GARLAND, Tx (KDAF) – Need an idea for a night out this weekend? Why not go see a theater production in Garland?
Beginning Friday, September 9, The Garland Civic Theater will begin performances of Broadway musicals Carnival! There’s more, headed by that Buff Shurr, one of the original cast members of Carnival! will be consulted on this show.
The actor now lives in Garland. Buff got his start as a dance and dance captain in the original 1961 Broadway production. Carnival! then took over as Marco when James Mitchell left the show.
Buff turns 95 this week and the Garland Civic is dedicating this show to him to celebrate. They are also offering a chance to meet Buff. After the opening night performance, they will host a reception to honor Buff so people can visit him and ask him about his Broadway days.
The musical will be performed at the Granville Center for the Arts (located at 300 North 5th St. Garland, Texas) from September 9th to the 25th. The show will start at 7.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2.30pm on Sundays. Tickets are $22 per ticket.
