I've been writing for Houston's BroadwayWorld page for a brief 8 ½ months now, and one thing that I quickly learned and came to love about Houston is that there is always a wide selection of venues and titles to choose from. This past Saturday, I ventured from my residence in a Southeast suburb of the city to Playhouse 1960 for the very first time to see their production of I'M NOT RAPPAPORT. The aesthetically well-designed and beautiful performance space is nestled near FM 1960 and US 290, and the company provides audiences with a production of the Tony Award-winning comedy that leaves audiences with plenty to talk about it.
Playhouse 1960 Theatre will launch its 40th season with the Tony Award-winning comedy by Herb Gardner, I'm Not Rappaport, directed by Christine Weems. The production will run January 25th - February 9th, 2013. Get a first look at the show in the photos below!
