Lonesome Dove Closing Reception with Dr. Landon Lutrick - FREE EVENT

03/22/2026 02:00 PM – 03/22/2026 03:00 PM

Join us for an engaging conversation exploring the differences between novel and miniseries on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 2pm. Moving beyond cinematic themes, this talk will examine the rise of author Larry McMurtry, the anticipation and success of the novel, and how the miniseries came to life. We’ll explore what changed from page to screen, what was streamlined or left out, and how each medium tells the story differently. Through side-by-side comparisons, we’ll consider what each version does best — and invite you to decide: are you loyal to the book, or the miniseries?
