The Hilarious Musical comedy “Nunsense” opens in just 4 weeks and tickets are starting to sell fast. Hence, we encourage you to get your tickets soon so you don’t miss the opportunity to see this very funny audience participation production.
Meet Rev Mother. Sister Kristan Wood.

Kristan Wood owns Into the Woods Graphic Design company located in Pineland, TX. Besides Theatre, one of her passions is graphic design and art displays in a variety of mediums. If you have seen the murals on the side of the Pineywood Vineyard building: the “Welcome to Hemphill, Cow and Deer”, are her creations. Photography is another one of my favorite pastimes. She is so blessed to have my husband Daniel, and her daughters Ryia and A’laura, who not only support me but love to get involved in her projects. Kristan is not new to the Hemphill Little Theatre as she has performed in the “Odd Couple Female Version”& “Spitfire Grill” just to name a few shows.

She has also painted many of our show backdrops including “Aladdin” and now “Nunsense”. Now Kristan has spread her wings to try dancing (including the Can Can and Tap Dancing) and introducing you to a product called “RUSH”. Don’t miss the opportunity to see Kristan as Mother Superior. See you at the Hemphill Little Theatre.
