Performed to a sell-out crowd at Garland's Plaza Theatre, the award-winning "Becoming Garland Avenue" told the story of the founding of Garland's 11th Street—first named Garland Avenue—in the early part of the last century, a controversial development because of Travis College Hill's location on the then-far western fringes of town. A one-act drama with eight original songs and original script, "Becoming Garland Avenue" depicted some of the town's early leaders, especially the town's forward-thinking newspaper editor who crusaded to push Garland forward.
