A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Romulus Linney is based on the novel by Ernest J. Gaines. I remember reading the book, and I was familiar with the screen adaptation starring Don Cheadle and Mekhi Phifer, but the stage play I didn't know. So, the Encore Theatre's production, directed by Harold J. Haynes, was something I was looking forward to.

HOW I BECAME A PIRATE, a play adapted from the much-loved book by Melinda Long will have appear at Main Street Theater's Midtown location at the MATCH in February, March, and April. And BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in costume below!

It's time for some pirate fun! How I Became a Pirate, adapted from the much-loved book by Melinda Long will have performances in February, March, and April at Main Street Theater's Midtown location at the MATCH. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in costume below!

The show is genuinely moving, entertaining, and a fast-paced, all around fun time for the entire family. Don't be quick to assume you can't take your date to see SHREK just because the production is part of Main Street Theater's Theatre for Youth program. The performance is open to the public, and the narrative and jokes will have both children and adults raving.

Now in its 40th Anniversary Season, Main Street Theater provides theater experiences for all ages. For ages 3 and up, Shrek the Musical continues on Saturdays and Sundays through July 31. The company also stages RFK: A Portrait of Robert Kennedy and Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-A** Wit of Molly Ivins through August 14.

Theatre Nuvo and The T.R.U.T.H. Project Inc. have teamed up to present a thought provoking night of social justice theatre and a panel discussion. 

With 17 years on the theatre scene in Houston, there are excellent things going on at The Encore Theatre. This production of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS definitely had its hits and misses, but I look forward to seeing more theatre from this group.
