Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Theatre Under the Stars


by Brett Cullum - October 26, 2024

The cast here is immaculate, and LITTLE SHOP is a character actor’s dream come true. Everyone gets to play bigger and broader, and we get to see them have a ball, bringing these kooky archetypes to life. They are all pitch-perfect and create a wonderfully realized revival of this show for Houston ju...

Review: THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING at MAIN STREET THEATER


by Brett Cullum - October 23, 2024

THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING is a unique experience theatrically, and it’s certainly something to let seep into you and discuss later. I find myself just walking around the house, and a line or two will pop up in my head, and I have only seen this play once. It is that powerful, that invasive, and t...

Review: RACE is confronted by DIRT DOGS THEATRE CO


by Brett Cullum - October 21, 2024

It takes on the clash of white men, black men, and black women and fearlessly looks at all sides when confronted with a crime. Who will do the right thing? It’s a question that seems to hang over the country right now, so RACE could not come at a better time....

Review: DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY


by Brett Cullum - October 15, 2024

Houston’s CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY has decided to take it back to the original written word and return Dracula to the status of a demon rather than a lover. And yet, somehow, they have cast Spencer Plachy, who is the most swoon-worthy actor Houston has, a man who has embodied Mr. Darcy for years. A...

Review: ASSASSINS Offers Another National Anthem at THE GARDEN THEATRE


by Brett Cullum - October 13, 2024

When all is said and done, you have to applaud the bravery of this show. In an October where everyone else is offering safe fare such as British comedies, yet another take on Dracula, and an additional adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, this small company is daring you to face what might be wrong with A...

Review: SPIRITS TO ENFORCE from Catastrophic Theatre


by Brett Cullum - September 22, 2024

Are the superheroes really simply the spirits that Prospero conjured on the island? Could Fathom City have been taken over by Dr. Cannibal (an anagram for Caliban) because he fled and tossed his books into the sea? Is this a sequel, a salute, or a sardonic spoof of Shakespeare’s work?...

Review: CRY IT OUT at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA


by Brett Cullum - September 14, 2024

Sometimes, a play does what no other artistic medium can do. It can feel intimate, immediate, and alive. CRY IT OUT from MILDRED’S UMBRELLA is one of those living productions that feels like you are watching three real women deal with being a mother and looking at how that is going to affect every a...
