**The Players Unveil “A Legacy of Laughter and Tears” for Landmark 60th Anniversary Season**

Conroe, TX – The Players, Conroe’s esteemed community theatre group, is set to celebrate a significant milestone, unveiling their 2024-2025 season lineup themed “A Legacy of Laughter and Tears,” commemorating six decades of theatrical excellence. Founded in 1965 with their debut production of *The Curious Savage*, the group has become a cultural cornerstone in the Conroe community, and their 60th anniversary season promises a diverse array of productions reflecting their rich history.

All five mainstage productions will take place at the Nancy Peet Theatre, the group’s dedicated home at 2575 Conroe Park North Drive.

Kicking off the landmark season is Neil Simon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, *Lost in Yonkers*, a poignant and humorous family drama. Audiences can catch this critically acclaimed production from August 16th through 25th, 2024, setting a high bar for the season’s emotional breadth.

As the year draws to a close and the festive season approaches, The Players will present the classic holiday musical *Irving Berlin’s White Christmas*. This beloved production, complete with iconic songs and dazzling choreography, is scheduled to run from December 6th to 22nd, 2024, promising to be a highlight of Conroe’s holiday festivities.

Moving into 2025, the stage will host the wildly popular and critically acclaimed comedy *The Play That Goes Wrong*. Known for its slapstick humor, intricate physical comedy, and disastrous theatrical mishaps, this show is guaranteed to deliver uproarious laughter from February 7th to 23rd.

Spring brings a touch of local flavor and a spirited musical with *The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas*. This classic American musical, with its engaging story and catchy tunes, will entertain audiences from April 25th to May 11th, offering a vibrant narrative with a unique Texas connection.

Concluding the season, The Players will continue their tradition of fostering young talent with their popular Youth Summer Production. For 2025, the stage will be transformed into an underwater adventure for *Disney’s Finding Nemo JR.*, scheduled to run from July 18th to 27th, giving young performers a chance to shine and offering family-friendly entertainment.

Mark Holley, President of The Players’ Board of Directors, emphasized the profound significance of this anniversary. “For sixty years, The Players has been a cornerstone of Conroe’s cultural landscape, sustained by the unwavering dedication of countless volunteers, artists, and our incredible patrons,” Holley stated. “This season is not just a celebration of our past, but a testament to the enduring power of live theatre and our commitment to bringing diverse stories to our community. ‘A Legacy of Laughter and Tears’ perfectly encapsulates the rich tapestry of emotions we’ve shared, from our humble beginnings with *The Curious Savage* to the ambitious productions we present today.”

Holley highlighted the group’s continuous journey of growth, adaptability through various challenges, and its role in nurturing local talent and fostering a vibrant arts scene in Conroe. “We’re excited to continue this legacy, inviting new generations to experience the magic of theatre, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the audience,” he added.
