Review: DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL at Drunk Shakespeare
by Brett Cullum - Nov 26, 2025

So, this DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL is completely irrelevant... err... irreverent, but refreshing. You know the story, and if you don’t, you haven’t been watching television or at the Alley for two decades or more.

Review: ANOTHER DING DANG TAMARIE SHOW! at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Jun 29, 2025

Truly, these shows are ingenious musical sketch-comedy pieces that remind me a ton of both Carol Brunette and variety shows of the 70s as much as something like a South Park, The Simpsons, or Family Guy. They are a chance to watch “serious actors” let go and do really silly fun stuff that they almost never get to do in any other play, unleashed by any other company.

This show is an amazing achievement where the right script, cast, and creative team come together to produce something unique and visionary. MEMORIAM is a blend of the best of all the theatrical arts combined and sparks a fiery storm of emotions.

Review: MISS LARAJ'S HOUSE OF DYSTOPIAN FUTURES at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
by Brett Cullum - Feb 8, 2025

Playwright, director, and actress Candice D’Meza swings for the fences up in the sky with MISS LARAJ’S HOUSE OF DYSTOPIAN FUTURES, but this is hardly a surprise to anyone who has been following her work here in Houston.

World Premiere of MISS LARAJ'S HOUSE OF DYSTOPIAN FUTURES by Candice D'Meza Comes to The Catastrophic Theatre
by Stephi Wild - Jan 28, 2025

In this post-apocalyptic riff on 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' Fred's long since gone and Nature itself is now the main character. Enter Miss LaRaj-our wise and wisecracking MUTHA of the New World Order.

Review: TAMARIE'S TEXAS TOAST is Delicious at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Jun 30, 2024

This company is just really strong at putting on funny-as-hell musical sketch comedies. It’s as if SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE were written by Kander and Ebb.

Review: IT IS MAGIC at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Feb 16, 2024

IT IS MAGIC is far from false advertising because this play, this cast, and this team make some pretty strong magic from Mickle Maher’s latest play. Just sit back, relax, and let it all wash over you is my advice. It’s funny, it’s quirky, and it is unlike anything else you are likely to see anytime soon. CATASTROPHIC THEATRE has always promised to destroy us, and they seem to be inching closer and closer… and closer. This is the next step in their nefarious plan.

by Miranda Keating - May 30, 2023

On May 10th, I had the joy of seeing Mildred's Umbrella's latest production, Elizabeth A.M. Keel's TOOTH AND TAIL. Even though the show's short run is now over, I wanted to share my thoughts about TOOTH AND TAIL to shine a light on Keel's work as well as the artistry that every person involved with the show brought to Houston.

by Miranda Keating - Nov 23, 2022

The Catastrophic Theatre is now presenting the world premiere of THEY DO NOT MOVE by Brian Jucha with the Catastrophic ensemble. There is joy to be found in this show because it brings its audience in, has them constantly take stock of new situations, causes them to reflect on the state of the world today, and strikes to inspire positive change.

BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF SEVILLE colonizes the Alley at Mildred's Umbrella
by Brett Cullum - Apr 1, 2019

The script spins out a fast funny farce that reminds me of a politically informed Monty Python skit. Even though the premise sounds like a stuffy costume drama, this is more SOUTH PARK meets 1500s Spain.
