Review: BUG at Dirt Dogs Theatre Company
They have managed to restage BUG for 2025, and boy, is it a doozy! You don’t want to miss this revival and reimagining of the Tracy Letts cult classic.
Review: COCONUT CAKE at The Ensemble Theatre
Written by playwright Melda Beaty and directed by The Ensemble Theatre’s Artistic Director Eileen J.
Review: BEDLAM'S HAMLET at 4th Wall Theatre
And what of Wesley Whitson as Hamlet, perhaps the most challenging role in the entire canon of Shakespeare’s works? He is age-appropriate and fiercely dives into the madness for the first two-thirds, and then becomes steely and predatory for the final acts.
Review: LESSONS LEARNED: THE TIME OF MY LIFE at Stages Houston
This is the first time Denise Fennell is playing herself, and it only took fifty years to get her here into the role she was born to play.
Review: DAS BARBECÜ at Stages Houston
A hootin’, hollerin’, good time as a heroic Germanic saga goes Texan.
Review: THE WIZ at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
The national tour of The Wiz, currently running at Houston's Hobby Center through May 4, 2025, delivers a vocally powerful revival of the 1975 Tony Award-winning musical.

Come and get a sweet taste of this new production of the hit musical WAITRESS from Theatre Under The Stars and The 5th Avenue Theatre.
Review: DIXIE'S TUPPERWARE PARTY at Stages Houston

Review: BASKERVILLE: A SHELOCK HOLMES MYSTERY at Alley Theatre
BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY is a hilarious adaptation by playwright Ken Ludwig, of Alley’s Lend Me a Tenor fame.
Review: N at Company OnStage
It’s a word that has divided people for generations, so much so that I won’t even write it in this review.

It has a stunning cast, technical brilliance, and enough great poetic ideas to keep you thinking about it for days.

Tragedy tomorrow, Comedy (and Camp and Farce!) tonight at The Art Factory.

Review: DOUBT: A PARABLE at The Garden Theatre
Doubt is a bond as strong as certainty at The Garden Theatre

Let’s face it—this show is a phenomenon.

Strong performances in a fragile world.
Review: BLACKBIRD at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
This is a wonderfully produced version of an unflinching script, which may be the hardest part of BLACKBIRD.
Review: TOPDOG/UNDERDOG at 4th Wall Theatre Co.
4th Wall Theatre's production of Suzan-Lori Parks' Topdog/Underdog is a powerful, riveting exploration of family, survival, and identity that solidifies the company's reputation for bringing bold, intimate theater to life.
Review: SEARED at Alley Theatre
Things get pretty hot (in more ways than one) in this production of SEARED.
Review: THE WANDERERS at Mildred's Umbrella
Jennifer Decker is a pro at deconstructing relationships, and it is no surprise that she handles this material very well.
Review: SEVEN ASSASSINS WALK INTO A BAR at Main Street Theater
SEVEN ASSASSINS WALK INTO A BAR aims for the pop culture jugular and hits it quite well.

What did our critic think of THE FOREIGNER at AD Players?

This endearing production that captures the poignant journey of two recent immigrants who meet as strangers and forge a moving friendship is all heart.
