SUMMARY:Oliver!
DESCRIPTION:NTPA Community Theatre presents OLIVER the Musical! \nConsider yourself at home with Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel\, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike. \nThe streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver\, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse\, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit\, the benevolent victim\, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout\, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back\, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family. \nOLIVER is a musical theatre masterpiece\, winner of three Tony Awards and Olivier Awards. Experience the magic of OLIVER and the Tony Award winning score including “Oliver”\, “Consider Yourself” and “As Long as He Needs Me”.

SUMMARY:Finding Joy
DESCRIPTION:A Solo Exhibition by Kelly Steller Hrad \nThis exhibition marks a homecoming for Kelly Steller Hrad—a return to the ArtCentre of Plano\, the space where her journey as a professional artist first began. Through textured\, three-dimensional canvases\, Kelly explores themes of healing\, memory\, and celebration. Finding Joy invites viewers to reflect on their own paths and discover the light that exists even in life’s most complex layers. \nPrevious visitors marveled at the brilliantly vivid paintings by popular visual artist Kelly’s bold paintings that expressed her love of the human spirit through vivid color and expressive line. Since her first exhibition at the ArtCentre\, Kelly has exhibited her paintings throughout Texas and the U.S. and has received a number of private commissions. \nHer distinctive style explores the essence of life itself\, capturing the vibrancy of the human spirit through bold color and expressive line. The result is a visual dialogue that radiates joy\, peace\, and energy from the canvas.

SUMMARY:Mickey & the Motorcars at Love & War in Texas
DESCRIPTION:Love and War in Texas \nCertainly an epic name for what has become an epic restaurant. Love & War in Texas is a restaurant developed by two Texans who believe the philosophy described by Mr. Steinbeck. \nThe concept was created to promote Texas\, Texans\, Texas food and Texas Heritage. You will not find any “smoked salmon” or “Alaskan snow crab” on our menu. Only fresh Texas Gulf seafood\, Texas produce and Texas grown meats… all cooked into authentic Texas recipes. To compliment the cuisine\, L&W has an extensive “all-Texas” wine list and an equally impressive collection of Texas Beers. \nLive Texas music has become a tradition at L&W. Texas singers and songwriters from around the state are finding their way to what is quickly becoming a central gathering place for Texas music and Musicians. \nDoors at 6:30 pm – Show at 8:00 pm \nKitchen is open all day. Come early and grab a seat.
