So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.

WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz...but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent.

When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships...until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think."

Wicked will be in San Antonio at Majestic Theatre, December 20, 2023 - January 7, 2024. Click the poster below for more information & to purchase tickets.

Vision Films Sets Release Documentary for Veteran Suicide Awareness 'TRIBAL'

Vision Films, Inc. has scheduled the Transactional VOD release of TRIBAL, the 85-minute narrative-driven documentary by Army infantry veteran Mark Kershaw and directed by the Borrego Brothers, on December 19, 2023. Kershaw, an Afghanistan veteran, used his own savings to independently finance this project. Firsthand accounts by enlisted Army veterans John "Michael" Gomez, Omar Hernandez, and Marine veteran Wade Spann, are bolstered by short reenactments. Each testimonial candidly addresses suicide, PTSD, and intimate stories and feelings about the challenges of loss, reintegration, and the need for community, brotherhood, and overall purpose after serving.

In honor of our Veterans…and from the sons of a friend (the Borrego Brothers) and client who is local Bob Borrego (Borrego Fine Jewelry).

Belgian Sweets is an authentic European eatery & dessert shop right in the heart of San Antonio

No artificial or chemical flavorants, no gimmicks or gamesmanship or clever marketing ploys, they are just about the food and the ambiance you're eating it in. And while all of the products are sophisticated, in almost all cases they are still the kinds of things that children enjoy as well, so feel free to bring the entire family. Note too that they have expanded from the early roots as dessert specialists, to now offering a fairly broad variety of savory foods as well.
