“Roister Doister is none but a scoundrel, a fool, and a lout!” Joyously the “Not-Just-One-More-Time-Players” bring his story to the stage in the daniels & Son Theatre Company’s production of Nicholas Udall’s, Ralph Roister Doister, adapted for the modern stage by Schulenburg’s I. E. Clark.
This high energy, physical comedy, written in 1563, was the first play written in the English language. Not to worry, the cadre of calamitous comedians under the field direction of theatrical commando john daniels, jr. blow the dust off the pages, take a defibrillator to its heart and push it through the automatic car wash.
“What’s not to like about a love story between neighbors, neighbors who don’t really know each other? Neighbors who don’t even like each other and the ‘friend for hire’ that makes it all impossible,” says daniels pulling his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and cutting his eyes back and forth in a paranoid fashion. The director continues in a whisper, “Not to mention rebellious servants, gung-ho servants, apathetic servants, egotistical servants and lascivious servants.”
The Not-Just-One-More-Time-Players are Matt Torrez, Michael McGary, Megan Mossman, Caitlyn Goodwin, Shelby Jones, Amanda Wallace, Virginia Haladyna, and Kody Dyer.

Christmas Musical Fridays and Saturdays $10 adults, $8 seniors, $7 students; $5 (age 14 and under) American Rock and Roll Christmas ’57 is a new musical set in Bastrop, Texas during the 125th celebration of the founding of Bastrop. The action takes place over the two days prior to The Main Street Christmas Parade and Opera House Christmas Pageant, and during the parade and pageant. Change is in the air for America and Bastrop, so is romance and uncertainty. Christmas Carols, beat poetry, rock-a-billy music, wise-crackers, new romance, pseudo-heartbreak and literacy all lead to the pageant. The pageant is eclectic, starring local groups and individuals performing gags, songs, dances and routines, rejoicing in the season and the city. There are the blue jeans, leather jackets, colorful hair ribbons and poodle skirts as well as the traditional Victorian dress worn during the Christmas pageant itself. By the end of American Rock-n-Roll Christmas ’57 everyone is happy. There is hope for the future and pleasure in the present. With historical perspective, the innocence of these times can be appreciated and punctuated by the sprit of the people and the sound track that begins a new age.
