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!...

Review: THE GLASS MENAGERIE at Alley Theatre


by Jonathan Netek - March 01, 2025

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....

Review: BLACKBIRD at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.


by Brett Cullum - February 24, 2025

This is a wonderfully produced version of an unflinching script, which may be the hardest part of BLACKBIRD. It feels so real that the fear factor of an abuser and a victim seething at each other or, worse, being tender to them feels too real sometimes....

Review: THE WANDERERS at Mildred's Umbrella


by Brett Cullum - February 14, 2025

Jennifer Decker is a pro at deconstructing relationships, and it is no surprise that she handles this material very well. Also, she has a very talented cast at her beck and call, so THE WANDERERS here in Houston works exquisitely for the most part....

Review: SEVEN ASSASSINS WALK INTO A BAR at Main Street Theater


by Brett Cullum - February 10, 2025

SEVEN ASSASSINS WALK INTO A BAR aims for the pop culture jugular and hits it quite well. Audiences are going to have a blast watching this collection of “badasses” compare notes on a misspent life. Dain Geist has an ear for dialogue and a knack for characters....

Review: THE FOREIGNER at AD Players


by Armando Urdiales - February 09, 2025
