Texas in Paris is the musical journey, based on true events, of two singers, a man and a woman—one white, one black—invited to France to perform in a concert series. They have never met, have no professional singing experience and face the challenge of working together and co-existing in an unfamiliar world. Apprehensive of one another, they struggle with preconceptions but forge a surprising spiritual bond that transforms their onstage performance and their lives. Texas in Paris is a metaphor for the dilemma of race that is currently dividing our nation, focusing on two people from the heartland who, like most Americans, want to avoid talking about racism as an issue. But once in Paris, a dialogue emerges that could never have happened in their isolated worlds in the United States.
