Jonathan Netek

Written by Tony-nominated playwright Christina Anderson and directed by Eboni Bell Darcy, this deeply moving story follows one person’s emotional journey to rediscover their roots, heal old wounds, and find their way back home.

Let’s face it—this show is a phenomenon. It’s fascinating, and whether you love it or leave it, people are going to flock to the theatre to see it—if only just to say they have. This production, specifically, was tight, so don’t miss your shot!

Strong performances in a fragile world. Written in 1944, THE GLASS MENAGERIE was Tennessee Williams’ first major success, and it mirrors his own life more than any other of his works. The play’s characters are drawn from an autobiographical place.

Things get pretty hot (in more ways than one) in this production of SEARED.

This endearing production that captures the poignant journey of two recent immigrants who meet as strangers and forge a moving friendship is all heart.

OMG, Theatre Under the Stars just got a serious Plastics-level upgrade because MEAN GIRLS is BACK in Houston!

DECEMBER: A LOVE YEARS IN THE MAKING is an original work from Texas playwright Marisela Treviño Orta, and was originally a part of the Alley All New Festival in 2023. Orta has MFAs in both Playwriting and Poetry, and the intersection of the two truly shines in this heartfelt production.

This haunting production, based on real events, captures a powerful slice of history that remains deeply relevant today.

Sister is back again at Stages Houston, instructing one last catechism class before the church Christmas party commences. Originated by Maripat Donovan, who originally played Sister, and a writing partner or two over the years, this uproarious one-woman show is now brilliantly helmed by Denise Fennell, who absolutely sparkles. So take your hands out of your pockets, answer politely and stand up when you’re being called on!

Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.
