The picturesque town of Alpine, Texas, is set to be the backdrop for a remarkable evening of unity and inspiration as the Granada Theatre opens its doors to host a special screening of “Ten in Texas” on Sunday, Nov. 5. This event promises to showcase the tight-knit Alpine community coming together for an unforgettable cinematic experience that celebrates both their local talent and the resilient spirit of West Texas women.
“Ten in Texas,” directed by Twila LaBar, brings to life an uplifting narrative that highlights the extraordinary courage and compassion of ten West Texas women ranchers who take matters into their own hands when a deadly virus grips the town of Boquillas, Mexico.
At the heart of the story are Joan (Liz Rogers of Alpine) and Caroline (Abigail Pfiester Rue), two women who embark on a daring mission. They traverse harsh desert landscapes in a worn-out hunting vehicle to smuggle life-saving vaccines across the border. As they journey toward the Rio Grande, the local sheriff, who also shares a history with Joan, watches with growing concern, fearing for their safety. “Ten in Texas” weaves a tale of resilience and friendship that is sure to resonate with Alpine’s close-knit community.
What makes this screening event even more special is its commitment to giving back. Ticket sales will contribute to the Museum of the Big Bend Education Fund, reflecting Alpine’s dedication to supporting local cultural and educational initiatives.
The doors of the Granada Theatre will swing open at 3 p.m., with the screening commencing at 3:30 p.m. Tickets can be secured both at the theater’s entrance and conveniently online via their website: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/tenintexasmovie/1028044.
This remarkable cinematic journey, brought to life through the collaborative efforts of a dedicated team including Sam Pfiester, Rebecca Pfiester, Modesta Williams, Anne Calaway, Kay Andrews, Chuck Nowland, Todd Wade, and Denise Wade, underscores the strength of Alpine’s artistic and communal spirit. The original screenplay and story were crafted by Sam Pfiester, Susan Combs, Kat Sparks, Britt West, Judson Kauffma, and Abigail Pfiester Rue.
Join Alpine on November 5th at the Granada Theatre for an evening that celebrates the local community, the stunning landscapes of West Texas, and the unwavering courage of the women who call this region home. “Ten in Texas” promises to be a captivating tribute to the town of Alpine, where community and courage shine brightly.
