“I’m an actress. They’ve never had one of those before. I’m a novelty…. I’ve said things I never even knew I thought. And people listened.”
Our inaugural stage production is the regional premiere of the outstanding comedy, Playhouse Creatures, about five, real-world actresses who worked in London during the Restoration, when women were first “allowed” to appear on stage. This brilliant play, written by April De Angelis (a British playwright based in the U.K.) is routinely produced across the pond (including a recent production by the New Vic Theatre), but has never been performed professionally in Texas, until now!
A laser-focused look at the opportunities and dead ends women faced in 17 th century London, with parallels and resonance for us today, in the age of Me Too and Black Lives Matter; these characters present a glittering and sometimes gut-wrenching glimpse into the lives of ambitious, passionate, striving women, navigating the highs and lows of the society and time into which they’ve been “plopped.” A work of raucous humor and unapologetic emotion that presumes no one is a villain, Playhouse Creatures invites us to widen our lens on how we view women.Read more
In 1897 New York City, Lucy and Louise Bullard are trying their best to live a quiet life, untouched by the legacy of their father Adam Worth, an internationally infamous conman and art thief whose exploits inspired the character of Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, upon discovering that their father has a third daughter, kept in the care of their aunt, and that the aunt in question has just been falsely accused of an elaborate crime, the girls cannot help but be drawn into the mystery. Add in their nosy landlady, her snarky, sneaky daughter, and the local chapter of the Sherlock Holmes Appreciation Society, and it’s a recipe for problems, plots, and escapades more convoluted than anything Arthur Conan Doyle…or Adam Worth himself…could conjure!Read more
