A Brief History of Root Vegetables is a new, three-act comic opera by UTSA professor David Heuser.

Pops Concert: “So the Story Goes...”
It’s Story Time! From the pages of Ogden Nash, Lewis Carroll, and others, the Pops Concert is classic “music of the narrative” -- songs that tell the stories with music to provide amusing and dramatic emphasis. Add “Oedipus Tex,” a western melodrama with a Texas flair, and you have an afternoon’s entertainment.
Singers invite you to participate in their book collection for Haven for Hope. Bring new or gently-used books (children’s or adult) to the Pops concert as we share our love of reading with the San Antonio “Haven for Hope” community.
