EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens...
a Wimberley treasure BY BONNIE EISSLER
W
hen businesses and schools were closing throughout the state because of the COVID pandemic in March 2020, EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens shut down, too. For nearly a quarter century, residents of Wimberley and surrounding towns in the Texas Hill Country have marked the changing seasons by the highly anticipated seasonal events at the EmilyAnn. As a joyful herald of Spring, the Butterfly Festival rings in the season as surely as do the lush beds of bluebonnets, budding trees, and chirping birds. The Trail of Lights, an illuminated extravaganza that combines the efforts of so many talented people, is a Christmas tradition and many people’s introduction to EmilyAnn. Summer brings hotter longer days, musicals and Shakespeare’s plays on the stage of the large outdoor amphitheater. Now, after two years with no Butterfly Festival and one year with no Trail of Lights, Ann Rolling, the Executive Director and one of the founders, her husband, Norm, who manages the gardens, and their daughter, Rebecca, who maintains the very informative website, are happy to announce “We are back!” and provide details about some of the exciting events planned for 2022.
