Who We Are
Always Texas Productions exists to share the stories, people, and moments that shaped Texas. Through immersive performances, storytelling, podcasts, and speaking events, we bring powerful narratives into the present with authenticity, care, and respect.
At the heart of it all is our flagship one-man production, The Lion of Texas: A Conversation with Sam Houston, which first established our approach to intimate, character-driven storytelling. This production invites audiences into a personal and reflective encounter with one of Texas’s most influential figures, setting the tone for the kind of meaningful, immersive experiences we continue to create today. Our work is driven by a passion for helping audiences connect more deeply with the spirit of Texas.
About The Show
The Lion of Texas:
A Conversation with Sam Houston
What if you could sit across the table from Sam Houston and hear the story of Texas from the man who lived it?
The Lion of Texas: A Conversation with Sam Houston brings one of the most fascinating figures in Texas history to life in an unforgettable one-man theatrical experience.
Step into the world of Sam Houston as he reflects on the people, battles, triumphs, failures and impossible decisions that shaped the Republic of Texas. Told through the voice and personality of the man himself, the performance moves beyond dates and facts to reveal the humor, humanity, courage and complexity behind the legend.
This isn’t a lecture. It isn’t a history lesson. It is a conversation.
Audiences are invited to meet the man behind the statue, to hear his stories, share his memories and experience the Texas of his time through a compelling performance that is entertaining, engaging and deeply rooted in the character of the Lone Star State.
