by Brett Cullum - Feb 8, 2025

Playwright, director, and actress Candice D’Meza swings for the fences up in the sky with MISS LARAJ’S HOUSE OF DYSTOPIAN FUTURES, but this is hardly a surprise to anyone who has been following her work here in Houston.

In this post-apocalyptic riff on 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' Fred's long since gone and Nature itself is now the main character. Enter Miss LaRaj-our wise and wisecracking MUTHA of the New World Order.

Review: TAMARIE'S TEXAS TOAST is Delicious at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Jun 30, 2024

This company is just really strong at putting on funny-as-hell musical sketch comedies. It’s as if SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE were written by Kander and Ebb.

Review: IT IS MAGIC at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Feb 16, 2024

IT IS MAGIC is far from false advertising because this play, this cast, and this team make some pretty strong magic from Mickle Maher’s latest play. Just sit back, relax, and let it all wash over you is my advice. It’s funny, it’s quirky, and it is unlike anything else you are likely to see anytime soon. CATASTROPHIC THEATRE has always promised to destroy us, and they seem to be inching closer and closer… and closer. This is the next step in their nefarious plan.

by Miranda Keating - May 30, 2023

On May 10th, I had the joy of seeing Mildred's Umbrella's latest production, Elizabeth A.M. Keel's TOOTH AND TAIL.

by Miranda Keating - Nov 23, 2022

The Catastrophic Theatre is now presenting the world premiere of THEY DO NOT MOVE by Brian Jucha with the Catastrophic ensemble. There is joy to be found in this show because it brings its audience in, has them constantly take stock of new situations, causes them to reflect on the state of the world today, and strikes to inspire positive change.

BWW Review: THE HUNCHBACK OF SEVILLE colonizes the Alley at Mildred's Umbrella
by Brett Cullum - Apr 1, 2019

The script spins out a fast funny farce that reminds me of a politically informed Monty Python skit. Even though the premise sounds like a stuffy costume drama, this is more SOUTH PARK meets 1500s Spain.
