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

Review: XANADU at The Garden Theatre

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.
