Lawson great in ‘Fiddler’
BY RICK MAUCH
There are many very good reasons to see the Granbury Theatre Company’s production of “Fiddler On The Roof.”
And there’s one great reason. Brian Lawson.
In arguably the best performance ever given by a local actor on a Granbury stage, Lawson is nothing short of magnificent in the role of Tevye, the main character. For lack of a better way to phrase it, this was truly a role he was born to play.… Read the rest

No joke, see this show
An absolutely hilarious show is playing at the Granbury Theatre Company this month.
