CANYON — The TEXAS Outdoor Musical recently announced its upcoming 58th season, with tickets on sale now. The theater company also announced a new series it’s bringing to the outdoor stage this year called “Shakespeare in the Canyon.”
According to a news release, TEXAS will run every Tuesday through Sunday evening from June 6 to Aug. 3. “Shakespeare in the Canyon” will have a more limited run, with shows every Tuesday in July beginning July 9.
“TEXAS Outdoor Musical” is a family-friendly show set against an authentic tapestry of history. The show’s fictional characters bring to life the stories, struggles and triumphs of the settlers of the Texas Panhandle in the 1800s. Song and dance abound – and a generous helping of good ol’ Texas humor, too – with spellbinding lighting and special effects, the release notes. The show takes place every year in the beautiful Pioneer Amphitheater carved out and nestled into the natural basin of Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in the United States.
