If you love theater, The Gin Game is a must! If you are not sure about theater, The Gin Game is a must!

If you are looking for a thoroughly entertaining way to spend a couple of hours on South Padre Island, The Gin Game is surely a must!

The Gin Game is a challenging show for any two performers as the tragic-comedy runs the full gamut of emotions. This show is definitely for mature audiences, not “G Rated”, but mesmerizing for sure. The original Broadway production, which was directed by Mike Nickols and starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, opened on Broadway in 1977 and ran for 517 performances. It is a show that has come to be closely associated with Cronyn and Tandy who are regarded as two of the great performers in American theatre.

The Gin Game is a Pulitzer Prize Winner and has been performed in more than 12 countries and is still showing worldwide. This production is directed by Eric Vela of the Camille Playhouse and is outstanding by any theatrical measure.
