SUMMARY:Magical Lying Hour's Decadent\, Sumptuous\, Triple-Stuffed 10th Anniversary Show
DESCRIPTION:Magical Lying Hour celebrates ten years of theatrical improv by stuffing as many past participants as we physically can into Coronation theater for one night of the absurdist\, committed improv you’ve come to expect.\nYou already know the basic deal: one actor\, one improviser\, the actor doesn’t deviate from their script while the improvisers builds out a new world trying to stay within the bounds of the actor’s lines.\nWe’re bringing in some out of town heavy hitters including California’s Riley Smith and Tommy Spears as well as hometown favorites Callina Anderson\, Ruth McCleskey\, and Autumn Clack in an unforgettable night that dives into three of our favorite alternate formats of Magical Lying Hour:\nMagical Montage Hour: chaos ensues in this version of our classic show that more closely resembles a standard improv set. Actors and improvisers fly in and out of scenes with the alacrity of Ghengis Khan’s hordes with the only rule being that at least one actor and at least on improviser need to be on the stage at all times.\nMagical Groundhog Hour: Magical Lying Hour contains multitudes! Whereas we get to see the many permutations scenes can take during rehearsal you\, the audience only gets to see one! Groundhog Hour shows the variability of the actors by playing the same scene three times with different sets of performers\, and you see the wild turns the same script can take.\nMagical La Ronde Hour: Our take on the classic improv form (and classic play by Arthur Schnitzler!) Five scenes from the same play with each actor becoming an improviser in the next scene but staying as the same character. See a story unfold bit by bit in this circular theatrical format.\nIt’s going to be a spectacular night not to be repeated with over 25 performers it must be our biggest show for now and for all time.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in Italy
DESCRIPTION:As far as we know\, William Shakespeare never traveled to Italy. But the culture of Italy fascinated him. The dramatic action for one-third of all his plays takes place within an Italian setting\, either ancient or contemporary.\nFrom the lovelorn and feud-vexed streets of Romeo and Juliet’s Verona and the ancient Roman forum in which Julius Caesar was assassinated\, to the frothy mix of sex\, money\, and intrigue of Shylock and Othello’s Venice\, Shakespeare’s fascination with Italy inspired his work as a playwright. His Italian settings are so crucial to his plots that the locations themselves seem to have become characters in their own right. We ourselves will take inspiration from Shakespeare’s fascination with Italy\, at that time the acknowledged cultural center of the western world. By studying his plays\, we can expand our own horizons and our own perspectives\, while learning about the context within which their action occurs. Italy beats at the heart of Shakespeare’s poetic and dramatic imagination.\nIn this course\, we will read and discuss several of these Italian plays\, watch clips from film adaptations of these plays to see modern variations on the action\, and conclude with a close reading of Shakespeare’s finest play of all\, The Tempest—which is set on an unknown island in the Mediterranean where some Machiavellian Italians from Milan and Naples are stranded along with Prospero\, who is the most accomplished of all the characters who people the world (or Globe!) created by Shakespeare’s plays.\nSchedule\nMonday\, September 23\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, September 30\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, October 7\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, October 14\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nTickets\n$125 ICCC Members | $150 General Admission\nMeet Your Instructor\nDr. Dustin Gish is a Professor of Humanities and Political Philosophy in the Honors College at the University of Houston\, where he has taught courses in political theory\, philosophy\, and literature since 2014. He received his interdisciplinary Ph.D. from the Institute of Philosophic Studies at the University of Dallas\, and his M.A. in Liberal Education from St. John’s College (SF).\nFor a decade\, Dr. Gish lived in Rome\, Italy\, and taught courses there at two American universities focused on ancient Roman civilization as well as on the art\, history\, and philosophy of the Italian Renaissance. He has published extensively on the plays of Shakespeare\, Thomas Jefferson and the American Founding\, Xenophon’s Socrates\, and the visual rhetoric of Italian civic republicanism.

SUMMARY:Toc Toc\, une comédie de Laurent Baffie présentée par Et Voilà Théâtre
DESCRIPTION:September 6-7\, 27-28\, 2024\n8:00PM\n​\n​MECA@TBH-CENTER\n​333 S. Jensen Dr.\, Houston\, TX 77003\nIn French with English surtitles.\nDuration: approximately 2h30 with intermission.\nThis play is appropriate for high school audiences and adults due to language.\nCreated at the Théâtre du Palais Royal in Paris in 2005\, the comedy TOC TOC was written by Laurent Baffie and has been seen by millions of spectators around the world.\nLaurent Baffie: “I always try to put people in situations where they would not normally meet. As a child I had an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) myself\, and at the time\, people didn’t talk about it. As I researched the subject\, I realized that it was a serious issue and that it needed to be treated with sensitivity\, without making fun of the people affected.”\n​\nIn this play\, six patients with six different obsessive-compulsive disorders meet in the waiting room of Dr Stern\, a specialist in the treatment of OCD. This internationally renowned neuro-psychiatrist only consults in France once every 2 or 3 years\, and never sees the same patient twice. But the doctor’s plane is stuck in Frankfurt. To pass the time\, Fred\, Sandie\, Blanche\, Marie\, Lili and Bob get to know each other and share their stories and their respective conditions. The final result is some real therapy\, along with a lot of bickering and humor along the way. A light\, funny play that tries to dispel all the preconceptions about OCD sufferers.​

SUMMARY:Spirits to Enforce
DESCRIPTION:The Catastrophic Theatre presents\nSPIRITS TO ENFORCE\nby Mickle Maher.\nA group of telefundraisers attempt to raise money for an upcoming production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest\, to be performed by local superhero team “The Fathom Town Enforcers.”\nThings aren’t looking good at the phone bank.

SUMMARY:By the Way\, Meet Vera Stark
DESCRIPTION:BY THE WAY\, MEET VERA STARK\nby Lynn Nottage\nGuest Director: ShaWanna Renee Rivon\nOverview: This witty comedy draws upon the screwball films of the 1930s to take a funny and irreverent look at racial stereotypes in Hollywood. This 70-year journey carries us through the life of Vera Stark\, a headstrong African-American maid and budding actress\, and her tangled relationship with her boss\, a white Hollywood star. When circumstances collide and both women land roles in the same Southern epic\, the story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy.

SUMMARY:By the Way\, Meet Vera Stark
DESCRIPTION:BY THE WAY\, MEET VERA STARK\nby Lynn Nottage\nGuest Director: ShaWanna Renee Rivon\nOverview: This witty comedy draws upon the screwball films of the 1930s to take a funny and irreverent look at racial stereotypes in Hollywood. This 70-year journey carries us through the life of Vera Stark\, a headstrong African-American maid and budding actress\, and her tangled relationship with her boss\, a white Hollywood star. When circumstances collide and both women land roles in the same Southern epic\, the story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy.

SUMMARY:Spirits to Enforce
DESCRIPTION:The Catastrophic Theatre presents\nSPIRITS TO ENFORCE\nby Mickle Maher.\nA group of telefundraisers attempt to raise money for an upcoming production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest\, to be performed by local superhero team “The Fathom Town Enforcers.”\nThings aren’t looking good at the phone bank. They haven’t raised a dime\, rehearsals are a disaster\, and they haven’t sold a single ticket. How far will they go to pull off this seemingly doomed-for-sure production? Why do they even want to?\nSpirits to Enforce creates a cacophonous symphony of language. A riotously funny\, tender tale of memory\, loss\, and finding the way back home.\nFounding Artistic Director Jason Nodler directs an ensemble cast starring Noel Bowers\, Raymond Compton\, Tamarie Cooper\, Jovan Jackson\, Bryan Kaplún\, Jenna Morris-Miller\, Karina Pal Montaño-Bowers\, Rebecca Randall\, Kyle Sturdivant\, Clarity Welch\, Abraham Zeus Zapata\, and Walt Zipprian.\nFrom Mickle Maher\, playwright of such Catastrophic favorites as It Is Magic\, There Is a Happiness That Morning Is\, The Hunchback Variations\, Song About Himself\, and the world premiere of Small Ball.
