From July 31 to August 4, The Players is where it starts! For 16 years, The Players Centre for Performing Arts has served as an incubator for fledgling and seasoned playwrights to hone their craft of fable, and this year is no different. The 16th annual New Play Festival celebrates local playwrights and their penchant for the art of storytelling. This week-long event will showcase newly written works that have not yet been produced anywhere. Five plays were chosen by a panel of judges from a bevy of submissions to compete over these five days to be fully produced in The Players backstage space next season. Each play will be presented in 'readers theatre' (rehearsed readings) format to best showcase the literature. The event is coordinated by local theatre maven Sandra Musicante and will also feature a brief talkback session led by Artistic Director Jeffery Kin after each play. This past year's winner, Connie Schindewolf's 'Mammoth Bones' will premier August 22 through 27.
A revue is a rare theatrical treat these days. In its heyday, the irresistible combination of light comedy, song and dance sketches was incredibly popular. Its golden age lasted from the early 1920s to the late 1950s and for much of that time its greatest practitioner was Noel Coward who wrote and appeared in a succession of revues on both sides of the Atlantic such as London Calling! (1923) and Sigh No More (1945).

It's the morning after New Labour's victory in 1997. Things Can Only Get Better, except for a group of pool attendants struggling to keep the gates open.
Cone Man Running Productions and Obsidian Art Space's popular 24 hour play festival, A SPONTANEOUS SMATTERING, was given a seasonal spin for last night's holiday edition. Drawing a crowd of theatre diehards, family, and friends, everyone in attendance was curious to see what these skilled and talented artists would create. Waiting for the show to begin, everyone was buzzing about the #smattering posts they had seen on Facebook, the writers' previous works, and their excitement about what they were about to witness. It doesn't hurt any that everyone was treated to a free shot as they picked up their tickets either.
To say that Houston has an exceptional theatre scene is an understatement. One of my favorite aspects is that there is always something new to see. Last night I had the pleasure of attending Scriptwriters/Houston's 23rd Annual 10X10 Showcase, a production that highlights original plays by local playwrights. Scriptwriters/Houston's annual 10X10 production, in association with Next Stage Press, features ten new plays, each lasting ten minutes in length. A welcome addition to this year's production is the inclusion of eight original monologues. This year's sampling of original works paints an intimate portrait of humanity and ultimately creates a nuanced and unforgettable evening of entertainment.
