Athens theater to stage Del Shores' comedy 'Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?'




The Henderson County Performing Arts Center will present "Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?" in Athens over the next two weekends.

The comedy written by Del Shores is the story of a small Texas town family gathering for a reunion after the patriarch of the family suffers a stroke. Shores, who lives in Los Angeles but was raised in Winters, Texas, is famous for his humorous plays about small Texas families, their interactions and how they resolve conflicts.

"Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?" was Shores' first play, and it debuted in 1987. It was produced as a film in 1990.

The play will be presented Thursdays through Saturdays, June 12-14, and June 19-21, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 15.

Another play by Shores called "Sordid Lives" starring Leslie Jordan was made into a movie also. It is considered his best-known work. "Sordid Lives" debuted in 1996, and it became a film in 1999.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 14)

EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.00 feet full pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
