True Women

ning five decades. These Texas pioneers lived
through the Texas Revolution, the Civil War, Reconstruction
and beyond. This is the real story of Texas by people who
lived it. The movie stars Angelina Jolie, Dana Delany and

Academy Awards is the inspiration for the
2014 edition of AcTag’s Follies. Capturing

favorite Oscar movies.
From the opening song through the closing medley, the audi-
ence will experience a fond walk down memory lane as the cast
performs a wide selection of nominated and Oscar-winning
songs. You’ll be thinking, “I Remember it Well” (

asking for “More” (
Mondo Caine
), as you toe-tap along with
these hits.
Songs aren’t the only Oscar-inspired performances. Expect to
see spectacular dance moves from the Georgettes, Cloggers
and the SunSations, with dances from classics like
Footloose
and
Flashdance
.
Drama skits and comedy monologues will answer many burn-
ing questions like “What to wear to the Oscars?” and how to
have “The $65 Funeral.” Even animation and animal fans will
have their way with numbers from
Beauty and the Beast
,
The
Jungle Book
