LUFKIN – Individual tickets are now available online for Angelina Art’s 20th anniversary season, which bears the theme “A Toast to Our 20th” and features a variety of high-quality entertainment.

“We are thrilled to bring a brand new season of high quality performances to the beautiful Pines Theater in downtown Lufkin! The iconic Pines Theater is an important part of the cultural fabric of our community and we are honored to bring performances that appeal to a wide range of individuals to enjoy in the beautiful, historic setting,” said AAA executive director Jennifer Allen.

Upcoming performances include:

From the roots of the Grand Ole Opry to the wings of Carnegie Hall, the Annie Moses Band has been taking music to new heights for more than a decade.

When it comes to transforming country songs into tangible experience, Marty Stuart has a secret weapon: The Fabulous Superlatives. Made up of guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson and new member, bassist Chris Scruggs, the Superlatives are an extension of Stuart himself.
