Tickets are now on sale for Rockport Little Theatre’s teen performance of Moises Kaufman’s “The Laramie Project”.
This dramatic production has been selected by our teens for RLT’s 2026 summer program, “Centerstage: The Teen Connection”, a top to bottom teen driven project where the students select the play and directors are chosen from the previous year’s performance. All participants are between the ages of 13-18 and they have taken great care in the development of this very powerful story.
“The Laramie Project” is a deeply complex portrait of a community’s response to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man living in Laramie, Wyoming. The actors play multiple roles while conveying contrasting views, spotlighting the seismic and deeply personal impact Matthew’s death had on the small town while also demonstrating the power of the human spirit to triumph over bigotry and violence.

Reception Saturday, May 9 | 5-7PM
A Layered Space: Coming Up For Air (v.6) expands this approach by transforming plants and trees into elaborate, hybrid forms. Arnold combines real branches with Canvas Peel leaves and flowers from multiple species, alongside unexpected materials such as scraps from her Closet Series. Wedding dress satin, plaid, and denim are reimagined as foliage, collapsing distinctions between the natural and the domestic. Acting as a horticulturist of this strange landscape, Arnold aims to “almost overwhelm the viewer with a landscape totally twisted up—like elements our minds develop while we sleep, with blended memories and objects.”

The first Rockport Art Festival was hosted in 1969 and has grown to become one of the most respected, and longest-running juried art festivals in the United States. Every year since 1993, a diverse committee of artists and art patrons gathers to select one master artist for the annual event, the first of whom was master artist Harold Phenix. This select group of chosen artists are known for their achievements in the Arts, for their engagement and contributions to the Rockport Center for the Arts, and for their ability to capture the coastal aesthetic that is uniquely Rockport and that is recognized across the State of Texas.

Elena Rodz – Oil Painter
The 2026 Master Artist – the 34th recipient of the prestigious title, Elena Rodz, former RCA Curator, is known for her evocative nocturnal oil paintings that reflect her surrounding environments. Elena continues a celebrated tradition that began in 1993 with Harold Phenix. The honor includes a solo exhibition during Rockport Art Festival, one of the longest-running juried art festivals in the U.S., held annually on the July Fourth weekend.
Rodz will also create an original work for the Art Auction Gala, a long-standing kickoff event for the festival. A limited edition fine art print, produced by Hare and Hound Press in San Antonio, will be available for order from Rockport Center for the Arts.
Born in Chalk Mountain, Texas, Elena Rodz spent her childhood among barn cats and open skies. Her early love of art was nurtured by visits to the Dallas Museum of Art and the Amon Carter Museum with her grandmother. After earning a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art, she established studios in Brooklyn before returning to Texas in 2013.
Rodz fell in love with the flat, vast landscape of the Gulf Coast and made Corpus Christi her permanent home. She served as curator for Rockport Center for the Arts for a decade, helping to connect a small town with the larger contemporary art world. Since 2023, she has taught at Del Mar College, mentoring the next generation of artists. Her home is lovingly shared with pets who outnumber the people two-to-one.
