COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN Plays City Theatre, Now thru 11/18

By:

COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN will open at Austin's City Theatre next month.

Ed Graczyk’s stirring play set in a small West Texas town dime store where the Disciples of James Dean reunite for the twentieth reunion in honor of their hero’s death. The ladies' reminiscences mingle with flashbacks to their youth when Dean filmed Giant years earlier in nearby Marfa. As the emotions and heat builds, the arrival of a stranger sets off a series of confrontations that smash their delusions and expose bitter disappointments changing their lives forever. 

The show runs tonight, October 25 – November 18, Thursday - Saturday 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 5:30 p.m. The City Theatre, 3823 Airport Blvd. Suite D., Austin, Texas (east corner of Airport Blvd. and 38 ½ Street).

For reservations, call 512-524-2870 or e-mail info@citytheatreaustin.org. General seating $15. Front/2nd Row Reserved $25. Thursday all seats $10. Group and student discounts. For more information, visit www.citytheatreaustin.org.
