Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Theatre Under the Stars
by Brett Cullum - October 26, 2024
The cast here is immaculate, and LITTLE SHOP is a character actor’s dream come true.

Review: THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING at MAIN STREET THEATER
by Brett Cullum - October 23, 2024
THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING is a unique experience theatrically, and it’s certainly something to let seep into you and discuss later. I find myself just walking around the house, and a line or two will pop up in my head, and I have only seen this play once. It is that powerful, that invasive, and that universally true.

Interview: SPENCER PLACHY of DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - October 17, 2024
I've tried to draw as much from the novel as I possibly could. I have seen a handful of film depictions. There's one thing in the novel that Van Helsing mentions about how Dracula has what Van Helsing calls a child's brain. That being undead, you are reborn at that moment, and much of your experience of the world around you starts over.

Review: DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - October 15, 2024
Houston’s CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY has decided to take it back to the original written word and return Dracula to the status of a demon rather than a lover. And yet, somehow, they have cast Spencer Plachy, who is the most swoon-worthy actor Houston has, a man who has embodied Mr. Darcy for years. Also, a man sexy enough to star in the Broadway tour of THE LION KING shirtless as Scar. It’s wild to see Darcy do Dracula and do it as a feral animal to boot. See what our critic had to say.
