March 22 – 23….Metropolis Electro - The mission of LHUCA is to inspire and enrich our community by being a catalyst for the arts.

Local musicians, Scott and Amy Faris have agreed to tackle the huge under-taking of scoring the music for the event. It will be unlike any performance ever staged in the Lubbock area. Lights, film, music, stage performance, this will be grand! For more information, visit www.flatlandfilm.org or call 806.762.8606. Louise Hopkins Underwood Center of the Arts, 511 Avenue K; 7 p.m.
