 Unity Theatre

Unity Theatre presents “Fruitcakes”, a comedy by Julian Wiles playing on the Main Stage December 5 – 22, 2024.

Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two southern spinsters, an estranged old man, a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster and you’ve got the recipe for a fun-filled and touching evening of festive frenzy. Into this world comes Jamie, a runaway kid who has come as far as his money will take him. At first, he thinks this town’s inhabitants are “nuttier than fruitcakes,” but soon he comes to admire, appreciate, and adore this crazy little town. So, grab your eggnog and join us for a heaping helping of holiday warmth and Christmas cheer.

The Smithsonian Exhibit

 Saturday, December 21st, 2024 :: 10:00am - 2:00pm
 Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre

In 1900, almost 40% of Americans lived in rural areas, while today, that number is less than 20%. Almost 90% of the land mass is considered non-urban. Join us in Brenham December 7 – January 19 to explore the Smithsonian exhibit titled Crossroads: Change in Rural America, and learn why revitalizing rural places matters now, and into the future. Despite demographic changes, economic innovation and a focus on cultural facets have helped make small towns unique, comfortable and desirable. Come and learn how these changes helped Brenham and Washington County create a bright future from the legacy of our rural roots.
