A TEXAS CAROL: PART DEUX Comes to the George Theater

The George Theater will bring the all new sequel to their instant classic, A Texas Carol, to its stage. A Texas Carol: Part Deux is a zany and heartfelt ode to families who, despite their dysfunction, somehow manage to keep moving forward in love. It’s the same love that was laid in a manger over two-thousand years ago, and the same love The George Theater is sharing with audiences this holiday season.

Everyone's favorite dysfunctional East Texas family is back!  Two years later, the Dinkel family is gathering back on Mee-Maw's beloved ranch on Christmas Day to celebrate Ginny and Hugo's wedding. But Hugo, the new Head Coach of the Houston NHL expansion team, is stuck in Dallas, snowed in by a whopping eighth of an inch. Hugo's absence forces Gretta, Erik, and Van to once again run a poorly conceived (but well-meaning) scheme to keep the truth from the ultra-anxious Ginny. As they restlessly wait for Hugo's arrival during the winter "storm of the century", a handsome cowboy from a neighboring ranch threatens to upend Erik's plan to win the heart of Hugo's beautiful French-Canadian sister. Blake and Mya, second year students at Texas A&M and UT respectively, have discovered the vitriolic nature of their newfound politics and hate each other again.  And a massive and legendary wild hog lurks on the edge of the ranch, threatening to destroy more than just the wedding and Christmas. The characters you know and love return for another night of Christmas hilarity and poignancy, including a certain critter who’s also not been wasting any time!
