Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smoothly, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.

This year, we have decided to support our Central Texas neighbors in West, TX who were devastated by an explosion at a fertilizer plant on April 17, 2013.
Please join us to raise money to help our friends and families in West rebuild!
The three local foundations Cooper, Rapoport, and Waco have coordinated together to establish The West, Texas Disaster Relief Efforts Fund, to be housed at Waco Foundation. This fund is for the sole benefit of the victims and relief efforts of the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion that took place on Wednesday evening, April 17. The Foundations are in the process of communicating with City of West officials to determine an appropriate West representative that can advise the allocation of resources based on the community’s highest needs. The Rapoport Foundation has made a lead gift of $20,000 to the fund in order to encourage the Waco community to be the leading contributors in support of our neighbors in West.
Event will be at Titan Fitness 201-B N. Hewitt Dr. Hewitt Tx 76643 on May 18th at 9am! Call 254-666-6016 for more info
