SUMMARY:Dracula by Bram Stoker
DESCRIPTION:“As we mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the first authorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s seminal vampire novel\, we seek to peel back a century’s worth of imagery and mythology that has built up\, layer upon layer\, around this iconic character. So much of what we think of when we hear the name ‘Dracula’ comes not from Stoker’s novel but from subsequent plays\, films\, and television productions\,” says script adaptor Chris Iannacone. “Our goal is to approach this story without the baggage of those interpretations\, as if it was a newly-discovered text\, and in doing so\, bring a freshness and vibrancy to this classic tale of horror.”\nThe story follows a lawyer\, Jonathan Harker\, as he travels to the Carpathian Mountains to visit Count Dracula in his castle to help him purchase a home near London. While there\, Harker observes strange and terrible goings on in the castle. The Count then abandons his home and Harker to travel to England. Upon his arrival\, Dracula begins to stalk the land as a bloodsucking vampire\, picking off some close to Harker. Included among them is his fiancée\, Mina Murray. Jonathan Harker\, after much trial and tribulation\, returns to England\, where he and his comrades begin the hunt for the Count. Their travails take them from London back to Romania and the climactic battle in the shadow of Castle Dracula. Audiences will be on the edge of their seats for this Gothic tale.\n“We’re very excited to be working with Chris  again. He’s collaborated with us on three scripts now\, and we’ve been very pleased with the results each time. He knows how important the original text is to us and our mission\, and that’s key to the type of play we produce\,” says CTC Executive Artistic Director John Johnston. “I’m so thrilled to bring horror to the CTC stage. And such an iconic character in Count Dracula too. The traditional source material take we are going to have with him will make him feel fresh to our audiences.”\nDirected by Blake Weir\, who most recently assistant directed The School for Scandal and The War of the Worlds for Classical Theatre Company. He last appeared on the CTC stage when he portrayed Marius/Radius/Primus in R.U.R.

SUMMARY:Gangstagrass
DESCRIPTION:A true example of the belief that we are better together\, Gangstagrass combines great American traditions of bluegrass\, hip-hop\, and beyond to create a whole new musical genre that is more than the sum of its parts.\nGangstagrass is a multi-racial collective of musicians who demolish every preconception you have about country music and hip-hop music. These string pickers and MCs create a shared cultural space for dialogue and connection between folks that usually never intersect. The boundaries are gone and Gangstagrass is out there doing things nobody thought would work but when you hear it you know\, down in your soul\, that it does work. Gangstagrass is here to help us party together with an irresistible blend of America’s rural and urban music traditions.\nIntegrating banjo and fiddle with hip-hop beats and rapping may be something Gangstagrass does for the love of the music\, but it has led them to face a history of racialized genres and deeply ingrained sense of cultural incompatibility. Creating music that turns what some would consider opposite musical styles into a rollicking party that suddenly makes sense\, they found a byproduct of their disregard for traditional sense of genre was that they got people who normally would consider themselves to have nothing in common dancing to the same beat.\nForget everything you thought you knew about our cultural divisions: when Gangstagrass starts playing\, those preconceptions are relegated to the dustbin of history. Banjo and fiddle seamlessly meet verbal acrobatics from skilled MCs. High lonesome harmonies flow over block-rockin’ beats.\n“There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cash on their playlists than you think\,” says Gangstagrass Mastermind Rench\, who had previously made a name for himself as an in-demand Brooklyn country and hip-hop producer and singer/songwriter. He should know – he’s toured the country and abroad with a band of bluegrass pickers and hip-hop MCs to the delight of standing-room crowds everywhere. Initially known for the Emmy-nominated theme song to the hit FX Network show “Justified”\, the band has become a formidable force in live performance\, touring extensively in the USA\, Canada\, and Europe.\nWhen the band’s fifth studio album No Time For Enemies was released in 2020\, Americana Highways proclaimed Gangstagrass “America’s Band” because they take so much of what’s amazing about this country — the ingenuity\, creativity\, the strength and struggles of such different people to forge a path into the unknown — and distill it into a message of common ground and unity across differences. The album quickly rose to #1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart\, the first time in history that hip-hop MCs achieved that top spot.\nMore recently\, between appearances on America’s Got Talent and PBS’s The Caverns Sessions that made everyone’s highlights list\, and a glowing full-page article in the New York Times print edition headlined “This Is the Music America Needs\,” the band is geared up to get us all dancing on common ground for their national and international tours and their forthcoming full-length album release in the summer of 2024.\nAll performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!

SUMMARY:Assassins
DESCRIPTION:A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force\, Assassins combines Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation’s culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it\, embodied by America’s four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold\, original\, disturbing and alarmingly funny\, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.\nAssassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States\, in a one-act historical musical that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald\, writers\, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman\, bend the rules of time and space\, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet\, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.

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.

SUMMARY:Collaging the Feminine (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Imagine how we can allow our own femininity to show up and radically shape our modern world. For nearly a decade\, the French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle grappled with the female form in an ever-evolving series of sculptures. Exploring social constructions – and constrictions – of the female body\, these “Nana” sculptures developed from early expressions of repressed femininity into larger-than-life\, ecstatic\, and challenging representations of feminine power. Join us as we use the medium of collage to carry on the “Nana” series\, and challenge the idea that women should not take up space. Through drawing a body and expressing ideas of body image\, feminism\, and femininity through collage\, we’ll think critically about historical treatments of women\, and imagine how we can allow our own femininity to show up and radically shape our modern world.

SUMMARY:Latino cARTographies Digital Board Exhibit of Houston Artists
DESCRIPTION:We are featuring an exhibit with the University of Houston that features Latin artists through an art digital board that also features our mural. Under the leadership of Dr. Pamela Anne Quiroz\, Director of the University of Houston’s (UH) Center for Mexican American and Latino Studies (CMALS) launched the groundbreaking digital board\, Latino cARTographies: Mapping the Past\, Present\, and Future of Houston’s Latino Visual Art. The exhibit is on display from Friday\, April 26 to December 31\, 2024.\nThis portable\, bilingual\, and interactive digital board funded by the University of Houston is the result of a three-year collaboration led by Dr. Pamela Anne Quiroz\, with the curatorial leadership of former vice president of the National Mexican Museum of Art in Chicago\, Juana Guzman\, the CMALS Research Team\, and the International Gibson Group.\nTickets at the door are only $5 and include two other exhibits!\nClick HERE to read an article about the exhibit in Houston History Magazine.\nThe idea for Latino cARTographies began when Dr. Quiroz organized the city of Houston to host the country’s premier Latino art event\, Latino Art Now! Dr. Quiroz conceived the idea for the digital board and viewed it as a way to create a dynamic but permanent tribute to the Latino artists of Houston. She then persuaded the Gibson Group to collaborate with CMALS to achieve this goal. The result is a twenty-first-century mode to access the arts and experience culture – Latino cARTographies – that maps the past\, present\, and future of Houston’s Latino art. By utilizing technology that preserves\, represents\, and promotes Houston’s Latino visual arts and communities in an equitable and inclusive manner\, CMALS is transforming how we experience art in the twenty-first century.\nLatino cARTographies features our commissioned a mural to celebrate the many contributions of our city’s Mexican-American community. In the spirit of the great Mexican muralists\, this vibrant collective artwork\, Mexican-American History & Culture in 20th Century Houston\, highlights the places\, personalities\, concepts and events that shaped the Mexican-American community and laid the foundation for the multicultural city we live in today. Set in Connally Plaza against a dramatic backdrop of City Hall and the downtown skyline\, the mural is a cultural landmark in the historic heart of Houston. This mural spotlights 38 places\, personalities\, and events that played a key role in the growth of this community and provides recognition for the countless and essential contributions of Mexican Americans to the economy\, culture\, and vitality of our city in the 1900s. Mural artists Laura López Cano and Jesse Sifuentes\, along with key fundraisers and government officials celebrated the unveiling to Houstonians in September 2018 for National Hispanic Heritage Month. Since then\, we have several outdoor activities being celebrated around the mural for National Hispanic Heritage Month and host field trips telling the stories behind the mural. The vibrant mural\, located at 1100 Bagby Street\, is now complemented by the interactive\, digital board that is inside our museum gallery.\nAbout the Exhibitor: Center for Mexican American and Latino Studies\, University of Houston\nThe Center for Mexican American and Latino/a Studies (CMALS) at the University of Houston was established in 1972 as an interdisciplinary academic program encompassing the liberal arts\, education and social sciences focusing on the Mexican American and broader Latino experience in the U.S. Its mission is to advance knowledge\, promote critical thinking and foster the value of service to the community. This involves designing a broad spectrum of public and scholarly programs. Located within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences\, CMALS has evolved into an academic unit with several major components: teaching\, research and publications\, recruitment and retention\, leadership training\, academic advising and community service.\nThank you to the following:\nMarisela Martinez\, Ed.D.

SUMMARY:Facing Survival | David Kassan
DESCRIPTION:This compelling and transformative exhibition features the masterful paintings and drawings of acclaimed artist David Kassan\, capturing the poignant stories and portraits of Holocaust survivors.\n“Facing Survival” stands as a profound testament to the enduring power of art in narrating the untold stories of resilience and survival. Through the evocative paintings and sketches meticulously crafted by Kassan\, the exhibition unveils the profound journey of more than two dozen Holocaust survivors. By intertwining the visual representation of the survivors with the sketches revealing Kassan’s artistic process\, this exhibition transcends conventional forms of testimony\, forging a poignant visual language that surpasses the limitations of spoken or written word.\nPreceding the creation of each portrait\, Kassan deeply engaged with the survivors\, filming their testimonies and comprehending their intricate histories. His profound connection with his subjects enables him to capture not just their present visages\, but the essence of their harrowing pasts. The lifelike imagery pulsates with their spirit\, pain and dignity\, transforming these paintings into testaments of resilience and reflections of lives shaped by unspeakable violence.\nMoreover\, “Facing Survival” aspires to transcend the incomprehensible statistics—such as the unfathomable six million lives lost—to highlight the individuality of each survivor. It is a testament that defies generalization\, seeking to evoke a profound emotional connection\, to allow us to bear witness to the miraculous existence of each singular soul.
