Description

The Oldest Living Graduate brilliantly showcases Preston Jones’ gift for blending hilarity and poignancy. The play’s title character is Colonel J. C. Kinkaid, an aging lion of Bradleyville in West Texas. The Colonel, a 75-year-old Wolrd War I veteran, has been partially paralyzed by a stroke, and is confined to a wheelchair. Cranky and on the verge of dementia, he lives in the sprawling ranch house of his son Floyd and daughter-in-law Maureen. When Floyd and his friend Clarence hatch a plan to develop some land his father has clung to for years and insisted remain untouched, the Colonel’s ornery nature erupts into full-scale conflict, especially when the Colonel resists Floyd’s attempt to promote the project through a ceremony honoring the Colonel as the “Oldest Living Graduate” of the Mirabeau B. Lamar Military Academy in Galveston.

The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed. "Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.
