Playhouse 2000 to stage hometown send-off performance of award-winning one-act before regional competition

The performance serves as a send-off ahead of the company’s trip to Carlsbad, New Mexico, where it will compete in the Southwest Theatre Conference — the regional competition of the American Association of Community Theatre.

Kerrville’s community theater company will give local audiences one final chance to see its award-winning one-act play Saturday before the production heads to a regional competition in New Mexico.

Playhouse 2000 will present Jon Klein’s comedy “T-Bone -n- Weasel” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at The Kathleen C. Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts, 910 Main St. A pre-show reception with light refreshments begins at 7 p.m. in the lobby. The show runs just over an hour and is rated PG for mild language and situations.

The performance serves as a send-off ahead of the company’s trip to Carlsbad, New Mexico, where it will compete in the Southwest Theatre Conference — the regional competition of the American Association of Community Theatre.

The production earned multiple awards two weeks ago at TexFest 2026, the state-level one-act-play competition hosted by the Theatre Network of Texas in Midland, and advanced to the regional level as a result.

“T-Bone -n- Weasel” is the fourth Playhouse 2000 one-act to advance to regionals since 2010. One previous entry, Tennessee Williams’ “The Pretty Trap,” went on to compete at the 2019 national AACT-Fest in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The Southwest Regional Theatre Conference represents companies from Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Tickets are $20 per person. Proceeds will help fund the company’s travel to New Mexico. Tickets are available at The Cailloux Box Office, by phone at (830) 896-9393, or online at CaillouxPerformingArts.com. A $2.50 per-ticket convenience fee applies to online purchases.
