Review: COLD WAR CHOIR PRACTICE at MAIN STREET THEATER
It’s flashy, loud, and has a silliness you can’t avoid. But there are the dark corners, and it does say a lot that you will be surprised to unravel.…

Review: PROOF at 4th WALL THEATRE COMPANY
4TH Wall does wonderful work here, and I really admire David Auburn’s script more for what it doesn’t do rather than what it does. It never really boils over into any sort of climax and refuses to offer an easy solution for anyone’s relationship in the show.…
Review: THORNFIELD at ZOOM SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTIONS
It is painstakingly faithful to the book, save for some extra beats that make Jane a more modern-minded woman. Rebecca Bernstein’s performance is wonderful and a career-high for her so far. Luke Hales is the right Rochester, and Todd Thigpen is a delicious Mason.…
Review: COLLECTIVE RAGE at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA
I never thought I would have such a good time watching five women talk about their sexual organs, but I absolutely understood every moment as if I had been lucky enough to have been assigned female at birth.…
Review: MYSTIC FAMILIAR at THE PHOENIX GROUP
It deserves a large run, but the Stinson House space makes it all so immediate. You will feel lucky if you get through the door.…
Review: XANADU at The Garden Theatre
The thing about this cast is they are having fun and putting the play in play, and the comedy in musical comedy. It’s a blast of nitrous oxide, a giggle when you need it, and a surprisingly inspiring take on the creative forces of having questionable taste.…
Review: A NICE INDIAN BOY at Aerial Roots Theatre
A NICE INDIAN BOY is one of the most fun romantic comedies that I have seen in years. It is such a nice surprise, and it really captures the heart of the team putting it on!…
Review: LATE NITE CATECHISM: SISTER ROLLS THE DICE at Stages Houston
Would you believe me if I told you the hottest theater ticket in Houston this summer was to see a nun teach a class? Denise Fennell first debuted as Sister in LATE NITE CATECHISM at Stages Houston during 2007. Since then, the actress has had one of the longest relationships between any Houston theat…
Review: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN at THE ALLEY THEATRE
This company is having a great time with a thriller, and it shows. I always feel like the “Summer Chills” is when these actors get to play!…
Review: THE GONDOLIERS at Gilbert And Sullivan Society Of Houston
A delightful evening of wit, charm, and impeccable musicianship awaits audiences at the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston's production of The Gondoliers. Long before Broadway became synonymous with the American musical, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were redefining what musical storytelling…

The Impresario
Mozart’s brief opera—featuring warring divas, a show within a show, and one of the composer’s greatest overtures—gets an English-language retelling from playwright Jim Luigs, the man behind hysterical musical Das Barbecü, based on Wagner’s Ring cycle. The work’s drama-filled...
Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera
Attention, Best in Show fans: Get ready to laugh uproariously at this chamber opera from composer David T. Little and librettist Royce Vavrek, a hilarious sendup of the little-known Belgian sport of professional finch-calling. The birds’ names alone are worth the price of...
