Interview: Malinda Beckham & Curtis Barber of BUG at DIRT DOGS
by Brett Cullum - May 14, 2025

So I think, first and foremost, Bug, believe it or not, is a love story.

Which really is the beginning of the infestation.

And yet, somehow, they have cast Spencer Plachy, who is the most swoon-worthy actor Houston has, a man who has embodied Mr. Darcy for years. Also, a man sexy enough to star in the Broadway tour of THE LION KING shirtless as Scar. It’s wild to see Darcy do Dracula and do it as a feral animal to boot. See what our critic had to say.

Review: THE PILLOWMAN at DIRT DOGS THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - Mar 10, 2024

Malinda L. Beckham has always been a master of directing testosterone-fueled plays where men fight and abuse each other. She and her cast bravely take on Martin McDonagh’s script and make wise decisions. The pace is breakneck, never allowing the viewer to wallow much in the muck. She brings out the black comedy and never seems to fear that aspect.

Review: COYOTE ON A FENCE at Dirt Dogs Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Oct 31, 2022

This is a morally complex piece of theater, and luckily the cast is up to the challenge of bringing these people to life without judgment or any trace of hesitation. The language, the situations, the truths, are all difficult matters that have to be handled directly and confidently.
