Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA PART ONE: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES at REC ROOM ARTS
by Brett Cullum - Nov 11, 2025

Rec Room Arts has delivered at least the first half of a miracle. This is something that feels less like a revival and more like a call to arms, and Kushner’s words echo louder and more forcefully than ever. 

Review: ENDGAME at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Sep 23, 2025

Before this world ends, you need to see Catastrophic’s staging of ENDGAME starring Greg Dean and directed by Jason Nodler. They never truly seem to be finished with this one, but you can’t honestly expect the world to be here for a revival in thirteen years.

Review: TOROS at Rec Room Arts
by Armando Urdiales - May 26, 2025

With expert direction, brilliant acting, and masterly design elements, Rec Room Arts latest outing of Danny Tejera's Toros is a production that will leave Houston audiences with complicated emotions about this coming-of-age story. While Tejera's work is a dramedy, Rec Room Arts decision to delve into this story, with its themes of toxic masculinity, the transition into adulthood, and the complexities of friendship, is a genius one.

Review: DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - Oct 15, 2024

Houston’s CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY has decided to take it back to the original written word and return Dracula to the status of a demon rather than a lover. And yet, somehow, they have cast Spencer Plachy, who is the most swoon-worthy actor Houston has, a man who has embodied Mr. Darcy for years. Also, a man sexy enough to star in the Broadway tour of THE LION KING shirtless as Scar. It’s wild to see Darcy do Dracula and do it as a feral animal to boot. See what our critic had to say.

Review: The Very Trippy EDDIE GOES TO POETRY CITY At Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Feb 14, 2023

You won’t find a more technically stunning or well acted show in Houston right now. There is a lot to recommend EDDIE GOES TO POETRY CITY, but with one caveat. It will seem presentational and all stylistic performance rather than anything linear or narrative. If you love abstract or absurd theater you will be in heaven during your visit to Poetry City.

The Catastrophic Theatre Presents EDDIE GOES TO POETRY CITY By Richard Foreman
by A.A. Cristi - Jan 12, 2023

Eddie dreams of escape—from the office where he suffers at the hands of his co-workers, from a doctor whose treatments seem far worse than any medical complaint, perhaps from even the play itself! 

Review: MANDELA, The Young Vic
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 11, 2022

To paraphrase Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, when Mandela is good, it’s very, very good, and when it’s bad, it’s almost unwatchable.
