The Umbilical Brothers: The Distraction

“Wildly funny, wildly creative…silly behavior of the highest calibre” The New York Times

The Umbilical Brothers are an international comedy phenomenon.

Their Nickelodeon series “The Upside Down Show”, as well as Disney’s “The Book of Once Upon A Time,"  “The Sideshow” and “Maisy” delivered them a fanbase of both fanatical toddlers and late-night, Taki-eating couch potatoes.

Named as two of Entertainment Weekly’s “100 Most Creative People In Entertainment," they have appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, after James Brown at Woodstock ’99, and before the Queen.
They’ve performed in 40 countries. From Hawaii to Tokyo, New York to Moscow, audiences have laughed like idiots at their acclaimed performances that use a fast-paced mix of movement, vocal sound effects and verbal interplay to cleverly twist theatrical rules and everyday situations into comedy triumph.

Babette's Feast

Filled with warmth, humor, and lavish grace, Babette's Feast invites audiences to discover how a single act of hospitality can awaken hope, heal old divisions, and remind us that life's greatest gifts are often the ones we least expect. Reserve your seat at the table--you won't want to miss this feast!Read more

Cleopatra

Kevo Arts

Cleopatra

Her story, her myth, her influence. Written and Directed by Kevo.

A beautifully written story, with a surprising ending. Everyone in the world should know this story, as it is a testament to the wisdom, grace, and wit that women must endure on their journey navigating the pressures placed on them.

From Kevo: "I wrote this after researching the most powerful women in history, and I have to tell this story. Cleopatra has a connection to Modern times that is often ignored." 

The play challenges who controls legacy and reminds us that history is in our hands. Cleopatra confronts the myth of power, and like my other works, Cleopatra is not a biography - it's an artistic expression of history. 

This event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

Ignite-Her: Words. Wrath. War.

Ignite-Her: Words. Wrath. War. is not a performance.

It is a warning shot. A war cry. A throat raw from generations of swallowed screams finally choosing volume.

Conceived by creative publisher and nationally ranked poet EbonyRose, founder of Ignited Ink 717, this stage becomes sacred ground for the FEMMEnomenal poets of Ignite-Her—EbonyRose, Renee Blackwell, Skyy Danielle, and Tequila Smith—who do not arrive to entertain… they arrive to erupt.Read more

Dinner with Friends

Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.

Dinner with Friends

Written by Donald Margulies, Directed by Curtis Barber

The end of a marriage is never just between two people.

Beneath the veneer of successful careers, elegant dinners, and decades-long friendships lies a more complicated truth. In Donald Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Dinner with Friends, a shocking divorce sends ripples through the lives of two couples who thought they knew one another—and themselves. What follows is a razor-sharp, darkly funny examination of love, loyalty, desire, and the stories we tell to sustain our closest relationships.

Sophisticated, provocative, and emotionally devastating, Dinner with Friends peels back the layers of modern marriage to reveal the fragile fault lines beneath. Margulies’ incisive dialogue and unflinching honesty make this contemporary classic as relevant today as ever, challenging audiences to ask: How well do we really know the people we love?Read more
