SUMMARY:Beyond Broadway Series: Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age
DESCRIPTION:In Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age\, he covers all the bases: sex\, death and bacchanalia\, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself. Songs from Cabaret authors Kander and Ebb blend with contemporary favourites and even a self-penned paean against plastic surgery. ‘I am literally the only person on American TV who has not had botox!’ he quips. He also discusses the effects of gravity\, the time the mum from the Brady Bunch punched him\, and what his dog taught him about the quality of life.

SUMMARY:Stagolee and the Funeral of a Dangerous Word
DESCRIPTION:World Premiere\nBy Thomas Meloncon\nThe play takes place in an office in a small town in East Texas where the local NAACP chapter is planning a funeral for the “N word”. At the same time\, a bigoted white man is on his way to that same office to have a frank discussion with the legendary Stagolee\, a black man known for his swagger. The two men have had a fight at their workplace\, and this “conversation” is actually a court-ordered intervention\, facilitated by a visiting Jewish psychologist. This new play examines different points of view along the racial divide and does so without judgement\, ultimately bringing its characters into a better understanding of each other.

Goode published in Acting Up and Getting Down: An Anthology of African American Playwrights of Texas\, published by University of Texas Press\, The Man Who Saved New Orleans published in Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts and Letters by John Hopkins University Press.

Mr. Meloncon is the Narrator on the recent Fade to Black “Thank You\, Ten” documentary film\, celebrating their 10 years of mentoring and producing new African American playwrights from across the U.S. He is the featured poet on several Jazz musical albums\, and his folksong\, “Ain’t Gonna Wait Too Long” can be heard in season 3 episode 6 of the TV series SNOWFALL.

SUMMARY:CLEANSED by Sarah Kane
DESCRIPTION:The Catastrophic Theatre presents the Regional Premiere of\nSarah Kane’s CLEANSED\n“LOVE ME OR KILL ME”\nIn her brief boundary breaking career\, Sarah Kane’s work prompted the term “a theatre of extremes\,” yet CLEANSED comes soaked through with hope. Explosively aching\, hauntingly poetic\, and disarmingly tender\, Kane delivers a fever-dream fable of unimaginable brutality and miraculous beauty.\nIn a former university\, society’s “undesirables” are subjected to a series of experiments designed to test the limits of love on the battlefield of the human body.\nGiven our country’s immediate threat to the bodies and lives of those of us who look\, live\, or love beyond the confines of conservative ‘norms\,’ 26 years after it was written\, CLEANSED feels nightmarishly prescient. More than a play\, in 2024’s America\, CLEANSED feels like a cause.\n“Once you have perceived that life is very cruel\, the only response is to live with as much humanity\, humor and freedom as you can.”\n– Sarah Kane\nThe regional premiere of CLEANSED is co-directed by core artist T Lavois Thiebaud and founding artistic director Jason Nodler\, reuniting the creative team behind Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis which The Houston Press called “an imaginative bulldozer of a production.”\nThe production features choreography by Adam Castan͂eda and set design by Afsaneh Aayani. James Templeton serves as sound\, special effects and video designer as well as composer. Lighting design provided by Hudson Davis\, properties design by Lauren Davis and costumes by Juan Saracay. We’re thrilled to collaborate with the sculpture group\, Moon Papas Art for set construction.\nThe cast includes Raymond Compton\, Bryan Kaplún\, Ruben Ramires Da Silva\, T Lavois Thiebaud\, Chuck Vaughn\, Clarity Welch\, Abraham Zeus Zapata and Walt Zipprian with musicians Sarah Moessner and James Templeton.\nNo one under 16 years of age admitted.

SUMMARY:Beetlejuice
DESCRIPTION:He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Austin.\nIt’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film\, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz\, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book\, an astonishing set\, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld\, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under\, to be exact)\, it’s a remarkably touching show about family\, love\, and making the most of every Day-O!\nBeetlejuice contains strong language\, mature references\, and a lot of the crazy\, inappropriate stuff you would expect from a deranged demon. Recommended for ages 13 and up.\nPresented by the Memorial Hermann Broadway at the Hobby Center
