Read excerpt
In the heart of the Permian Basin, 5,000 miles from where William Shakespeare originally penned his plays, an Odessa replica of his premier theater brings the bard’s classics to West Texas.

History Comes Alive on a Weekend Getaway in San Elizario (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Say what you will about Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds’ The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but consider this: I am hard-pressed to find any other movie that so perfectly mashes together so much of our state’s culture: the proud rural identity, UT vs. A&M football, state politics and the governor, big-city television personalities, even bigger hair, country sheriffs, sex, love, showoffs, and scoundrels. <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-
