What a thrill to be back at the historic Crighton and working in “A Real Live Theatre.” For many decades the Crighton Theatre has given professional quality entertainment to thousands of residents in Conroe and many of the surrounding areas. The beauty, charm, and history of this architectural masterpiece are truly inspiring.

It is a privilege for me to be directing my second show for STAGE RIGHT. The Board of Trustees has been totally supportive of everything that I have requested in order to produce this wonderful musical for your enjoyment.

I would like to thank STAGE RIGHT, the Crighton Theatre, the cast and crew for their hard work and trust in me to make this production come alive. Live theatre has always been my greatest passion because we touch each others lives through our God given talents.

Last but certainly not least I would like to thank YOU, the audience, for coming out to support STAGE RIGHT and their endeavors to keep the Crighton Theatre actively producing live theatre for many decades to come.

Sincere regards, Manny Cafeo
