Alamo to host 'Jurassic Park' movie party
Life finds a way to party.
Join Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock for a movie party celebrating "Jurassic Park" at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 5.
Hold onto your butts, it’s the epic interactive screening 65 million years in the making!
John Hammond was a man with a simple dream of satisfying his lawyers and insurance agents so that he could open a park where humans would once again be free to walk the Earth with massive creatures that enjoy killing them. From that dream, a new legend was hatched (under BD Wong’s close observation, of course) – our JURASSIC PARK Movie Party. So get in your self-driving electric Jeep and pay attention to the rippling water in that plastic cup as you join us for a cinematic experience unlike any other!
We spared no expense for the 30th Anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s all-time classic. Check the boxes in the back of your Jeeps (aka your table) for bandanas, flashlights, dino DNA, and everything else you need for a fun-filled time with some two-story-tall genetic monstrosities. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
Tickets for this movie party are $18.13 and available online in advance at drafthouse.com/lubbock

Morrow brings 25th anniversary tour to Cactus
Cory Morrow brings his Man That I've Been 25th anniversary tour to the Cactus Theater at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10.
Morrow didn’t become a Texas legend by being quiet. He sings about strippers and Jesus with equal fervor. While this dichotomy may leave those on either side of the moral equator perplexed - the answer is actually very simple. Cory is beautifully and uncomfortably transparent.
From the beer-soaked, cocaine-laden days of his early career - to today’s more sober and spiritual leg of the journey - one thing about Morrow has never changed: as goes Cory’s life, goes Cory’s songs. He's now celebrating 25 years as a mainstay and survivor in the Texas Country scene - and this show at the Cactus Theater will encapsulate the twists and turns of the musician and the muse over this quarter century.
Tickets for this show are: floor rows A-D, $30 in advance and $35 the day of the show; remainder of floor, rows E-M, $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show; standard balcony, $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show; and limited box seats, $50 in advance and $55 the day of the show.

In the spring of 1980, the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it on the sun-washed avenues of Miami…wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams.
He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name…Scarface. Starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana along with Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Robert Loggia, Scarface has become a cultural phenomenon brilliantly directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone.

TTU series features The Queen's Cartoonists
The Texas Tech University Presidential Lecture Series presents The Queen's Cartoonists at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, in the Allen Theatre.
The Queen’s Cartoonists perform music from cartoons! Pulling from over 100 years of animation, TQC’s performances are perfectly synchronized to the films projected on stage. The band matches the energy of the cartoons, leading the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy.
Projections of animated films dazzle the audience, while the band re-creates original soundtracks note-for-note, or writes their own fresh compositions to modern pieces, all the while breathing new life into two uniquely American forms of art: jazz and animation. Tying everything together is the TQC brand of comedy - anecdotes about the cartoons and their composers, stream-of-consciousness humor, and elements of a musical circus.
Watch your favorite classic cartoon characters interact with the musicians on stage, and expect the unexpected from the Golden Age of Animation, cult cartoon classics, and modern animated films. Inspired by the cross-roads of jazz, classical music, and cartoons, TQC features Jazz Age composers like Carl Stalling, Raymond Scott, and Duke Ellington, alongside classical giants Mozart, Rossini, and R. Strauss (to name just a few).
Tickets for this show are $17 each and available online at selectaseatlubbock.com or by contacting the Select a Seat Box Office at (806) 770-2000 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
