Texas History
Musicals
Does your town
have a story?
Let us tell it.
Attract
attention
to your historic
downtown
with a custom-
made, original
Texas history
musical.
Texas History Musicals are one-hour,
family-friendly shows with comedy and
live music that tell the unique story of
Texas and your community.
Case study:
Our “Boomtown” performance in Borger,
Texas
In 2014, we produced a musical comedy on the
founding of oil town Borger, Texas. We first
staged it in Austin.
Not long after that, we heard from Hutchinson
County, in the Panhandle. They invited us to perform
the show at the Borger birthday celebration the
following spring.
We rewrote, rehearsed, and got ready to
perform.

We travelled to Borger.
We were very well-received.
(Click the video for more).
The people of Borger got a show about their
community, their town and, in some cases, their
relatives!
