    Paris, 1643. Durante is a charming young man newly arrived in town, and he has but one flaw: he cannot tell the truth. In quick succession, he meets Cliton, a manservant who cannot tell a lie, and falls in love with Clarice, whom he mistakes for her friend Lucrece. From all these misunderstandings springs one of the Western world's greatest comedies, a sparkling romance as fresh as the day Pierre Corneille wrote it, brilliantly adapted for today by David Ives.

    From 8:30 pm - 11:00 pm at The Backyard Bar Stage and Grill, 1135, 511 S 8th St, Waco, TX 76706, USA

    After almost a decade as a major-label artist, prolific Nashville hitmaker Jerrod Niemann has put his heart on his sleeve like never before with the patriotic anthem, "Old Glory." Describing the resolute ballad as "100 percent heart, zero percent politics," the singer-songwriter wrote the track in honor of U.S. soldiers following the 2017 Tongo Tongo ambush in Niger. A veteran of multiple USO Tours, Niemann knew how much those heroes were willing to sacrifice in the name of duty - from missing their children's first steps and soccer games to holidays, anniversaries and so much more. He performed "Old Glory" live for the first time during that year's USO Holiday Tour, and is now bringing it to the American public. Also in 2017, Niemann dug deep into his journey for critically-acclaimed album THIS RIDE - his first for Curb Records which includes the feel-good jam, "I Got This," the uplifting duet "A Little More Love" (with Lee Brice) and the classy romance of "God Made a Woman." Known for clever wordplay and attention-grabbing lyrics, the engaging singer-songwriter topped Country charts with his PLATINUM-certified anthem "Drink to That All Night," a multi-week #1 from the 2014 album HIGH NOON - on which he co-wrote eight of the 12 tracks. Niemann first burst onto the scene in 2010 with his #1 major-label debut, JUDGE JERROD & THE HUNG JURY, which skyrocketed on the strength of his PLATINUM-certified #1 smash "Lover, Lover" and GOLD-certified Top 5 "What Do You Want." His second release, FREE THE MUSIC, included Top 15 "Shinin' On Me" and poignant ballad "Only God Could Love You More." From Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association and CMT Award nominations, to headlining and touring with some of Country's hottest acts - Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban - Niemann continues to make his mark by creatively pushing boundaries while still offering a sincere nod to the legends before him.

    The Early Days

    Lisa was born in Tyler, TX and at the age of 3 moved to Dallas, TX. She began singing professionally at the tender age of 4 Lisa worked shows with her Dad, who is a professional musician, on and off thru her school years.

    Lisa formed her first band “Beaver Creek” just after high school. She was the lead vocalist and played Bass Guitar. This ultimately led to her being noticed by, Vince Vance and The Valiants. Lisa worked the road with them from 1986 - 1991. During that time they recorded the Christmas hit "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU" with Lisa as the lead vocalist. Today it is recognized as the #5 most requested Christmas song of all time.

    The Nashville Days

    Lisa moved to Nashville. and joined a very successful Beach Music Band and toured with them until 1995. In early '93 Lisa won the role of Patsy Cline in the first National Tour of a "Closer Walk With Patsy Cline”. She toured with that troupe for the better part of 2 years before joining the Nashville Troupe as the lead in the same show at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop’s “Texas Troubadour Theater” from '98 thru 2000.

    In 2005 Lisa was inducted along with Vince Vance and Valiants into the Louisiana music Hall of fame.

    In 2005 she re-recorded “All I Want For Chirstmas Is You” on a full length Christmas album accompanied by the World Famous Jordanaires on all twelve songs.

    On To Branson

    In early 2005 Lisa moved to Branson to perform on the Jim Owen Show which opened the door to the Lisa Layne Show.

    From 2005-2007 Lisa and her husband produced the Lisa Layne Country show where they performed at the God and Country Theater, 10 shows a week.

    In 2008-2011, due to the work as Patsy Cline back in Nashville, they had the opportunity to produce and perform the Ted Swindley production of Always Patsy Cline back at the God and Country Theater. This show won the “Branson Show Awards” Best Live Musical in both 2010 and 2011 as well as Lisa receiving the Female Vocalist of the Year in 2010.

    In 2011 they closed the Always Patsy Cline production in Branson and moved back home to Texas, closer to her mom.

    Today In Texas

    In 2011 back in Texas Lisa formed the band “Lisa Layne and One Layne Road”, focusing on recording and performing music at festivals, fairs, corporate events, casinos and good ole Texas dance halls.

    In 2016-2017 Lisa was awarded the Will Rogers Pure Country Female Vocalist of the year by the Academy of Western Artists.

    Most recently Lisa and the band have opened for Restless Heart, Bobby Flores as well as headlining at the Texas State Fair, National Corgi Dog Show and the Penny Gilley Show on RFD TV.

    Gene Watson (country)
    From 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm at Waco Hippodrome Theatre, 724 Austin Ave, Waco, TX 76701, USA

    Tickets cost $29-$69.

    One of the most masterful voices in Country Music today, GENE WATSON still sings in the same key as 30 years ago and continues to prove why he is rightly referred to as “The Singer’s Singer”. His powerful voice and multi-octave range allows him to sing some of the most challenging songs with an ease that comes from pure, natural talent as well as from his many years performing onstage.

    On his most recent album release, Real.Country.Music., the 72 year- old Watson once again proves he’s the master of classic country music. He remains defiantly country in the face of today’s more pop oriented offerings and is proud his legions of fans rely on him to keep traditional country music alive and well. With that in mind, Gene delved back into history to pull out some overlooked gems in other artist’s catalogs as well as a few of his own songs that are fan favorites but are no longer available. As Gene noted, “Today’s songwriters are not really writing the kind of songs fans of serious classic country are wanting. Traditional country is about life, heartaches, loves and family. I’ve got to relate to the words as something that either happened to me or happened to someone I know. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around a song that’s simply about riding a tractor or just drinking beer with friends. I want more out of a song. So I went back to some classic songwriters like Kris Kristofferson, Larry Gatlin, Bill Anderson, Keith Whitley, Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran and Dave Kirby – just to name a few of the greats.”

    Letter Carriers’ “Stamp-Out Hunger” Food Drive
    From 6:00 am - 6:00 pm at McLennan County, TX, USA

    Letter Carriers’ “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive to Benefit Local Food Pantries

    As part of the 27th annual “Stamp-Out Hunger” food drive, McLennan County, Texas, letter carriers will be joining forces with the National Association of Letter Carriers on Saturday, May 11th, for the largest one-day food drive in the nation. The drive assists millions of families in the United States who are struggling to put food on their tables every day. In the Waco-McLennan County area, letter carriers will be collecting non-perishable food donations to help people served by Caritas of Waco, the Salvation Army and Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry. This drive is one way people can assist those in their own city who need help.

    This year Wal-mart is partnering with “Stamp-Out Hunger” by providing paper bags that letter carriers will leave at each mailbox prior to May 11th and which can be used for food donations.

    To participate in the “Stamp-Out Hunger” Food Drive, households are encouraged to place non-perishable food items such as canned vegetables, canned meats, pasta/sauces, rice, cereal, peanut butter, dry beans, rice, macaroni & cheese, baby food, etc., in bags and leave them next to their mailbox prior to their regular mail delivery time on Saturday, May 11. Letter carriers will then collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and will provide them to Caritas, the Salvation Army and Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry for distribution to people in need.

    In the past, letter carriers in the Waco-McLennan County area have collected over 50,000 pounds of non-perishable food which makes this drive one of the largest food collection efforts in the community.

    For more information, call Jerrod Perry, United States Postal Service, at 254-709-1094.

    The “Stamp-Out Hunger” Food Drive takes place this Saturday, May 11th. All that you need to do is to place non-perishable food items, such as canned vegetables, canned meats, cereal, peanut butter, etc., in the Walmart paper bag left by your letter carrier and place it next to your mailbox prior to your regular mail delivery time on Saturday. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and will provide them to Caritas, the Salvation Army and Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry for distribution to people in need. Thanks for your help!

    On May 11, 1953 at about 4:30 in the afternoon a terrible tornado swept through downtown Waco with winds so strong almost 200 buildings were either destroyed outright or were damaged to the point that they later had to be torn down. 114 lives were lost. For this walk Eric Ames from Baylor University will retrace the path of the tornado through downtown and share some of the facts, stories and legends associated with the terrible storm. Please join us as we remember and learn about the tornado that shaped Waco’s history.

    Date: May 11

    Time: 4 PM

    Location: The Tornado Memorial at the intersection of 4th and Austin.

    Walk Length: Approximately 2.5 miles

    Organizer: Eric Ames

    Got questions?: Please contact Eric Ames by email at Eric_Ames@baylor.edu

    Accessibility: Most of the walk will be on sidewalks and city streets, but you may need to negotiate a few curbs and a few grassy patches.

    Hydration: Please bring your own water.

    Dogs: Doggies are welcome, but they MUST be on a leash and you MUST come prepared to scoop the poop!

    Weather/Cancellation Plan: We plan to walk rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, bring an umbrella. In the event that it is a terrible storm or something happens and we have to cancel, we will send out a note to the email list. To subscribe to the email list, click here: http://eepurl.com/cG7kdj.

    The Mobros
    “Who are we, and where do we go from here?” These were the questions on the minds of Kelly and Patrick Morris in late 2016. After bringing to an end a long but successful two and a half year tour, playing venues and music halls from small to large from coast to coast including festivals such as SXSW (twice), Midpoint Music Festival, Sweetwater 420 fest to name a few, and recording a live session with Daytrotter. Garnering new fans and attention from various press outlets along the way they averaged over 250 shows a year all in support of their 2014 debut release “Walking With A Different Stride.”

    In the midst of it all, they found themselves coming to terms with the fact that they were not progressing in the ways they felt they needed to with their songwriting, and recording. Between being on the road and living in Chicago it was hard to find a permanent place to work and move forward with their music in the ways they wanted to do.

    The brothers packed up and headed back to their home state of South Carolina to find a space conducive to living, writing, and recording without the limitations and pressures of time and money that commercial studios usually entail. They needed a home, somewhere to recuperate and hone the sound and conceptive direction they wanted to take with their next release. They found themselves looking in the city Charleston, SC, two hours south of their hometown of Camden, and a place they had spent some time between tours in 2014.

    A year later they emerge with a collection of songs that embody the writing and production style developed during their time spent at “Leon’s Electric House.” These works follow suit with challenging the same questions they have asked themselves “Who are we, and Where do we go from here?” The first single off the upcoming release is entitled “Carrie Anne.”

    Leslie Jordan (actor) at the Hippodrome
    From 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm at Waco Hippodrome Theatre, 724 Austin Ave, Waco, TX 76701, USA

    Tickets cost $19-$49.

    Leslie Jordan is one of the most consistently recognizable faces in popular entertainment. His journey towards stardom has provided one of the quirkier, impressive, and varied career trajectories of the past few decades.

    His arrival in Hollywood back in 1982 (with $1500 sewn into his clothing by his steel magnolia Mother) was the starting point. After a brief career as a jockey, Jordan has enjoyed the full show-business spectrum; the lean days, the bumps in the road, the acclaim, reaching the pinnacle of television performing with award recognition, the ensuing victory laps, followed by an alarming and unexpected down slope, the dangers of being type cast or stereotyped, the challenges to remain “current” and “relevant” in a rapidly changing world of technological advancement, and the ever present threat of being put “out to pasture” by a youth obsessed culture and industry.

    Through it all, Leslie Jordan has remained constant, relevant and – above all – funny! His ability to take it all in stride has kept him moving onward, upward and forward!

    Leslie Jordan is the prestigious Emmy Award winner in 2006 for “Will & Grace”. He has enjoyed rapturous reviews for his original stage plays (“My Trip down the Pink Carpet”, “Stories I can’t tell Mama”, “Fruit Fly”), and supporting presence in one of Hollywood’s most prestigious, message-minded films of the last decade (“The Help”, 2012).

    He’s been singled out with great notices for his off-Broadway musical theatre debut in 2011 (“The Lucky Guy”). His defining role as “Brother Boy” in the cult film sensation “Sordid Lives” evolved into a well received prequel on the Logo Channel. As the celebrated author and star of his own HBO Special (“Pink Carpet”); Leslie Jordan remains consistently sought after as a Guest Star on every imaginable form of episodic, comedic television (TV Land’s “The Ex’es”, Fox’s “Raising Hope”, Disney Channel’s “Shake It Up!”, and ABC’s “The Neighbors”. He enjoyed a star turn in the third season of FX’s instant classic “American Horror Story” opposite Hollywood heavyweights Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson and Francis Conroy.

    Additionally, he recently appeared as a cast member/house occupant in the smash reality competition “Celebrity Big Brother UK”.

    In 2017, Leslie Jordan again sparred with his lovable nemesis “Karen Walker” as a guest actor in the triumphant return of NBC’s “Will & Grace”, and is currently in Spain, filming Season 2 of “Living the Dream” for SkyTV/UK. In 2018, FOX Television announced that Leslie Jordan will star alongside comedy heavyweights Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence, and David Alan Grier in the new comedy series “The Cool Kids”, set to premiere on FOX in the Fall of 2018..

    Leslie Jordan has conquered the international stage with sold out runs in Mexico, Canada and the U.K., and remains an in-demand mainstay as a Stage / TV / Film performer, voice-over artist, fund raiser, spokesperson, out artist, equal rights activist and all around Southern Baptist celebutante.
