"Barry Corbin brought the house down, Texas Style."—New York Times

To the laughter and applause of a live audience, noted Texas actors read seven short stories by Texans or "Texans-at-heart" in this latest offering of the Texas Bound audiocassette series. Touted around the state as "a three-hour joyride" (San Antonio Express-News), "a treat for the ear" (Austin American-Statesman), "an immediate hit" (Dallas Morning News), and "the best book into tape I know of" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram), Texas Bound on tape is top-notch entertainment.

Volume III offers encounters with a lovelorn parrot, a small-town Texan "under the weather" on a housebound sick day, a Houston matron whose "back-to-nature" weekend in the country changes her life, and a professor whose medical diagnosis turns into a profound yet somehow hilarious adventure.

Producer KAY CATARULLA founded the acclaimed "Arts & Letters Live" literary evenings at the Dallas Museum of Art in 1992. "Texas Bound" readings are a series highlight playing to sellout audiences every spring.
