Story by Beau York

Forget everything you know about traditional theater. Here, you're not just watching a story; you're a part of it.

Midnight High: A Night at the Oxhead tells a story about the intersection of power and desire for belonging through a western and science-fiction lens. As an immersive show, you will have full agency to explore the set. Every ticket is a premium ticket; every experience is a premium experience, and no two patrons will experience it in the same way.

As you wander through the meticulously crafted Saloon, you'll meet otherworldly characters, each with their own secrets and desires. Engage with them, and you might just uncover the mysteries that bind this town together.

Your journey will be a walking one, so we recommend you wear comfortable shoes as you explore the Saloon. While you're here, you can also enjoy complimentary drinks provided by our sponsors, Milam & Greene Whiskey and St. Arnold Brewing Company (21+).

Midnight High is not just a play; it’s a living world. And we welcome you to join us for A Night at the Oxhead .Read more

by Samuel Beckett; directed by Jason Nodler

The earth is barren. The sea stands still. There is less and less of anything here. In the shelter, blind despot Hamm (who can’t stand up) lords over his weary attendant Clov (who can’t sit down), each dependent on the other. Hamm’s legless parents Nagg and Nell slowly expire in adjacent trash bins, confined there by their son. Day after punishing day, Hamm steers Clov through a series of senseless, circular routines in impotent defiance of a predetermined outcome. With each reminder of the death that awaits him outside, Clov inches nearer to the exit.

Nobody does tragicomedy like Samuel Beckett. A central line from the play, “Nothing is funnier than unhappiness,” practically defines the genre. Director Jason Nodler and Greg Dean (Hamm) revisit their roles from Catastrophic’s 1995 and 2012 productions. Luis Galindo (Clov), Jeff Miller (Nagg), and Julia Oppenheim (Nell) round out the cast.

“ Catastrophic Theatre’s stark, unflinching production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame demonstrates exactly why this company and its artistic director Jason Nodler are so important to the city’s cultural life .” – Houston ChronicleRead more
