Beauty and Beast The Musical: Arguello’s ‘Belle’ is Masterful
CONROE, TX -- I’ve been to France before, but not to its 1750’s version, where a small village and surrounding woods has been transported to Conroe’s Crighton Theatre. In ‘Beauty and The Beast: The Musical,’ you will find an arrogant prince, cursed to a life with a grotesque facade, while a beautiful young lady has a passion for books but doesn’t quite fit in with village life. An assertive brut of a man will make his play for a wife, and a search for a missing father yields to self-sacrifice and the adventure of a lifetime. For Stage-Right of Texas, it is the final event of their 2023-24 season.
A Sip And A Thought: The Corner Pub’s ‘Moscow Mule’
CONROE, TX -- I know where I will be each November 9th, on the anniversary of The Fall of the Berlin Wall, remembering my dealings with the Russians at their checkpoints between West Germany and West Berlin, and even a tussle or two in East Berlin itself. My lips are sealed. I had stopped by one of downtown Conroe’s theaters to talk with a young actress that is performing in a show, but found she was a little too busy to speak with, so I lingered in Historic Downtown Conroe’s Switch a bit. I walked to the courthouse square, at Main and Simonton, then remembered a conversation I had with Joyce Pool, owner of The Corner Pub, located at the intersection of North Main and Simonton Streets. “Drop by anytime,” she said. I had met Joyce at a concert of the Conroe Symphony Orchestra. Well now was that time. I couldn’t turn tail and had nothing to show for in driving all the way from Montgomery to Conroe, a trip so long that I got lost three times in consulting my Key-Map.
