Press Releases

Annie is coming to the Crighton Theatre on July 23-August 8, 2010. But where can Annie find her dog Sandy? At the Montgomery County Animal Shelter - naturally. The Animal Shelter processes hundreds of dogs and cats every month. The shelter is staffed with volunteers who seek to help these animals find a home.

How can you help? Download the list of immediate needs. Bring items on this list directly to the shelter or when you come to the show. We will have a bin to collect items for the shelter during the run of the show. Perhaps you will be smitten with Sandy and volunteer to adopt a pet...

So who is this dog? Ginger will play Sandy. She's a labrador-airedale mix. She has a nice temperment but needs a lot of TLC. Currently Ginger is working with a trainer prior to fostering with one of the Annies. Meanwhile, the orphans that are looking for Sandy are practicing their songs. Take a sneak peak at the orphans.

STAGE RIGHT of Texas, now performing at the historic Crighton Theatre is getting ready for some very special visitors on March 12. Internationally produced and currently recognized as the three most widely produced comedic playwrights in America, Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten are coming to the Crighton for a visit. STAGE RIGHT audiences may recall that our highly popular productions of CHRISTMAS BELLES and SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY presented last season were written by Jones, Hope and Wooten. Additionally, DEARLY BELOVED, which we are going to present in April of this year, is also a Jones, Hope & Wooten play and is actually the first part of the hilarious trilogy of the Futrelle sisters of Fayro, Texas. So why are these renown playwrights coming to visit STAGE RIGHT?
