A Christmas Story at the Crighton Theatre

Stage Right of Texas, the resident community theatre company at the historic Crighton Theatre, stages A Christmas Story for the holidays in downtown Conroe.

Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. The closing time on the last day is an estimate. Where: Crighton Theatre, 234 N. Main St, Conroe, TX 77301.
