Review: WINTER SOLSTICE at Rec Room Arts
by Brett Cullum - Nov 25, 2024

The author wrote this dark piece about a liberal couple whose mother invites a conservative stranger into their house on Christmas Eve to show how easily fascism marches in politely and with charm. It’s a tense and moody winter tale and warns of the ineffectiveness of the left when faced with the right’s ability to make folks nostalgic for times long gone. It’s perfect for this time of year and certainly pointed in our current political climate of 2024.

Interview: SPENCER PLACHY of DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - Oct 17, 2024

I've tried to draw as much from the novel as I possibly could. I have seen a handful of film depictions. There's one thing in the novel that Van Helsing mentions about how Dracula has what Van Helsing calls a child's brain. That being undead, you are reborn at that moment, and much of your experience of the world around you starts over.

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 LION KING at the Eccles Theater is a Feast for the Senses
by Tyler Hinton - Oct 1, 2022

Read what our critic through of the national tour of THE LION KING at the Eccles Theater is a spectacle like no other--a feast for the senses with eye-popping visuals and immersive music.  It thrills with its groundbreaking application of masks and cultural puppetry techniques, along with its ravishing use of light, shadow, and color. Its drumbeat is the heartbeat of the African savannah.
