Friends of Historic Nacogdoches Presents: The Crash at Crush: A Musical Comedy
Friends of Historic Nacogdoches, Inc. invites you to enjoy a new musical comedy, “The Crash at Crush,” performed by Austin-based performance group, Texas Comedies.
 
The Crash at Crush is based on an incredible true story of a staged train crash near the temporary town of Crush, TX. Spurred by bankruptcy, bizarre railroad employees, and the Ringling Brothers Circus, William Crush created an explosive new form of mass entertainment in the form of a staged train crash.
 
Join in the music, laughter, and lively performance on Friday, May 15th, 2026, at 7:00 pm at Zion Hill Historic Site at 324 N. Lanana St. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Zion Hill or online at eventbrite.com. This performance is free for members of Friends of Historic Nacogdoches, Inc.
