From the author of the book comes a wonderful tour and a riveting journey through the forgotten parts of downtown Galveston that were once bustling with wild parties and generous offerings of hourly love.
Join renowned author and speaker Kimber Fountain as she brings to life the tales – both tragic and triumphant – of Galveston’s Red Light District: A History of The Line
Known today as a colorful resort destination featuring family-friendly entertainment and a thriving arts district, Galveston was once notorious for its flourishing vice economy of illegal liquor and gambling and an infamous red light district called simply, “The Line.”
This unassuming five blocks of Postoffice Street came to life every night and remained a stubborn mainstay of the island cityscape for nearly seventy years. In the late 1950s, the era was known as the “Free State of Galveston” finally came to an end, and today, almost all that remains of its history has been sensationalized and marginalized.
Galveston was more than just a city of “gangsters” and lewd women, and Kimber Fountain pursues the authentic, sequestered story of women who wanted to make their own rules and the city that wanted to let them.
Tours are every Wednesday-Saturday starting at 7pm. Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased online at redlightdistricttoursofgalveston.com in advance or at the start of the tour (cash only).
Reservations are required for cash/onsite tickets, and both online ticket purchases and cash reservations must be made by 5pm the day of the tour.
The tour meets on the north steps of the old Galveston Post Office at 601 25th Street (corner of 25th and Church St.). Meet at the north steps located on Church Street side.
Tours begin promptly at 7pm. Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes early to ensure ample time to park and/or purchase onsite tickets.

Island ETC (East-End Theatre Company) is pleased to bring to our stage Kenneth Lonergan’s LOBBY HERO. Mr. Lonergan is the screenwriter who wrote/co-wrote Analyze This, Gangs of New York, Margaret, and Manchester By The Sea (Academy Award Winner for Best Original Screenplay.) LOBBY HERO first made its debut in 2001 and had a Broadway revival in 2018. A hot-button work ahead of the curve in exploring imbalances of power, LOBBY HERO is even more relevant today as these imbalances have become part of our national conversation in the era of #MeToo, Time’s Up, and Black Lives Matter.
LOBBY HERO will open at Island ETC, 2317 Mechanic in Galveston, on Friday September 13th with performances continuing through Saturday, October 5th. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm. There will be one Sunday matinee at 2:30pm on September 22nd.
LOBBY HERO is set in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building during a graveyard shift. Jeff, portrayed by Daniel Hicks, is the security guard in the lobby. Jeff is a worn-out, wisecracking slacker who is living with his brother but with lazy ambitions and full of envy of those more successful. His supervisor, William (Alric Davis) is a family man who takes his responsibilities seriously and has no time for those who do not. He is faced with a major dilemma when a family member is arrested. The lobby is very slow during the late evenings, so two beat cops make the building one of their stops. Bill (Ralph Biancalana) is a veteran cop who has his own way of doing things and has no problem bending the rules and Dawn (MaryAnna Nagorski) who is fresh out of the academy. Dawn idolizes Bill (possibly more). LOBBY HERO is a beautifully written comic-drama that explores basically honest characters dealing with sticky moral questions.
Tickets to LOBBY HERO are $25.00 for seniors and students and $30.00 for adults. Tickets may be purchased at www.islandetc.org. Group rates are available for groups of ten or more. If interested in information about these, please call ETC at 409-762-3556.
**Warning: LOBBY HERO contains profanity and adult content. ETC does not recommend this production for children.
