'Goonies' movie party

Heyyy youuuuu ggguuuyyss!!!! We're watching "The Goonies."

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is hosting a "Goonies" movie party at 6 p.m. Sunday, June 19.

Let’s face it, "The Goonies" never gets old (and they never say “die”). With its endearing cast of quirky kids and a plot filled with swashbuckling adventure, it serves as the ultimate fantasy for anyone who feels stuck in the mundane humdrum of everyday life.

Now it’s your chance to be a Goonie. Join us for a rollicking movie party and we’ll give you everything you need to join the gang, including a pirate eye patch, a marble bag filled with pirate treasure, a bandana, and a fun-sized Baby Ruth, of course.

Alamo hosts 'Indiana Jones' brunch

This time, he's bringing his dad.

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is hosting an "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" brunch at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 19.

If you learned anything from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it's that Nazis are bad dudes, and, after a pulse-pounding prologue that gives us a compressed "Young Adventures of Indiana Jones", they are right back at it.

When Indy's father goes mysteriously missing, a rich art collector puts our whip-snapping, fedora-wearing hero on the case. Following in his father's footsteps, Indy reveals a sinister plot and must save his father from a Nazi kidnapping while avoiding the tempestuous allure of an extremely blue-eyed, blond-haired lady.

Tickets for this event, which features a special menu, are $10 and available online in advance at drafthouse.com/lubbock/event/indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-brunch

Glenn Miller Orchestra to perform at Cactus

The world-famous Glenn Miller Orchestra is scheduled to perform live at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 22, at the Cactus Theater.

The first Glenn Miller Orchestra did not make it at all. It was a total and absolute economic failure. But Glenn knew what he wanted, held to that dedication and relentlessly worked to succeed. He launched his second band — the one that lives on today — in March of 1938. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been a “hit” ever since.

Miller disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. It went to Europe to entertain servicemen performing numerous live and radio shows. On Dec. 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later.

With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Reserved seat tickets include: First four rows (A-D), $25; remainder of floor and balcony, $22.50; and balcony box (includes concessions), $45.

“I’ve been blessed with a lifetime of brilliant, talented, colorful, electrical, magical folks throughout my life,” Keen said. “It’s with a mysterious concoction of joy and sadness that I want to tell you that as of Sept. 4, 2022, I will no longer tour or perform publicly.”

Tickets for this show range from $46.50 to $84.50 (plus taxes and fees), depending on seating.
