by Brett Cullum - October 04, 2023

You are never going to see a more definitive version of this show in Houston, and CATASTROPHIC is the company to bring it to you....

Review: THE LARAMIE PROJECT at THEATRE SUBURBIA


by Brett Cullum - September 20, 2023

They have a mix of genders, races, and experience levels to work with. The result is what community theater is all about, a perfect blend of people coming together for a common cause. You can feel their love of the piece and each other radiating from the stage. This is why people adore and do commun...

Review: Feminist Farce 'POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE' is a Joyful Rollercoaster of Hilarity While Asking Real Questions


by Miranda Keating - September 14, 2023

'POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dubmass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive' is described as a 'feminist farce', which I think is the best definition of this delectable piece. I stepped into the theater one moment, and boom! It was done, flying by, and what a joy it was....

Review: MEDEA at Classical Theatre Company


by Brett Cullum - September 11, 2023

Callina is always a smart actress, and she mines this mythical lady for something more than simple madness. No, she finds a way to make her choices as an ultimate strategist even if she is a woman scorned. She is torn at every step of the way by the evilness of her plan, yet she knows if the wrongs ...

Review: FAR EAST at On the Verge Theatre


by Brett Cullum - September 04, 2023

The thing about FAR EAST is the emotional stakes are never high. Unlike MADAME BUTTERFLY where we are faced with a scorned woman and an illegitimate child, here we never see the soldier’s Japanese lover. And contrasted with FROM HERE TO ETERNITY where an affair is consummated on a wildly active beac...

Review: JAGGED LITTLE PILL at Theatre Under The Stars


by Brett Cullum - August 31, 2023

JAGGED LITTLE PILL is half brilliant and half hackneyed, but there are moments when it is dizzyingly great.  A clever but overstuffed book married with challenging pop rock songs keeps the cast and audience on their toes, but when it hits the high it is worth it.  “You Oughta Know” and “Uninvited” a...

Review: BONNIE & CLYDE at The Garden Theatre


by Brett Cullum - August 13, 2023

Review: 1776 Delivers The Founding 'Mothers' At Theatre Under the Stars


by Brett Cullum - July 21, 2023

I teasingly have been calling this 1776 - THE FOUNDING MOTHERS EDITION all week, and it is finally here at the Hobby Center brought in by Theatre Under the Stars. This is a New York cast hitting Houston for a three night stop of a national tour. My question is, does it really make that much of a sta...

Review: PRESENT LAUGHTER dazzles at MAIN STREET THEATER


by Brett Cullum - July 20, 2023

PRESENT LAUGHTER gets a stunning revival at Main Street Theater with a returning director and leading man remounting the show with a power packed cast.

Review: THE HOUSE OF PATRICK at Vincent Victoria Presents
