by Brett Cullum - Nov 11, 2025

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.

Review: BEDLAM'S HAMLET at 4th Wall Theatre
by Brett Cullum - May 5, 2025

And what of Wesley Whitson as Hamlet, perhaps the most challenging role in the entire canon of Shakespeare’s works? He is age-appropriate and fiercely dives into the madness for the first two-thirds, and then becomes steely and predatory for the final acts.

by Brett Cullum - Jun 18, 2024

Review: A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD at Stages Houston
by Brett Cullum - Jun 1, 2024

Intimacy is one of STAGES THEATRE’s core values. And they should point to this anytime they want to proclaim proof of it. You can’t do this in a larger space. Nobody else in town could pull this off. It is a prime example of what this company does best.
