Let Us Entertain You

The rolling hills are alive with the many sounds of music this summer and it is time to consider a trip to Brenham to attend one of many musical events.

Unity Theatre, our next door neighbor, is performing, Little Mary Sunshine, a spoof of old-time operettas, of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, of favorites like “Rose Marie” and “Naughty Marietta.”  It’s not modern.  It’s not edgy.  It is a sweet story poking fun at other sweet stories.  It is showing for 3 weeks, 4 times a week, from June 9-26.  Go to www.unitybrenham.org for more info.  Ticket sale begins May 30.

Round Top’s Festival Institute will be celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary with concerts beginning June 11 and running through July 16.  This internationally acclaimed European styled music institute for aspiring young musicians will feature orchestra and chamber music concerts in their beautiful concert hall in Round Top, a short drive from Brenham.  http://www.festivalhill.org for tickets.

For those looking for a laid back atmosphere, bring your lawn chairs to Brenham’s courthouse square for their annual Hot Nights, Cool Tunes- free street concerts Saturdays in July at 7:00 pm.   Go to www. downtownbrenham.com for the lineup of bands.
