Friday Night Lights October 12, 2012

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Friday Night Lights. While it eventually found success as a beloved television series, the original film was based on H.G. Bissinger’s memoir. In the economically depressed town of Odessa, Texas, there’s little to look forward to except Friday night high school football games. When the star suffers a debilitating injury, hope seems lost until Coach Gary Gaines (played by Billie Bob Thornton) rallies the team to overcome their setbacks and depend on each other in order to make it to the state championships.
