Concerts for a Cause: Brotherhood of the Girl
On Oct. 4, Central Texas Speedway will host a Concert for a Cause at 5:30 p.m. benefitting the Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center. These concerts are a way to raise awareness of and raise money for some of the local-to-Kyle charities that work to make this “simply charming” city an even better place to live. The concert is free but donations are welcome. 100% of the proceeds go to the charity. Central Texas Speedway will have their cash bar open. No outside coolers allowed on property.
‘Boeing Boeing’ at Texas State
Texas State University will put on a production of “BOEING BOEING,” a play directed by Melissa Utley, Oct. 2 – 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. at the PSH Foundation Studio Theatre (430 Moon St. in San Marcos). Tickets are $15. Please contact (512) 245-2147 for more information. In the 1960s, swinging bachelor Bernard couldn’t be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously, timid Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and catastrophe looms in this classic French farce.
