In the words of former Mayor Henry Cisneros, Texas, and San Antonio specifically are at a moment of “unprecedented and unstoppable growth.” We’ve all become familiar with the story of cities, even within our own state, becoming victims of their own success.

I’m creating this show, Ensemble Texas because I know San Antonio has the potential to do it differently. San Antonio can grow in a different, better way.

Ensemble Texas is a show about how (not if) San Antonio grows differently—rebuking the old models of growth at any cost and growth for growth’s sake. By exploring the environmental, economic, and cultural past, present, and future of this city, the region, and the state, this show connects San Antonians to a vision of growth for San Antonio’s sake.

While breaking news and divisiveness scream so loud that it can feel like all we hear—San Antonians need to hear the stories that teach, inspire, and energize but whisper of the people, places, and progress that have and will make for a more resilient, and thriving San Antonio.

This show is a conversation about how we address the challenges of the city’s past and present to capture and enjoy the opportunity for a more resilient, abundant, and even more storied future for all of San Antonio.
