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.

A Familiar Favorite Gets a Fresh Voice in THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
Review: AMADEUS at REC ROOM ARTS
At first, when I heard Amadeus as a season opener, I thought, “How safe.
Review: COME FROM AWAY at Stages Houston
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.
Review: BABETTE'S FEAST at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
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
Would you believe me if I told you the hottest theater ticket in Houston this summer was to see a nun teach a class? Denise Fennell first debuted as Sister in LATE NITE CATECHISM at Stages Houston during 2007.
Review: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN at THE ALLEY THEATRE
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.
Review: MOULIN ROUGE! at Broadway At The Hobby Center
Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed into a musical mash-up extravaganza.
