Hands on a HardBody

Directed by: Jeff Johnson
Dates:  May 5-22, 2022
Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:30 pm.
For 10 hard-luck Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on end, armed with nothing but hope, humor and ambition, they'll fight to keep at least one hand on a brand-new truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest that is Hands on a Hardbody only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. Inspired by the true events of the acclaimed 1997 documentary of the same name by S.R. Bindler, produced by Kevin Morris and Bindler.

The SLT Summer Youth Program Returns

StepsisterS

Directed by:  James Clarke & Jennifer Pendleton
Program Dates:  Monday, June 20 - Sunday July 31, 2022
Performances:  Thursday, July 28 - Sunday, July 31, 2022
Everybody knows the Brothers Grimm’s most famous fairy tale. But what if they told it from the wrong point of view? Stepsisters tells the totally-true-and-not-at-all-made-up version of the little cinder girl. When Drew and Beth are thrown into the dungeon for conspiring against the throne, these stepsisters, who are not wicked, evil, and certainly not ugly, are forced to tell their fellow prisoners the real story of what happened with Cinderella.
