ABOUT THE PROJECT
Mom and Pop Grocery Store: A Houston Story is a new documentary that tells the story of a tiny building that sat at 1706 Alamo in Houston’s First Ward. The story spans the early 1950s-1980s when inner-city neighborhoods began to change and once again in the 1990s when Houston’s growth as a major metropolis boomed, and how a tiny grocery store building changed the face of Houston’s theater scene.
The documentary will include the cultural landscape of Houston’s vibrant theater/art scene with commentary from theater artists and perspectives from city and theater historians. This will be a well-documented, unprecedented Houston story of opportunity and unlimited individual achievements.
The documentary will be released digitally showcasing Houston as a cultural destination and spotlighting the individuals who continuously make our city a dynamic arts hub.
