Community Calendar

The Briscoe is excited to invite guests and members of the museum to participate in our community Ofrenda (Altar) in celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

The Day of the Dead Holiday is thought to have grown from Indigenous origins blending with European traditions in Mexico and today is a national symbol of Mexican and Mexican-American heritage.

The Briscoe’s Ofrenda commemorates loved ones of the museum’s staff, community and the West. Museum guests and members are invited to add photos of lost loved ones and your personal offering.

At the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), our mission is to prevent the suffering of companion animals and strengthen the human-animal bond by providing accessible, affordable spay/neuter and veterinary care.

Our clinics are busy every day helping pets in need—and we go through supplies quickly. As a nonprofit, we depend on the generosity of our community to keep our doors open and our shelves stocked. In-kind donations such as towels and cleaning supplies are just as valuable as monetary gifts, helping us lower costs and serve more pets.

From October 20–24, 2025 (10 AM–4 PM), SNAP will be hosting a Donation Drive to collect supplies and monetary contributions for our clinics. Drop off location is Spay-Neuter & Animal Wellness Clinic at 6758 Ingram Road, 78238.

Last year alone, donated goods saved SNAP over $72,000, allowing us to provide even more affordable spay/neuter and preventive care for local pets.

Macbeth
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Laura T. Garza

This is not your traditional Macbeth. This production reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy through the lens of a Narcos-inspired world, where the pursuit of power is fueled by violence, ambition, and corruption. Set against a gritty backdrop of cartel politics and empire-building, this bold retelling asks: What is the true cost of power?

This concept connects Shakespeare’s timeless themes of greed and fate with a contemporary world that audiences will instantly recognize, making it both relevant and impactful.
