Waxing Lyrically

The spotlight is on and the competition is heating up! 🎤✨ Alisa sits down with Levi and Jill to talk about the upcoming Brownwood’s Got Talent (BGT) semifinals, a local competition inspired by America’s Got Talent. They give us the scoop on what to expect as this year’s talented contestants compete for a spot in the finals, plus a BIG new addition: for the first time ever, the winner will walk away with a $1,000 prize! 🏆💰 But BGT is about more than showing off Brownwood’s talent—all proceeds from the event will benefit the ARK Domestic Violence Shelter, making it a night of entertainment for an important cause. Tune in to hear what’s in store for the BGT semifinals and why you won’t want to miss this year’s show!   watch on youtube - https://youtu.be/A-EWjvo4w9o 

Alisa and Drex sit down wit Lamar to talk about a special dinner theatre event also a performance by Martee and Riverside Road.   Watch on youtube - https://youtu.be/JmS2QMrNNmU   Puffs Sep 19, 2026 - Sep 20, 2026 Ever wonder what it was like to be one of the other students at that famous school of witchcraft and wizardry? Puffs is the hilarious parody that flips the story you know on its head—told from the point of view of the loyal, awkward, and under appreciated house that never seems to win the glory. Follow seven years in the lives of the “Puffs,” a group of well-meaning misfits who just want to make it through magic school without getting caught in someone else’s epic adventure. Filled with laugh-out-loud humor, heart, and a few spells gone wrong, Puffs is a fast-paced comedy for anyone who’s ever felt like a side character—but still believes in friendship, bravery, and finding your place in the story. https://lyricperformingartscompany.thundertix.com/events/255979
