This year’s Texas Democratic State Convention will be held at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, June 25-26th. There is great enthusiasm on the part of the Corpus Christi community to welcome our Democratic Delegates, Alternates, and guests to this year’s convention and kick our election season into high gear.

Importantly, in addition to facilitating the business of the Democratic Party, those elected as Delegates and Alternates to the State Convention have a number of opportunities to get involved and support the convention planning process, including soliciting auction items for our Convention Kickoff Silent Auction and helping to find volunteers willing to work at the State Convention.

Texas Democratic Women (TDW), our state-wide parent organization, will hold the Women’s Caucus at the convention and help with the Lady Bird Johnson Breakfast.

There are still tickets available to our March fundraiser, a bluegrass musical production of Mark Twain’s A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage. Click here to purchase tickets online today via Act Blue.

Doors open at 7:00 (concessions available), the box office opens at 7:30, and showtime is 8pm.

The address of the Courtyard Theater is 1509 H. Ave., Plano.  Parking access is off G Ave. or 16th St.

The Courtyard Theater is located in the Historical District of downtown Plano. It’s in the block bordered by Ave. H on the east side, Ave. G on the west side, 16th St. on the north side, and 15th St on the south side. Ave. H is technically the front side of the theater, but Ave. G, the backside of the theater, is where the REAL parking is. This is where the directions lead.

From 15th Street:

  • Head east on 15th. Cross under North Central Expressway. The first light you come to after the light at North Central is Avenue G. You will see a City of Plano on the corner of Ave. G. Make a LEFT turn (north) on Avenue G.
  • Immediately look for a sign for the theater on your RIGHT. Make a RIGHT turn before you pass the sign into what appears to be small driveway/alleyway.  It actually takes you, very quickly, to a LEFT turn into the large parking lot.
  • If you overshoot the turn into the driveway, continue on Ave. G until the next street, 16th street. Make a RIGHT and then another quick RIGHT into the parking lot.

The Courtyard Theatre is the building on the right. You should see all the lights on.

Heading South on Ave. K:

  • At 15th Street, which has a light, make a RIGHT turn. (Be careful not to turn on the “street” before it which is 15th Place and leads to a dead end.) You will cross the DART tracks, and pass Ave. H.
  • At Ave. G (there is a light), take a RIGHT.  Immediately look for a sign for the theater on your RIGHT.
  • Make a RIGHT turn before you pass the sign into what appears to be small driveway/alleyway.  It actually takes you, very quickly, to a LEFT turn into the large parking lot.
  • If you overshoot the turn into the driveway, continue on Ave. G until the next street, 16th Street. Make a RIGHT and then another quick RIGHT into the parking lot.

The Courtyard Theatre is the building on the right. You should see all the lights on.
