The Landing Theatre Company
presents the Regional Premiere of
In Darfur by Winter Miller. Directed by Troy Scheid.
April 23 - May 13, 2017

Presented by The Landing Theatre Company (LTC) at The Landing Theatre @ the Docks

Without Winter Miller, you might not know about the genocide that is occurring in Darfur.

Commissioned by the Guthrie Theater and the Playwrights Center in Minneapolis, and presented at The Public Theater in NY, IN DARFUR is the provocative account of three intertwined lives at a camp for internally displaced persons in Darfur.

The story follows an aid worker’s mission to save and protect lives, a journalist’s pursuit to deliver a “Page One” story and a Darfuri woman’s quest for safety. It is a searing story of urgency and international significance and how one voice can bring awareness to the entire world in the pursuit of change and peace.

Classical Theatre Company presents
The Barber of Seville
by Pierre Beaumarchais
April 5 through April 23, 2017

Most everyone is familiar with the opera The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, but few know that the opera is based on the 1775 play by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais.

In fact, the play has never before been professionally produced in Houston’s long history.

Beaumarchais’ play is the origin for such iconic characters as Count Almaviva, Bartholo, Rosine, and of course, Figaro.

The Catastrophic Theatre presents
Snow White.
by Donald Barthelme
April 7 through May 6 at MATCH Houston.

Snow White is tired of being “just a horsewife” to Bill, Dan, Edward, Hubert, Henry, Clem and Kevin, who, in her estimation, “only add up to the equivalent of about two real men.”

While the seven men toil in commercial real estate and manufacture exotic high-end baby foods, she whiles away her days reading Mao Tse-tung, drinking vodka with orange juice, and impatiently waiting for the prince promised to her by history.

This world premiere production of Snow White is a theatrical adaptation of the groundbreaking, experimental novel by the iconic, postmodern novelist, poet, and early faculty member of the University of Houston Creative Writing Program, the late Donald Barthelme.

Next to Normal,
with music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey
at Island ETC (East-End Theatre Company)

This ‘feel everything’ rock musical has earned accolades around the world for it tender, insightful, and funny portrayal of a family trying bravely to come to terms with life, love, and loss.

NEXT TO NORMAL is about the seemingly perfect Goodman family. Their only problem is that sometimes mother Diana seems just a little too happy. Her husband Dan worries all the time. Their daughter Natalie is intent on getting a scholarship to Yale and leaving home.

And their son Gabe, well…that’s another story entirely.
