The staff and management are superb and the back patio where
we meet is large and classy!
So join us on Wed March 9 and learn from our Guest Speaker Laurie A. Guzda why improvisation is such an invaluable tool for all actors, is an excellent creative play for any adult, and enhances communication skills for all.

Keep Texans working! Join TXMPA - http://www.txmpa.org/ - and see details about Lobby Day, also on Wed March 9. We all know that cutting our the Texas Film/TV/Game Incentive Package will not save Texas money, but rather, it will cost us � in terms of business and jobs. Our incentive program has generated over $614 million in new in-state spending and has accounted for 57,669 production jobs for Texans, equivalent to 6,729 traditional full-time jobs. Our incentives are putting Texans to work in Texas every day. The stakes have never been higher, and we know we can count on you to help us leave a good impression with the legislators that will deliberate over the funding of our program.
