A double-billed evening on Wednesday, November 19th!
Nature of Things presents a screening of David Byrne’s TRUE STORIES and a ONE NIGHT ONLY exhibition titled “No Jugglers. No Mimes. No Musicians. No Rock Bands.” featuring artwork by Mia Ardito, Harrod Blank, Kristen Cochran, Casey Leone, and Willard “The Texas Kid” Watson!
This story takes place in Virgil, Texas. In fact, it is many stories. Ones you may have read about in the Weekly World News or other supermarket tabloids. And what if they were true? Maybe they are. One character is a country singer desperately seeking matrimony. Another character hasn’t left her bed since we don’t know when. One woman can’t help but lie about everything (she stole a spaceship). And everyone is ready to celebrate the State’s Sesquicentennial, which really does take place in 1986. True Story.
