Giselle. Russian National Ballet Theatre...
Moscow’s Russian National Ballet Theatre comes to Lufkin for a beautifully-staged version of the most celebrated ballet of the Romantic era -- the intoxicating Giselle, with music by Adolphe Adam.
Giselle is the dramatic story of a peasant girl whose betrayal by her aristocratic lover causes her to go mad. Her tragic death is followed by a ghostly resurrection. The ballet creates its own world of mystery, beauty, and danger. Audiences will be captivated by this company of 50 dancers, the glorious score, the Petipa choreography (after the original Perrot/Coralli) and the sumptuous scenery and costumes.
The Russian National Ballet Theatre has toured throughout Europe, Asia, and the U.S. and returns to the Temple Theater after well-received productions of Swan Lake (2fff) and The Sleeping Beauty (2009).

Bus Stop. Montana Repertory Theatre...
A lot can happen in a single night - particularly at a roadside diner in a small Kansas town, where a busload of stranded passengers waits out a snowstorm. Playwright William Inge’s warm and affecting comedy is full of fascinating characters, like the nightclub chanteuse Cherie, and Bo, the belligerent cowboy determined to take her home. With laughter, tears, and the melancholy of simple souls yearning for something more, Montana Rep’s production is sure to reveal why this play is a beloved American classic.
Montana Rep has toured nationally since 1996. Lufkin audiences have seen the company’s beautiful and touching productions of The Trip to Bountiful (2fff) and To Kill a Mockingbird (2009).
