There really is nothing like the opening of another show, especially when that show is a World Premiere production. Last night, an enthusiastic audience filed into MidTown Art Space to witness FLY IN THE WINDSHIELD, S. Denise O'Neal's first play in three years, brought to life. Several in the audience had attended the reading at Theatre Suburbia and were telling those who had not experienced her craft about how powerful and poetic S. Denise O'Neal's writing was. Needless to say the anticipation and stakes were high, and last nights audience received exactly what they wanted from the production.
Last night was the premiere of FADE TO BLACK, an innovative 10 minute play festival promoting and supporting original works created by African-American artists. This showcase is the creative brainchild of Denise O'Neal of WMGE, LLC and Leighza Walker of LeighzaLand Productions, and it is a true first for the Houston theater community. Thankfully, these extraordinary women have already placed FADE TO BLACK on next year's calendar with the intentions of creating an annual event that centers around encouraging and producing new works written by African-American playwrights.
Founded in 1993, Houston's Encore Theatre is returning to its midtown roots by opening a performance space at the corner of Main Street and Wentworth Street. It has been Encore Theatre's goal to provide quality theatre to Houstonians, especially to those who are economically disenfranchised and wish to enjoy the beauty of live theatrical performance.
