Successful Boston writer Don, having missed his father’s funeral three years earlier, now feels compelled to honor his father's request that his ashes be returned to his boyhood home. Don arrives, only to discover the family homestead is now a grocery store. Now comes the dilemma: what to do with Dad’s ashes? Not wanting to turn around and go back to tell Mom and Sis he failed his mission, Don retraces the family road trips to find the proper alternative resting place for his father’s ashes. The play features the all-too-familiar family road trips taken by Dad, Mom, Sis and Don throughout his childhood. Don relives these delightful disastrous family vacations – like those in all of our memories – through hysterical flashbacks from his past and vignettes including an assortment of present-day characters he meets along the way. See Leaving Iowa at Houston Family Arts Center from April 5-21, 2013!

Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, KIMBERLY AKIMBO is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age faster than it should. When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love. See Kimberly Akimbo at Country Playhouse in their Black Box from April 12-27, 2013.

Bravo Company held their showcase on Saturday , Nov. 7 at 2:30 PM. You missed a great opportunity to see raw talent in the formation stage. The younger kids did several montages together as a group while the older kids wrote and acted in their own original pieces.
Put "Ever After" scheduled at the end of May on your calendars. This will be Bravo Company's spring play. You will likely see kids like Ian (on the right) in "Ever After". Ian was also in the summer show "Cheaper by the Dozen". |

Internationally produced and currently recognized as the three most widely produced comedic playwrights in America - Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten - came to the Crighton for a visit. These authors are as genuine as their writing. What a gem! 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 will be presented 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.
Look for more southern comedies from this trio to be presented at the Crighton. Get your tickets online or call the Box Office at 936-441-7469 (SHOW). |
