New exhibit opens at TTU museum

A new exhibit, Two Minutes to Midnight, opens at the Museum of Texas Tech University, 3301 Fourth St., on June 6.

In 2018 the Doomsday Clock was set to two minutes to midnight, the closest it has ever been to striking midnight since the height of the Cold War in 1953 when both the United States and the Soviet Union tested thermonuclear weapons for the first time within ten months of each other. Today, while the Cold War’s lessons and fears have largely faded from our collective memory, it is critical to view a decidedly uncertain present through the lens of the past.

Through two photographic essays, photographers Jeanine Michna-Bales and Adam Reynolds offer a calculated look at the “Architecture of Armageddon,” both the offensive and defensive implications of nuclear war. These quiet architectural spaces, devoid of people, allow viewers to come face to face with present nuclear realities while also offering a look into the collective psyche of the American people during the Cold War.

Exhibition through Exhibits USA and Mid-America Arts Alliance.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is scheduled to play at Jake’s Backroom, 5025 50th St. Ste. A, on Sunday, June 6.

Advance tickets are $17 plus fees. On the day of the show, tickets are $20 plus fees.

Tickets are available online at dinproductions.com or at Ralph’s Records in Lubbock.

Garcia to perform at BHC

The Buddy Holly Center’s annual Summer Showcase Concert Series returns this summer for its 21st season.

Performances are every Thursday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Meadows Courtyard, through Aug. 19. The center is located at 1801 Crickets Ave.

Anthony Garcia is scheduled to perform on Thursday, June 10.

Lubbock native Garcia is a songwriter, guitarist, and classically trained pianist now based in Austin. His musical style has most accurately been described as “cinematic Americana,” a genre that interweaves songwriting with expanding, quasi-orchestral sections.

Moonlight musicals kicks off season with ‘Sound of Music’

Lubbock Moonlight Musicals kicks off its 2021 Summer season with “The Sound of Music,” by Rodgers and Hammerstein, scheduled for June 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, at the Moonlight Musicals Amphitheater, 413 E. Broadway.

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical is probably most remembered as the 1965 American film produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical. 

Based on the 1949 memoir “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers” by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children.

General seating tickets for the production are $15 each and may be purchased online at moonlightmusicals.com

Lorrie Morgan returns to Cactus stage

Country music legend Lorrie Morgan will be live at the Cactus Theater at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 11.

Barely a teenager when she made her first impression on country music fans, Morgan, a child of the Opry, staked her claim as being one of the youngest to have made his/her debut at the Mother Church of Country. Taking center stage at the Grand Ole Opry, alongside her father, George Morgan, she performed her rendition of “Paper Roses.”

Three years later, after her dad’s passing, Lorrie became a road warrior to launch her own career, touring with her father’s band. She made history when she became a lifetime member of the Grand Ole Opry at age 24, the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Morgan inked her first recording contract in 1988 and made her mark with what have now become timeless country standards, “Five Minutes,” “Something In Red,” “Watch Me” and “What Part Of No.” 

Guest opener is Lubbock favorite Morgan Reatherford.

Tickets for this show are: reserved floor, first 5 rows (A-E), $60; remainder of floor (rows F-M and ADA), $45; reserved balcony seating, $30; and limited balcony box (includes concessions), $90.
