Thank you for joining us! We’re excited to be midway through our 24/25 performing arts season featuring pioneering performances from both iconic and emerging artists. This season we’ve put together a dynamic lineup that pushes the boundaries of traditional performing arts, offering innovative experiences from creators who are boldly redefining their fields.
Looking ahead, we have even more adventurous live performances on the horizon spanning music, dance, theatre, and immersive experiences. The TPA x Fusebox series continues this spring with four cutting-edge projects you won’t want to miss. We’re also thrilled to introduce our next artist-in-residence project, Postcards from the Border, by Austin songwriter Carrie Rodriguez, novelist Oscar Cásares, and photographer Joel Salcido. Explore the spring lineup and all that we have to offer at texasperformingarts.org.
The 24/25 TPA season complements the always-popular Broadway in Austin series—this year is our biggest yet with ten shows direct from Broadway—and our Texas Welcomes series of concerts, comedy, and family entertainment. We hope you can join us often to share in the magic of great performances.
Let’s start the show!

Postcards from the Border was commissioned by and developed in residence at Texas Performing Arts at The University of Texas at Austin.
The creation of Postcards from the Border was made possible with funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from the Mellon Foundation and additional support from the Doris Duke Foundation.
Support for the development and premiere of Postcards from the Border is provided by the College of Fine Arts O’Donnell Visiting Artist Endowment, Marvin Brittman, and Lisa Duchon & Dennis Andrulis.
Carrie Rodriguez is the 2024-25 Songwriter in Residence at The University of Texas at Austin, a program of the Office of the President through the Change Starts Here initiative.
This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
Postcards from the Border is a program of Laboratorio Arts, a 501(c)(3) based in Austin, TX.
The original idea for Postcards from the Border came to Oscar Cásares in 2019 when an editor at Texas Monthly asked him to write an essay about the Texas-Mexico border, and he wondered if this might be a chance to tell his 10-year-old daughter, Elena, about the place where he grew up and his family had begun settling in the mid-1800s. The problem, as he understood it, was that the media had long portrayed this region solely as a lawless land, overrun with undocumented immigration and drug smuggling. But he knew there was a much different story of the border, because he had lived it growing up and experienced it every time he went back to visit his family and friends. Postcards from the Border appeared as a photo essay in the August 2019 issue of Texas Monthly. Soon after its publication, Oscar and Joel began imagining how the essay might become a theatrical performance, which led to early iterations at the Instituto Cultural de México in San Antonio and later with Agarita, a chamber ensemble. Both experiences were informative and encouraging, but the performance took a different and more ambitious turn in 2021 when Oscar reached out to the talented singersongwriter Carrie Rodriguez about collaborating on a
show that featured original songs written about life on the border, much like his postcards.
In 2022, Carrie invited Oscar to perform a few of the Postcards at one of her Laboratorio shows, an ongoing concert series that she and Luke Jacobs, her husband and artistic collaborator, host at the Paramount State Theatre. In early 2023, Postcards from the Border received a major grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts, which allowed the creative team of Oscar, Joel, Carrie, and Luke (and their son, Cruz) to travel to the Rio Grande Valley and gather more material for tonight’s premiere.
Special thanks to Chuck Helm, our grant writer extraordinaire. Deepest thanks & appreciation to our NTP advisor, DeLanna Studi. Our heartfelt appreciation to Bob Bursey, Bobby Asher, Bianca Hooi, Priscilla Perales, their amazing team at TPA & Andy Langer. A special thank you to our friends at Arlyn Studios for making it possible for us to record a Postcards from the Border album in their world–class studio. And many thanks to Eddie Casares for welcoming us into his home.

Oscar Cásares is the author of Brownsville, a collection of short stories, and the novels Amigoland and Where We Come From. His writing for the last twenty-five years has been focused on life along the Texas-Mexico border. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Copernicus Society of America, the San Ysidro Writer’s Residency, and the Texas Institute of Letters. His family began settling in the lower Rio Grande Valley in the mid 1800s. After working in advertising for several years, he realized how little the lives of his family and the people he had grown up with were reflected in the media. He began writing fiction and personal essays to see if might be able to tell some of his family’s stories and reclaim a part of his past. His essays have appeared
in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Texas Monthly, where Postcards from the Border first appeared. Originally from Brownsville, he now lives in Austin with his wife, Becky, and their kids, Adrian and Elena. Since 2004, he has taught creative writing at The University of Texas at Austin.
Liz Frankel spent nearly a decade as the Director of New Work at Houston’s Alley Theatre, where she founded its Alley All New Festival in 2016. Since then, the Alley has been represented on Broadway by Sharr White’s Pictures from Home, off-Broadway by plays including Rajiv Joseph’s Describe the Night (Obie Award for Best New American Play), Bekah Brunstetter’s The Cake, and 72 miles to go... by Hilary Bettis, as well as numerous productions around the country of other scripts it developed and premiered. Liz moved to Houston after nine years at New York’s Public Theater, where she helped to start the Emerging Writers Group; the program supported the writing of the Tony Award-winning Appropriate by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Manahatta by Mary Kathryn Nagle and The Vagrant Trilogy by Mona Mansour, among many other wonderful new works. Before joining The Public, Liz worked at Waxman Williams Entertainment, Miramax Films, and Manhattan Theatre Club. Freelance
dramaturgy assignments have taken Liz to venues including the Williamstown Theatre Festival, the Colorado New Play Summit, the Ojai Playwrights Conference, The Playwrights’ Center and Chautauqua Theater Company. Her last project with TPA was Darden Smith’s Western Skies in May 2024.
Greg Gonzalez (bassist, co-writer of underscores) is a founding member of the Grammy-award winning Latin big band Grupo Fantasma, funk ensemble Brownout and Peruvian inspired combo Money Chicha. As a songwriter, producer and performer, he has recorded on over a dozen albums, and as a sideman, he has recorded on several more. He co-mixed and co-produced the Grammy nominated “Sonidos Gold” and the Grammy-award winning “El Existential” (Grupo Fantasma).
Luke Jacobs (creative director, videographer, graphic designer, and cowriter of “They’re Holding the Door”), founder of Perfecto Creative, is a modern–day renaissance man ready to create. He is a videographer, photographer, graphic designer, recording engineer, musician, husband and father with the unique ability to create and manage projects from initial concept to design to production to promotion. Some of his noted clients include musicians Carrie Rodriguez, Bill Frisell, and
Bion Tsang, among others. A native of Minnesota, he has lived in Austin, Texas, since 2010.
Texas-based guitarist and singer-songwriter David Jimenez (guitarist, vocalist, and composer of “The Ride”) makes his home in Austin, but was raised in Harlingen, a border town deep in the Rio Grande Valley. While for years he has been known primarily as one of Austin’s premier guitar-slinging hired guns, with his upcoming debut solo album, Sleep On It, he is stepping to center stage for the first time.
Jimenez was raised as and remains the youngest boy out of both sides of his mom’s and dad’s expansive families, making him the last in the family line to bear his patriarchal name. That history made for an easy choice when deciding on a name for his solo project, “The Last Jimenez”—both an homage to his family line and an emphasis on his move to stand on his own as a solo artist.
Alex Marrero (drummer, percussionist, vocalist, and co-writer of “Untethered Dreams and underscores) is an Austin–based musician, songwriter, and producer. He is also the host of KUTX’s beloved, fifty-yearsand-running radio show: “Horizontes: The Music of Latin America & Beyond.” Born in Mexico City to Cuban parents, Alex got his professional start playing
clubs in Mexico at the age of 15 and has continued his musical evolution since moving to Austin in 1994. His voice and showmanship present in Brownout Presents: Brown Sabbath earned him critical & public acclaim as well as high praise from Ozzy Osbourne himself. He has performed and collaborated with: Grupo Fantasma, Brownout, Bo Deans, Los Lobos, Bob Schneider, Miles Zuniga, Coyle Girelli, Carrie Rodriguez, Charanga Cakewalk, Golden Dawn Arkestra, Gary Clark Jr, Darden Smith, Gina Chavez, Greyhounds, Kalu James, and many more.
Sergio Mendoza (keyboardist, accordionist, percussionist, guitarist, vocalist, and co-writer of “Cumbia de la Frontera” and underscores) is a producer, composer, arranger, multiinstrumentalist, and Latin music pioneer. The southern Arizona native’s musical career stems from a deep connection to his humble roots, which has carried the energy of this collective throughout his musical movements.
Growing up on the international border in Ambos Nogales, Sergio was exposed to a wide range of music from a very early age. He attributes his influence to a sense of place—where he was born and raised, and the sounds he heard playing on the radio from bordertown stations.
Sergio collaborates with
musicians on projects that traverse different styles as he reinvents sub-genres of Latin music. He has arranged distinctive sounds on projects like Esto Sí Es Cumbia for Los Ángeles Azules, the tribute album Un Mundo Raro: Las Canciones de José Alfredo Jiménez, and co-producing Edge of the Sun and El Mirador with Calexico.
Sergio fashioned his unique taste and experience into Orkesta Mendoza, a blend of indie rock and Latin music that has become a cornerstone of Tucson culture.
Phyllis Oyama (producer) has been the Artist Manager for Bill Frisell and Carrie Rodriguez at Songtone since January 2000, supervising strategy, touring, publicity and promotional matters. She produced the commissioned multimedia production titled The Great Flood, a collaboration of composer/ guitarist Bill Frisell and filmmaker Bill Morrison.
David Pulkingham (guitarist, vocalist, and co-writer of underscores) is a guitarist, songwriter, and producer. Based in Austin, he has released two instrumental albums entitled David Pulkingham Plays Guitar volumes 1 and 3, and in 2015, he released his first singer/songwriter album entitled Little Pearl. Most recently, David teamed up with Canadian keyboardist and songwriter Jay Stiles to form the band SuperTonic. This project released their
first album, Time To Repair, in 2021, and in 2023, he released an album of devotional and Gospel music called Foundations Of Faith. David currently tours with Patty Griffin and has played with her for the past 11 years. He co-wrote two songs on her recent Grammy winning eponymous album.
In addition to his extensive international touring work with Alejandro Escovedo, Carrie Rodriguez, Sara Watkins and Patty Griffin, David has served as an accompanist for the likes of Robert Plant, EmmyLou Harris, Steve Earle, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams, and Lila Downs.
Carrie Rodriguez, a composer, violinist, and singer from Austin, finds beauty in the crosspollination of diverse musical traditions. As a singer-songwriter, she has released five solo studio albums, including Lola, which was hailed as “the perfect bicultural album” and was included in NPR’s Best Albums of 2016, as well as Rolling Stone’s Best Country Albums of the Year. Carrie has performed on stages across North America and Europe and has appeared on programs such as PBS’s Austin City Limits, The Tonight Show, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. In 2017, she founded Laboratorio, a highly acclaimed concert series at Austin’s State Theatre that celebrates Latino culture
through music, visual art, and storytelling. Her most recent work as a composer/lyricist was for the original musical ¡Americano!, which had a successful six-week run off broadway at New York City’s New World Stages in 2022. The production earned her a nomination for a 2022 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music. This year, Rodriguez is enjoying her time as the Songwriter in Residence at The University of Texas at Austin. Carrie lives in Austin with her husband and frequent artistic collaborator, Luke Jacobs, and their 9-year-old son, Cruz.
Joel Salcido grew up on both sides of the U.S.–Mexican border. As a staff photographer for the El Paso Times, he documented the Tarahumara Indians and covered the 1985 Mexico City earthquake. He also traveled extensively in Latin America for USA Today
In 1991, he resigned as Photo Editor of the El Paso Times, eventually moving to Spain to work on a year long project titled, Spain: Millennium Past.
His fine art photographs are now in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Harry Ransom Humanities Center at UT Austin, the El Paso Museum of Art, the Austonian, the Wittliff Collection at Texas State University-San Marcos, and the UTSA Art Collection.
In 2017, Trinity University Press published his book, The
Spirit of Tequila, based on his series, Aliento A Tequila, a photographic exhibit that is now on a national tour.
“Atotonilco el Alto,” the emblematic landscape photograph from the Tequila series, was recently inducted into National Art Heritage Collection of Mexico and permanently resides at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City.
In 2021, Salcido was a guest artist representing San Antonio at the Jornada Binacional Para Artistas in Mexico City.
Most recently, his “Origin of the Longhorn” photo essay, which story begins in Cadiz, Spain, was featured as the December cover story for Texas Monthly. Joel lives in San Antonio with his wife, Rosie. Their two children, Bryana and Cid, reside in Austin and LA, respectively.

Texas Performing Arts presents
Support for this presentation of Sweet Honey in the Rock® is provided by the Alex and Dee Massad Endowment Fund and the Topfer Endowment for Performing Arts Production.
Media Sponsors:
The Grammy-nominated African American vocal ensemble, SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK® marked its’ 50TH ANNIVERSARY in November 2023 with a powerful three-year celebration that will honor its’ storied past and set the course for the future of the group, which has been described as, “one of the most dynamic, versatile and still relevant musical collectives today.”
Since its’ inception in Washington, D.C. (1973), Sweet Honey in the Rock has thrived as a performance ensemble founded on the missions of empowerment, education, and entertainment. Their current roster includes vocalists Carol Maillard, Louise Robinson, Aisha Kahlil, Nitanju Bolade Casel, and Rochelle Rice, with Romeir Mendez on upright acoustic/electric bass, and American Sign Language interpreter, Barbara Hunt.
Throughout five decades, the ensemble members have worked to create engaging and socially conscious music that consistently takes an active stance toward making
our planet a better place for all in which to live. Their musical landscape embraces multiple genres/generations and addresses civil & human rights, women’s issues, gun violence, death, love, spirituality, children’s songs and so much more.
Connecting to the everevolving cultural and political landscape, they were the featured performers at the 125th Anniversary of Paul Robeson and the 50th Anniversary of the Ms. Foundation and were among the performing artists for the Harry Belafonte 95th Birthday Celebration. They have also lent their voices to the Jane Fonda-led, “Fire Drill Friday’s” on Capitol Hill highlighting the urgency of the threats of global climate change, and their music has been included in the soundtracks of Freedom Song, Mercy, Dear Mama and the HBO special, My Family. On June 19th of 2020, (Juneteenth) Sweet Honey became one of the first artists to address the constraints of the Covid pandemic lockdown by connecting with her audience through an innovative livestream performance at the historical Lincoln Theatre in Washington D.C. Performing live without an audience and separated
onstage by individual plexiglass panels, the ensemble employed large video monitors which were filled with the faces of its’ virtual audience. This unique set-up allowed for a twoway interaction between the performers and the audience, which also served as a benefit for the Equal Justice Initiative and was viewed by over 150,000 people worldwide. In the fall of 2021, the ensemble co-wrote and performed their first theatrical piece, “When Day Comes” in collaboration with Ricardo Khan, the Founding Director of Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. Sweet Honey in the Rock®…their voices have graced so many of the world stages - Carnegie Hall (over thirty times), Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, The Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center – just to name a few; and they have performed extensively on every continent (except Antarctica – just waiting for the invitation!).
Over 115 years ago, we opened our doors to help make the lives of hard-working Texans better. We were a family business back then. We remain a family business today with a passion for - and a helping hand in - every community we serve.

We are from here, so we are helping here.
