Description

Bongo and the Point 50's and 60's stage band Bongo and the Point. Currently, Bongo and the Point is Jim & Dee Patton, although the band has seen many incarnations. Jim & Dee, as Bongo, perform oldies from the late 50's and early 60's almost exclusively when playing live, but are also singer/songwriter types and have gold and platinum albums hanging around the house for songs written in the past and continue to be prolific in the studio. You might just hear one of their originals if you happen to be in the right place at the right time and you can find some of them here on the website. When Bongo and the Point performs people have compared their vocal sound to The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees, The Four Seasons, The Hollies, and The Everly Brothers. So come on in, check out the music and then come on out to see them perform. As one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in Texas, the Historic Select Theater located at 114 N. Johnson St. is a true Texas (and Mineola) treasure. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Hooks opened the Theater as a movie house in 1920, and the building retains much of its historical style and ambiance today. In 1978, a group of actors determined to bring live theater to the Lake Country area formed the Lake Country Playhouse. They purchased the Theater in 1993, ensuring that Mineola would continue to have a movie theater and a venue for live theatrical and musical productions. The Playhouse produces four live plays each year one in each season and shows first run movies each weekend. Patrons especially love the summer musicals and popular Christmas shows. The Theater is also home to the Lake Country Symphonic Band (formally the Wood County Orchestra), which presents four scheduled performances during the year. Lake Country Playhouse is a non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. All donations to Lake Country Playhouse are deductible. The mission of Lake Country Playhouse is to promote the Arts in East Texas, and to provide a home for Performing Arts at its facility, the Historic Select Theater. Additionally, Lake Country Playhouse will maintain and operate the Select Theater as a historical treasure by continuing to show motion pictures in the longest continuous-operating movie theater in Texas.
