Ann Richards News

Discover the Austin Gay Men's Chorus spring show, a musical journey that highlights key moments in social movements, offering a unique blend of song and history.

Ann Richards was probably the luckiest politician in Texas history. The incumbent State Treasurer (not exactly a high-profile partisan office) in 1990, she was the Democrats choice to run for Governor.

The Garden Theatre is currently presenting ANN, a one-woman show highlighting the life of the prolific Texas governor, Ann Richards. Nora Hahn stars as Ann, and with her ability to play to the audience in such an intimate way yet still have the gravitas of a bold politician, Hahn was clearly the right choice.

'There's nobody like her, and I don't think there could be anyone like her in politics or in government these days. It's changed so much. But, my Lord, did we have a treasure when we had her.'

The Garden Theatre brings the inspiring story of Texas Governor Ann Richards to life in their production of 'Ann' at MATCH. Don't miss local actress Nora Hahn's captivating performance. Running from February 2-11, 2024 at Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston.

WaterTower Theatre Producing Artistic Director Shane Peterman and Associate Producer Elizabeth Kensek has announced casting and creative details for the one person play ANN starring Morgana Shaw as the incomparable Ann Richards, the legendary late Governor of Texas.
