Widely considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest works, and typically ranked alongside tragedies like Macbeth and Hamlet, OTHELLO explores themes of jealousy, racism, and the destructive nature of unchecked emotion.
Review: AN IDEAL MAN at CONE MAN RUNNING
AN IDEAL MAN is a fun spin on the source material, and it’s charming and affable in its delivery.

You really need a talented group of singers, and THE GARDEN THEATRE has put together a stacked cast of musical actors who have appeared in their shows over the last five years.

From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the 6 wives of Henry VIII take the mic and remix 500 years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st-century HERstory.

Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Choreography and Best Costumes, Some Like It Hot is set in Chicago during Prohibition, when everyone is thirsty for a little excitement.

Director Rob Melrose certainly knows how to pick actors and designers who know their craft and live it, while the rest merely exist.
Review: THE CHINESE LADY at Stages Houston
Another Lloyd Suh work pulls heartstrings this time at Stages.
Review: VENUS IN FUR at Dirt Dogs Theatre
For Knight, this represents her first chance to be the original aggressor rather than the avenging victim, and it’s wild to see her twist her narrative.
