The acting here is superb, a very strong ensemble taking on a literary tale of how art can transform the world. It’s also a meditation on what we gain from immigrants who bring new perspectives, new expressions, and new art. At its heart, it’s about love and generosity of spirit.…
What occurs when your family name has more importance than you do? This question sits at the center of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play Purpose, currently being performed at The Ensemble Theatre, and the answer is messy, hilarious, uncomfortable, and profoundly human. Because of the direction by Eileen …
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.…
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.…
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.…
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.…
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.…
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.…
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!…
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…
It’s the 1590s and brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play. But they’re stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same...
The Tony Award-winning Best Musical is live in living color in at the Sugar Land Auditorium this summer! Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, is a family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful music. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and...
