The Trail of Lights offers a fun and safe way to view Christmas lights on a walking tour that leads visitors through over four acres of decorated Wonderland with Ye Olde Yule Log burning nightly as weather permits.

There is no admission to the Trail of Lights, however donations are gratefully accepted. This is a walking trail, and it is not wheelchair accessible, but we do have golf carts for handicapped individuals. It is also possible to unload people at the Yule Log. Contact our office if you will need assistance and we will be there to help you! We also have portable restroom facilities including one that is wheelchair accessible.

The EmilyAnn Theatre invites you and yours to become part of our growing family. By attending events at the theatre, you are supporting your community and the arts, but just as important, you will open your life to a wonderful avenue of positive and life-affirming events. What events you ask? I’m so glad you did. 

The Trail of Lights: Claim a part of the EmilyAnn for your family, at least for a little while! Every December, families and businesses in Wimberley become our Holiday Elves! Pick out a spot in the EmilyAnn gardens to decorate for the holiday season. Use lights, cutouts, decorations, whatever suits your fancy and create a special place at the EmilyAnn to celebrate the most joyous time of year! Work Days for the Trail of Lights are every weekend in November, so even if you don’t want a place all your own, come on out and help hang lights! The Trail of Lights continues nightly from 6 to 11 PM through January 1, 2005.

Butterfly Day: Emily Ann Rolling was just sixteen when her young life was cut short by a car accident, but her memory lives on in the vitality of the theatre named in her honor. Butterfly Day celebrates her life and the renewal of all life with the advent of Spring. Each April hundreds of butterfly larvae are given to school children throughout Wimberley to be raised for that triumphant day when they are released into the beautiful blue sky. Activities always include a variety of performances by local artists and a Silent Auction. Butterfly Day usually takes to the skies in April.

Star of the Hills: A brand new and very exciting event at the EmilyAnn did debut in May 2003. Star of The Hills, written by Wimberley’s very own Dorey Schmidt, and composer Carl Seale, is a musical historical drama which traces the heritage of Wimberley and the Valley through legend and song. This drama is intended to become a permanent attraction, not only as a major draw for Wimberley tourism, but as a continuation of the theatre’s commitment to service.

Shakespeare Under the Stars. Every August high school students from around the state present two plays by the Bard in the EmilyAnn outdoor theatre pavilion. Your ticket dollars support the EmilyAnn Theatre and the Shakespeare Under The Stars program, which means more great events at this one-of-a-kind non-profit outdoor theatre. Also, your attendance means a full audience--which is the best encouragement these students can ever receive. More praise, more recognition, means more students turning to positive community involvement. Amazing what you can do, isn’t it? 

There are so many ways to become a part of the EmilyAnn family but one of the best ways is to volunteer some of your valuable time. How remarkable to volunteer time, which is priceless, to your community and your community’s children. How incredible to be such a person!
