For 28 straight years Tamarie Cooper has created all-new, smash-hit musicals. Maybe that’s why everyone’s always saying, “It wouldn’t be summer in Houston without a Tamarie Cooper Show.”
She’s back at it with her merry band of musical maniacs! How does she do it? How does she keep these gigantic casts and audiences coming back year after year? What is wrong with you all? And wait a minute… is that even the real Tamarie? Well, we know a few things you don’t and this year Tamarie’s sharing all her secrets about how the tap-dancing sausage gets made. Journey through her creative process as she wrestles with writer’s block, a sexy candy man, A.I. robots, flatulent bumblebees, and other distractions.
As always, Tamarie will be joined by a live band and a cast of Houston's funniest performers, bringing you an entirely original and completely irreverent musical bonanza. Think of it as a deeply personal look into the inner workings of this musical theatre juggernaut. Or just think about it as another ding-dang Tamarie Cooper Show.
WORLD PREMIERE
“Funny, loud, and completely stupid in all the best ways. Tamarie Cooper is a local theatre legend… Seriously, how does [she] not have her own HBO series?” – Houston Broadway World

Truly, these shows are ingenious musical sketch-comedy pieces that remind me a ton of both Carol Brunette and variety shows of the 70s as much as something like a South Park, The Simpsons, or Family Guy. They are a chance to watch “serious actors” let go and do really silly fun stuff that they almost never get to do in any other play, unleashed by any other company.
This show is a Houston summer tradition, and it is the Catastrophic Theatre's version of A Christmas Carol at the Alley or The Nutcracker at the Houston Ballet. Except every year, this one's a new script and a new ball of crazy to enjoy.
The Catastrophic Theatre will present the World Premiere of ANOTHER DING DANG TAMARIE SHOW. Learn more and see how to purchase tickets to the production here!
