Description

It’s 1982. Magritte Holes, the ailing, notoriously outrageous, matriarch of one of Houston’s most prominent oil families, has been hiding out in her bedroom for months. Guzzling whiskey, planning the annual Holes Barbecue, and developing an outlandish strategy to save Texas, and her family’s fortune from imminent collapse. Unfortunately, neither her high-profile guests or her colorful, dysfunctional family have any idea what she has in store for them.

Oil! is the story of a family, and a country, so desperate to hold on to what they have, that they are willing to sacrifice what matters most: each other. Starring Tyne Daly.

Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Reservations are encouraged by calling 214-904-0500 or emailing echoreservations@att.net.
