Watch their fictionalized, live television reunion 35 years later play out in front of you. “ACES!” is full of love, laughs, Texas, and a whole lot of champagne. There are a lot of actual facts included in “ACES!,” however the reunion has not taken place… yet!
This event is a fundraiser for the Lake Jackson Historical Association and is presented by GiGi Productions. “ACES!” was written by Lake Jackson playwright Davis Gordon Gilbert and held its Texas premier earlier this year at MATCH in Houston. We’re thrilled to have the same cast and director join us here in Lake Jackson!
