When it comes to scary, theatre people always understand the assignment. Case in point: Amarillo Little Theatre is bringing Stephen King’s Misery to the Adventure Space this October! ALT’s riveting 98th season continues with this suspense-filled drama, and trust us—you’ve never experienced a psychological thriller like this.
Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued from a terrible car accident by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes. But Paul quickly realizes that Annie’s idea of “helping” may be more terrifying than the crash itself. An intense mental showdown ensues that explores the dangerous link between hero worship, dehumanization, isolation and physical and mental illness in this gritty take on the well-known Stephen King novel.
ALT has assembled a dynamic cast for this chilling production: Patrick Burns as Paul, Kayla Fuller as Annie, and Bobby McCauley as Buster. The show is directed by Jo Smith, with Carla Fristoe serving as Assistant to the Director.
Misery will run October 16–26, 2025, at the ALT Adventure Space, located at 2751 Civic Circle. Seating at the Adventure Space is far more limited than at the Mainstage…so you’ll want to reserve your seats quickly!
There is nothing quite like live theatre…but when ALT combines an electrifying script, skilled performers and the intimacy of our black box theatre, a spine-chilling experience emerges, unlike anything else in Amarillo. Get ready to be held captive this October at the Adventure Space. Order your tickets today!

Proximity: Rarely Seen Paintings from PPHM Come to WTAMU’s Dord Fitz Formal Gallery
Canyon, Texas — Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum and West Texas A&M University Art Program proudly present Proximity: Paintings from Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, a compelling new exhibition that invites viewers to consider how art brings us closer to one another, to the past, and to place. Exhibition opens August 25.
Featuring rarely seen works from the PPHM collection, Proximity showcases landscapes, portraits, and still life paintings by celebrated Texas artists including Isabel Robinson, Maurice Bernson, Olin Travis, Fred Darge, and Harold Bugbee. These paintings offer more than aesthetic beauty, they become vessels of identity, memory, and regional connection.
“In curating this exhibition, I wanted to highlight not only the individual artists but also the relationships their work creates,” says Deana Craighead, Curator of Art at PPHM. “These paintings reflect a shared geography, a shared history. In many ways, they help define who we are – then and now.”
In a region shaped by wide-open spaces and close-knit communities, Proximity explores how art narrows distance: between artist and viewer, between history and the present, and between the collective and the personal. It’s an opportunity to engage with the cultural richness of the Panhandle-Plains through works that have long been part of our story, yet rarely on public display.
Graduate students Kenedy Wheeler and Madilyn Ballew, serving as curatorial apprentices, have played an active role in developing Proximity as part of their coursework. Their hands-on experience includes selecting artworks, contributing to curatorial discussions, conducting research, drafting extended labels, and assisting with artwork preparation and
installation. Their contributions not only enhance the exhibition but also highlight the museum’s vital role in educating and mentoring the next generation of arts professionals in our region.
This exhibition also marks a continued partnership between PPHM and WTAMU’s Art Program, deepening the commitment to preserving, studying, and celebrating the art of our region. Visitors are encouraged to explore the gallery and reflect on ways art connects us across time and space.
