Welcome To The Rose

Posted 06/28/2009

One of Bastrop's most intriguing historical landmarks, the Rose Theatre was built in 1927 on the Courthouse Square as a venue for the traveling vaudeville shows and silent movies of the era. The facility was later converted to a movie theater, but closed in the 1970's. After being closed for over a decade the Rose's doors reopened to the public in 1986 with a presentation of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” Many successful seasons have followed, filled with delightful community theatre performances, children's summer workshops, musical extravaganzas, and many more activities and events. The theatre's emphasis is on family entertainment and fun --- and providing a showcase for the many talented residents of the region.

Our 2010-2011 season is listed below and on our calendar. Please have a look around our website and be sure to join us as we present our best season ever!

Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. “The Dixie Swim Club” focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.  Sheree, the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and ‘perfect’ life, and continues to be the group’s leader.  Dinah, the wise-cracking overachiever, is a career dynamo. But her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her  personal life.  Lexie, pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible.  She enjoys being married – over and over and over again.  The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos.  And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise.  As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them.  And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of ‘teamwork’, rally ‘round their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction.  “The Dixie Swim Club” is the story of these five unforgettable women -  a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever…
