What's going on in East Texas this weekend? March 22-24

East Texas has no shortage of fun, entertaining, and even educational things to do. When you have your weekend days off,? you can find something great? to do locally to save your gas money and support local business!

Tyler - March 22 at Liberty Theater? at 7:30pm. From LibertyTyler.com: The 39 Steps" is the two-time Tony Award-winning hit show in its THIRD YEAR IN NEW YORK, which continues to be an audience-pleaser. The amazingly brilliant cast of 4 plays over 140 characters in this fast-paced romp that's great fun for ages 9 to 90. The New York Times calls it "Absurdly Enjoyable."
What you will see?is an incredibly fast-paced romp through the story of Hitchcock?s film.? It is a pastiche, an affectionate and very funny transposition of the film on to the stage. The film contains set pieces that are iconic: the train top chase, the Forth Bridge escape, Mr Memory at the Palladium. Much of the joy in the show is in seeing these moments recreated through the physicality and vocal talent of the 4 performers.

It is also an evocative tribute to a 1930s Britain of cold mists, steam engines and a clearly demarcated social system where people know their place. And at its center, juxtaposed with the comedy, is a love story.
