A Paramount Production

The Paramount Theatre, which has many ties to McMurry, has a show coming up worth checking out:


 Paramount Productions presents the return of  “A Texas Christmas Carol,” an original adaptation of the classic Dickens story by Paramount Artistic Director Barry Smoot.  This Texas-themed take on the traditional story is billed as “a Christmas tale of greed, ghosts, and really spicy chili.”   It features an ensemble cast of actors each playing multiple roles, assisted by an alt/folk/bluegrass band that adds traditional and original music to the tale.  This is certainly an uplifting and inspirational holiday theatrical event for the entire family.  


December 16-18, 7:30pm
Tickets are general admission at $15 for adults and $10 for students, seniors, military, and children. 
To order tickets by phone call our business office weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm at (325) 676-9620.

A Winning Tradition

Another McMurry student has won the Texas Educational Theatre Association's Playfest competition!

Kathryn Ballinger wrote her play Things We Can't Untie for this past spring's Playwriting class, and submitted it to TETA, with wonderful results.

Our theatre department will have the chance to stage this short production at TETA's annual Theatrefest gathering in January, in Houston, Texas

Things We Can't Untie will be presented again, with three other plays chosen by Charlie Hukill, from the Playwriting class, in April.

Be on the look out for more information regarding this play.

Read some of the press about her impressive win!
