Hot off the heels of sellout smash Pride and Prejudice, 4th Wall Theatre Company is starting 2019 with another Houston premiere, Rapture, Blister, Burn by Gina Gionfriddo. This 2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist is a comedic but unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of fourth-wave feminism. As a piece thats part history lesson, part gender prognostication, and part laugh-out-loud comedy, we think theres something here for everyone, says Kim Tobin-Lehl, Director and 4th Wall Co-Artistic Director. Its a whip-smart story that asks its audience to wrestle with a variety of perspectives, hopefully leaving us all smiling and a little wiser in the end. The play follows two successful women on radically opposing trajectories. One has built a career as a rockstar academic while the other has built a loving home; each, however, longs for the road not taken. In this dangerous game of musical chairs, audiences will enjoy Gionfriddos searing insight and trademark wit on full display.4th Wall Theatres production of Rapture, Blister, Burn will run February 28 March 23, 2019, at Studio 101, Spring Street Studios, 1824 Spring Street, Houston, TX 77007. Shows run at 7:30pm on Thursdays through Saturdays and at 3:00pm on Sundays. Tickets run from $17 to $53, with a Pay-What-You-Can performance Monday, March 18. There will be cast talkbacks following the Sunday matinees on March 10 and March 17. The play contains adult language and themes.

4th Wall Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization founded in 2011 by Kim Tobin-Lehl and Philip Lehl.
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.
