Interview: Michael Locher of THE DA VINCI CODE at the Alley Theatre
To me, this iteration of THE DA VINCI CODE feels like it leans more towards the book in pure content, but at the same time, you can look at the film and our stage adaptation as sort of accomplishing similar tasks....
Interview: Christy Watkins of FREUD'S LAST SESSION at A.D. Players
A.D. Players continues its tradition of thought-provoking theatre with Freud’s Last Session, a play that imagines an extraordinary meeting between Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and C.S.

Interview: Saul Newport of ROCK AND ROLL AND TUTUS at Houston Ballet
For Houston Ballet dancer Saul Newport, Rock and Roll and Tutus is more than just a performance program. It is a test of versatility, artistry, and endurance.

Interview: Michelle Britton And Adrienne Shearer of DANCING LESSONS at Lionwoman Productions
It's about a man with Asperger's and his, what I like to say, his dogged determination to learn to dance, because he has a very public, potentially horrifying public event coming up, an awards dinner....
Interview: Krystal Uchem of PURLIE VICTORIOUS at Main Street Theater
Main Street Theater continues its season with Ossie Davis’ groundbreaking satire Purlie Victorious, a play that blends sharp humor with a powerful exploration of race, dignity, and resilience.

Interview: Rhett Martinez of THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER at Mildred's Umbrella
It is about a family living through a dystopian future that's only a few years into our future, the year 2029. In which… try to follow me on this, see if you can imagine America in this way. It's an America run by right-wing conservative Christians who oppress anyone who isn't like them, to the po...
Interview: John Patterson of INCIDENT AT VICHY at Theatre Southwest
Arthur built such a great crescendo that there's no stepping off the train, as, if you will, anywhere where you lose momentum by taking a break. So we just push right through the 90 minutes. Just one act, and you're out of the theater....
Interview: Iván Moreno of AMERICAN PSYCHO THE MUSICAL at Houston Broadway Theatre
Playing this character has been so, so fun, mainly because we're sort of reinventing him, me and Joe Calarco, who's our incredible director....
Interview: Aaron Alon of THE CHOSEN ONES at Thunderclap Productions
And I realized that this is a subject that I feel like we've stopped talking about, even though it's still a really big deal. The big national organization, Exodus, had been dissolved. And that's a really interesting story, actually, about how that ended. And they had so much more presence in the me...
Interview: Domenico Leona of PULLMAN,WA at THE PHOENIX GROUP

Interview: Joel Sandel of THE WIZARD OF OZ at AD PLAYERS
Joel Sandel has been referred to as the “Energizer Bunny” of Houston's acting scene, and this captures him perfectly. He’s acted in so many shows that we couldn't even name them all, and even when faced with a medical emergency, he just bounces right back on the stage....
Interview: Kristina Sullivan of THE LAST FIVE YEARS at Queensbury Theatre
It’s fascinating. I remember the first time I was introduced to the show, and, like my mind, was blown by the device. If you read Jason Robert Brown, it's almost like he just kind of stumbled on it. I thought it would be a cool thing to do. But it's so novel....
Interview: Rediscovering the Scarecrow in A.D. Players’ THE WIZARD OF OZ with Matthew Steven Lawrence

Interview: Meaghan Heath of IOLANTHE at Gilbert And Sullivan Society Of Houston
For Meaghan, stepping into the title role of Iolanthe with the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston is more than just a chance to don wings and enchant an audience—it’s a full-circle moment years in the making. After a pandemic-canceled debut in the same role, this production offers both pers...
Interview: Austin Colburn of THE LAST FIVE YEARS at Queensbury Theatre
So I started as a dancer. At age eleven, my sister was taking classes, and she came home and was showing me moves and stuff from her solo because she was a competitive dancer, and I started picking all that stuff up....
Interview: Paige Hathaway of THE MIRROR CRACK'D at Alley Theatre
So the challenge with this show is, it is not just one location. It's like Miss Marple's cottage. It's a movie studio. It's a dressing room and a soundstage in the filming studio. And then there's this enormous manor called Gossington Hall....
Interview: Ramone Nelson of PARADE at Broadway At The Hobby Center
It's a true story. It's a dramatization about a man who moves to Marietta, Georgia, and is falsely convicted of murder. It's his journey of trying to prove his innocence, while simultaneously we see and follow this love story between him and his wife, Lucille....
Interview: Tamarie Cooper & Kyle Sturdivant of ANOTHER DING DANG TAMARIE SHOW

Interview: Derek Charles Livingston of LET.HER.RIP. at Stages Houston
I've known about Maggie and this play for four years. In fact, when I was at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Director of Play Development, I chose this play for one of our development processes. So I was part of this play's development. There have been subsequent workshops, and I didn't know this...
Interview: Brett Ishida of INSIDE MY WALLS at Ishida Dance Company
I thought there must be a way to create really beautiful, high-level productions that people understand and walk away with meaning....
