Movies Under the Stars at the LBJ Ranch

Make plans to join Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site in celebrating the 109th anniversary of President Johnson’s birth.

The National Park Service will show the HBO film All the Way at dusk on the LBJ Ranch on August 26 as part of its “Movies Under the Stars” series. In All the Way, Bryan Cranston portrays President Johnson during his first year in office as he secures passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Robert Schenkkan, author of All the Way (both the play and movie screenplay), will introduce the movie at 7:30 pm, and provide insights into the making of the play and film. (All the Way is intended for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. The film contains scenes and language that some viewers may find offensive.)

Robert Schenkkan is an accomplished writer of plays, screenplays, and television miniseries. He has earned Tony and Writer’s Guild of America awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and three Emmy nominations. His many writing credits include 17 plays, such as Building the Wall and The Great Society, and four episodes of the HBO miniseries The Pacific. He served as the 2013 Harry Middleton Lecturer at the LBJ Presidential Library. Western National Parks Association (WNPA) is sponsoring Robert Schenkkan’s visit to the park.

All the Way will begin about 8:00 pm, and will be presented free of charge on a large outdoor screen. Access to the LBJ Ranch begins at 6:30 pm. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and refreshments. In case of inclement weather, call 830-644-2396 for updates on possible postponement.
