July 2010

June 28 - August 28….“The Antioch Challenge” - One of the most pivotal and dramatic events in the early church is a story that begins in Antioch, and reaches across the centuries into the church today. This drama delves into the intrigue and confrontation which Paul describes in biting detail in the second chapter of his letter to the Galatians. The Apostle Paul was steadfastly uncompromising, and powerfully persuasive as he defended the Gospel before the Lord’s brother, James and the apostles. Had he faltered, the freedom and intimacy of a relationship with Jesus might have been forever buried in the mandates and customs of Jewish Law. Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James stand at the heart of this gripping and thought-provoking story, woven together from evidence within the recorded Scriptures in a new work by playwright, Chip Polk and director, Glenn Polk. All seats reserved. Discounts available for advance purchase and groups. Buy tickets by phone at 1-877-RAGTOWN, or at www.ragtown.com. Ragtown Gospel Theater, Post, Texas; Fridays: 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays: 3 p.m.

July – August 21….TEXAS: Musical Drama in Palo Duro Canyon – A Lone Horseman, carrying the flag of the great state of Texas appears atop a 600 foot cliff, signaling the beginning of the most spectacular outdoor musical drama in the world. With a burst of fireworks and a moving swell of the music, the horseman gallops away. Suddenly, a cast of more than 60 actors, singers and dancers takes the stage to kick off the show that millions of fans from all around the world have come to see. Only a state as big as Texas could host a show as big as TEXAS! The beautiful Pioneer Amphitheatre, carved out of and nestled into a natural basin in the majestic Palo Duro Canyon-the nation’s second largest canyon-comes alive once again this summer with the 43rd Anniversary Season of the Official Play of the State of Texas. In this family-friendly show, set against an authentic tapestry of history, the show’s fictional characters bring to life the stories, struggles and triumphs of the settlers of the Texas Panhandle in the 1800s. Song and dance abound-and a generous helping of good ol’ Texas humor too-with spellbinding lighting, special effects and fireworks. You’ll want to come early and enjoy a delicious steak dinner served by the world-famous Big Texan Ranch on the covered patio. How about a backstage tour to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the show is produced? For more information call 806-655-2181 or visit www.texas-show.com.
