Bernard Slade's TRIBUTE Begins Tonight at Texas Rep

The Texas Rep Theatre Co., Houston's Uptown Classic Theatre, continues its critically acclaimed 8th season with Bernard Slade's humorous and touching play TRIBUTE, in a new production directed by Walter Baker. TRIBUTE will preview tonight, May 2nd, celebrate its gala opening on Friday, May 3rd, and will run 4 performances a week through May 26th.

Bernard Slade created a wonderful romantic comedy with a huge heart when he wrote TRIBUTE, a father & son story of incredible warmth and humor. The play is about a father searching for a son, a son's acceptance of his father, and a man who is everyone's friend, and nobody's hero. The plot focuses on Scottie Templeton, a charming, popular personality who has spent his life shirking responsibility as he tap dances through life. When he discovers he is terminally ill, he attempts to reconnect with his long-estranged son - thus setting the stage for Slade's magical play of family love & redemption. From the award-winning writer of "Same Time Next Year", TRIBUTE is a heart-warming comedy about family and forgiveness.

The Texas Repertory Theatre production of TRIBUTE features Texas Rep favorites Jim Salners, Jeffrey S. Lane, Katrina Ellsworth, and Kyle Cameron as well as Niki Mondellini and Elizabeth Marshall, making their Texas Rep debut under the direction of Walter Baker.

Performing in its 8th anniversary season, The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. has become one of Houston's premiere theatrical venues, and continues to offer year-round seasons of plays and musicals to the deserving audiences of NW Houston.
