To wrap up its record-breaking season full of press favorites and Houston premieres, 4th Wall Theatre Company is delighted to share Pulitzer finalist Collected Stories by Donald Margulies. This production will feature Houstons beloved Kim Tobin-Lehl as Ruth Steiner, the exalted Greenwich Village short story writer, and joining Tobin-Lehl as Ruths protg, Lisa Morrison, is Houston native Reagan Elizabeth.I have been a fan of Collected Stories since I saw a production in college, and so I was thrilled to be asked to direct it. The writing is beautiful, the dialogue is so smart, but beyond that, I am fascinated by this relationship between the two women, said Jennifer Dean, director. The way we see the dynamics between them, and how they change over the years, makes me step back and think about my own relationships. I can't wait to dig into rehearsal with this talented cast.Collected Stories features two of Margulies most memorable characters, who move from mentor-mentee to friends to rivals tangled in a conflict of intellectual property rights. When Ruth shares the details of her youthful affair with real-life poet Delmore Schwartz, should Lisa get away with writing on the experiences to catapult her own career? The results are the crackling dialogue and sweeping themes that won Collected Stories the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best New Play and made the New York Post claim This is probably Margulies' best play to date

Our mission is to produce extraordinary professional theatrical experiences and to set a high standard for excellence in acting, direction, and design. We believe that by paying artists a fair wage, we can grow and sustain the community of professional theatrical artists in Houston. We believe in developing and promoting the highest aesthetic of acting that is truthful, by producing exciting, cutting-edge, live theatre. In the future, our dream is that 4th Wall’s attention to excellence in performance will attract not only the best theatrical artists in Houston, but also the best theatrical artists in the country. Believing that our ethical monetary treatment of these artists will inspire other theatres to mimic our mission, we dream of a day when these artists will not only call Houston home, but will be able to ply their trades without needing to work any other job. We aim toward a day when sustained theatrical excellence inspires our audience and community to hold our art and the artists who make it to be an indispensable and valued part of life in Houston.
