Story for Texas in Paris
Based on true events, Texas in Paris is the musical journey of a man and a woman-one white, one black-invited to France to perform at the Maison des Cultures du Monde. They have never met, have no professional singing experience, and face the challenge of working together and co-existing in an unfamiliar world. Apprehensive of each other, they struggle with preconceptions but forge a surprising spiritual bond that transforms their on-stage performance and their lives.
From playwright Alan Govenar: "Texas in Paris is a metaphor for the dilemma of race that is currently dividing our nation, focusing on two people from the heartland, who like most Americans want to avoid talking about racism as an issue. But once in Paris, a dialogue emerges that could never have happened in their isolated worlds."
