I talked to Bayou City Theatrics' Luke Hamilton, Jane Volke, and Colton Berry about the BctEDU program and the company's foray into the tiny town of FOOTLOOSE.
It's a Halloween show that you take your friends to, get tipsy, then curse and throw things at the people on the stage. On the other hand, I don't drink, I go to bed at 9 pm, and I still had a good time.
Returning to Houston to reprise the iconic leading role, Tye Blue, straps on his spiked
heels once more as Dr. Frank'N'Furter. The wildly talented cast includes Houston actors Christian Quiroga and Derrien Kellum as Brad and Janet, Hannah Miller and Colton Berry as Riff Raff and Magenta, BCT newcomer R. "Chibbi" Orduña as Columbia, Heather Hall as Eddie/Dr. Scott and Luke Hamilton as Rocky.
In part three of the Bayou City Theatrics series, I talk to actress and frequent company member, Miatta Lebille. Currently, she is in BCT's production of TRIASSIC PARQ where she appears as T-Rex 2, the unfortunate soul whose penis-sprouting ways wreak havoc on her community.
In the second installment of the series, I continue my conversation with Artistic Director Colton Berry. This interview is a deep cut in the metaphorical album of this series. Berry provides me with more insight into BCT's artistic goals in this discussion about the theatre's currently running production TRIASSIC PARQ. I also ask Berry the tough questions. Just what is his favorite color and flavor of Skittle? To find out, read below.
I start off simple in part one of this series. I talk to Colton Berry, Artistic Director of Bayou City Theatrics, about his role as costume and set designer in, what I found to be, an incredibly effective and successful production of TARZAN.
TRIASSIC PARQ THE MUSICAL, winner of the 2010 New York Fringe Festival, is a raunchy ride through the Triassic period! Utilizing the basic plot of iconic dinosaur film, Jurassic Park, TRIASSIC PARQ reveals 'the true story,' from the perspective of the dinosaurs. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Overwhelmingly, TARZAN is an amazing production. Everyone involved is to be commended for cooking up the rarest of children's theatre confections. A production dense enough for the sophisticated tastes of the most discerning adults and children in the audience and sugary enough for those still in the early stages of cognitive development - me and all the three-year-olds.
