RICHARD CRAIG

Richard's 30-year career as an actor has taken him from Austin, Texas, to Oceano, California, with stops in between in Durango, Colorado; Logan, Utah; and Bakersfield, California. But most of his work has taken place in Austin. He won the B. Iden Payne Award for Best Featured Actor in a Comedy for his work in Street Theatre at Capital City Playhouse. Local theater companies he's worked with include ONSTAGE Theatre Company, Different Stages, Zachary Scott Theater Center, Tongue and Groove, Third Coast, Vortex Repertory Company, and The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance. He worked about 10 years in California doing melodrama theater in Oceano and Bakersfield. Some of Mr. Craig's favorite performances would be Weller in The Gin Game, Senex in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Gooper in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Richard Henry Lee in 1776, and Lady Augusta Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. Mr. Craig spent two summers in Logan as Guest Artist at the Old Lyric Repertory Company. He was a Founding Member of the Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville in Bakersfield.
