A Fiery Mercutio Tops the Bill in Romeo and Juliet at Alley Theatre - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My prayers to the theater gods have been answered. After his sizzling performance in the Alley’s 2022 world premiere of Liz Duffy Adams’ Born With Teeth, Matthew Amendt has returned like a comet in the role of Mercutio in the visually striking Alley production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Incandescent, he burns up the stage, the most alive of performers. You can’t take your eyes off him, as he prowls, growls, bandies, scoffs, parries and thrusts his sexual double entendres to anyone in his
The Touring Revival of The Sound of Music Offers Stage Magic - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(to “The Sound of Music” – Apologizes to Oscar Hammerstein II) The Hobby’s alive with the Sound of Music, It’s back here in town for another tour. A cash cow for sure is the Sound of Music, There are dirndls and horrible Nazis galore who gum up the sticky romance. But one prayer is fulfilled just in time, heaven sent, no Agnes Demille ballet dance. This Broadway tour looks like every one we’ve seen since 1959 — Nuns who sing and “favorite things” amid painted pastel of Alpine. Rodgers’ music is
Becoming a Beast: Rhinoceros from Catastrophic - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kyle Sturdivant is perhaps Houston theater’s most fearless actor. His considerable ego is consumed in Eugène Ionesco’s most famous play, Rhinoceros (1959), as his character, condescending functionary Jean, transforms into a fierce ungulate, stomping the ground, sniffing his friend, frantically searching his forehead for the first hint of a horn, lowering his voice to a bass growl, and balling his fists into what look like hooves. It is a terrifying transformation, horrifying his best friend Bere
Sing Me a Hit: Cold War Choir Practice at Main Street Theater - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I like quirk in the theater. You know, something odd yet fascinating. Certainly unpredictable. A little weird and strange. But for quirk to work it’s got to be good. The 2026-2027 Houston theater season started with Garden Theatre’s gay-quirky roller-skating Xanadu, then we had Mildred’s Umbrella’s lesbian “pussy” quirkiness with Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties, and now Main Street Theater has hit the jackpot with a spectacularly entertaining Cold War Choir Practice. This is the show of sho
Who's the Mad Genius in Proof at 4th Wall Theatre? - Houston Press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Auburn’s psychological who-done-it, Proof, won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. It is craftily constructed, smart, witty, and everything those august bodies would want in a winner. It is female-centric and deconstructs time in an intelligent way as it gives off its secrets with clever plotting and sly assurance. It is very well-made. On the surface it deals with mathematical “proofs” – an audience yawner – bur wisely focuses inevitably on our heroine Cath
