On Nov. 7th at 2:30 PM and Nov. 8th and 9th at 6:30 PM, head out to the Bastrop Opera House for Captain Dangerous.
A dark and stormy night, the drama group at Fiddlesticks High School is performing an exciting new play, “Captain Dangerous,” and the local theatre critic has shown up to observe the final dress rehearsal. But the performance is more disaster than danger with crew members and even actors missing, misplaced props, major miscues, and complete miscommunication! This is definitely a performance to challenge that old saying, the show must go on!

The Main Street Advisory Board has been working on the rebranding of our city parking lots. Bastrop was named an inaugural Texas Bird City in 2020, so the board partnered with the Bird City Coalition to rename each parking lot after a native bird.
