Review: DISGRACED at SHUNYA THEATRE COMPANY
Ayad Akhtar’s debut play from 2012 seems as relevant today as it did fourteen years ago, and it packs a wallop! It was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for literature in 2013, and Shunya Theatre Company’s revival is definitely worth attending.
Review: WE ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT at Company OnStage
WE ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT is co-produced by The Phoenix Group and Company OnStage and written by local Houston playwright Austin Brady.

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing the morning of September 11, 2001, and as a former New Yorker who lived there when it happened, that day is indelibly burned into my memory.
Review: RHINOCEROS at THE CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
This company is at the top of its game, and the performances of George Parker and Kyle Sturdivant are iconic.

The acting here is superb, a very strong ensemble taking on a literary tale of how art can transform the world.
REVIEW: The Ensemble Theatre’s Purpose Is a Funny, Fierce, and Deeply Human Family Affair
What occurs when your family name has more importance than you do? This question sits at the center of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play Purpose, currently being performed at The Ensemble Theatre, and the answer is messy, hilarious, uncomfortable, and profoundly human.
Review: COLD WAR CHOIR PRACTICE at MAIN STREET THEATER
It’s flashy, loud, and has a silliness you can’t avoid.
Review: PROOF at 4th WALL THEATRE COMPANY
4TH Wall does wonderful work here, and I really admire David Auburn’s script more for what it doesn’t do rather than what it does.
Review: THORNFIELD at ZOOM SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTIONS
It is painstakingly faithful to the book, save for some extra beats that make Jane a more modern-minded woman.
Review: COLLECTIVE RAGE at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA
I never thought I would have such a good time watching five women talk about their sexual organs, but I absolutely understood every moment as if I had been lucky enough to have been assigned female at birth.
Review: MYSTIC FAMILIAR at THE PHOENIX GROUP
It deserves a large run, but the Stinson House space makes it all so immediate.
Review: XANADU at The Garden Theatre
The thing about this cast is they are having fun and putting the play in play, and the comedy in musical comedy.
Review: A NICE INDIAN BOY at Aerial Roots Theatre
A NICE INDIAN BOY is one of the most fun romantic comedies that I have seen in years.
Review: LATE NITE CATECHISM: SISTER ROLLS THE DICE at Stages Houston

This company is having a great time with a thriller, and it shows.

Review: CHALLENGING BROWN at Shabach Enterprises
You will leave with many questions about how we deal with our past and how we can move forward socially while personally constrained.

Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed into a musical mash-up extravaganza.
