Latest Houston Reviews


Review: COCONUT CAKE at The Ensemble Theatre


by Jonathan Netek - May 11, 2025

Written by playwright Melda Beaty and directed by The Ensemble Theatre’s Artistic Director Eileen J. Morris, this slice-of-life play shines a spotlight on the narrative of five older men, figures who are often background characters in the stories we tell. ...

Review: BEDLAM'S HAMLET at 4th Wall Theatre


by Brett Cullum - May 05, 2025

And what of Wesley Whitson as Hamlet, perhaps the most challenging role in the entire canon of Shakespeare’s works? He is age-appropriate and fiercely dives into the madness for the first two-thirds, and then becomes steely and predatory for the final acts....

Review: LESSONS LEARNED: THE TIME OF MY LIFE at Stages Houston


by Brett Cullum - May 03, 2025

This is the first time Denise Fennell is playing herself, and it only took fifty years to get her here into the role she was born to play. She’s most known in Houston for donning a habit and chastising audiences about major holidays as Sister in the Late Night Catechism Series. Yet this show is wher...

Review: DAS BARBECÜ at Stages Houston


by Jonathan Netek - May 04, 2025

A hootin’, hollerin’, good time as a heroic Germanic saga goes Texan....

Review: DIXIE'S TUPPERWARE PARTY at Stages Houston


by Brett Cullum - April 16, 2025

Stages Houston has wisely brought in DIXIE’S TUPPERWARE PARTY for its last hurrah, and she is doing a mini-residency that the purveyor of plastic is in the middle of until April 20th. The simple show works well in the intimacy of the Sterling Theater space, and we’re closer to the saleswoman than we...

Review: BASKERVILLE: A SHELOCK HOLMES MYSTERY at Alley Theatre


by Jonathan Netek - April 11, 2025

Review: N at Company OnStage


by Brett Cullum - April 09, 2025

It’s a word that has divided people for generations, so much so that I won’t even write it in this review. Rising Houston actor Cardero Berryman thoughtfully directs N; surprisingly, this is his first time at the helm of a play. He has a wonderful cast, great technical support, and the appropriately...

Review: THE FROZEN SECTION thaws at Catastrophic Theatre


by Brett Cullum - April 07, 2025

It has a stunning cast, technical brilliance, and enough great poetic ideas to keep you thinking about it for days. It’s an intriguing piece that should have a long life. But in its current iteration playing at the MATCH, THE FROZEN SECTION runs long at almost two hours with no intermission, and the...
