Eddie Goes to Poetry City

by Richard Foreman

directed by Greg Dean

“You’re a mirror, Eddie.”

Eddie dreams of escape—from cruel co-workers, a doctor who is not a doctor, perhaps even the play itself! He dreams of escaping to Poetry City. When he arrives, he realizes it is actually his suffering and bewilderment that provide the keys to a new world, one vibrating with infinite possibilities. 

“[Foreman is] the reigning philosopher vaudevillian of the New York avant-garde…creating fractured dreamscapes in which life is the banana cream pie that keeps hitting you in the face.” – New York Times


Eddie Goes to Poetry City is directed and designed by Greg Dean and stars Noel Bowers, Karina Pal Montaño-Bowers, Jenna Morris, and Gabriel Regojo.

The production runs February 10 – March 4, 2023 at the Midtown Arts and Theater

Review: The Very Trippy EDDIE GOES TO POETRY CITY At Catastrophic Theatre

You won’t find a more technically stunning or well acted show in Houston right now. There is a lot to recommend EDDIE GOES TO POETRY CITY, but with one caveat. It will seem presentational and all stylistic performance rather than anything linear or narrative. If you love abstract or absurd theater you will be in heaven during your visit to Poetry City.

Eddie dreams of escape—from the office where he suffers at the hands of his co-workers, from a doctor whose treatments seem far worse than any medical complaint, perhaps from even the play itself!
