As dusk settled over a secluded Florida estate on June 14, 2027, Donald Trump marked his eighty-first birthday not with fanfare, but with strategy.

Airline Highway

Written by Lisa D'Amour, Directed by Malinda L. Beckham & Curtis Barber, Regional Premiere

A group of people living on the fringes of society face their personal struggles and chase elusive dreams in Lisa D’Amour’s vibrant, poignant, and darkly comedic dive into the gritty underbelly and vibrancy of New Orleans.

El corazón del incauto

Teatro Loft

El corazón del incauto

Dramaturgas: Sandra Franzen & Patricia Suárez; Directora: Georgina Palencia

"El corazón del incauto" es un drama poético y punzante que se sumerge en lo más profundo del deseo, la identidad y el sacrificio. En un rincón rural de la Argentina de los años '20, una pareja campesina teje sueños de familia y redención, mientras la verdad se abre paso como una herida imposible de suturar. Lo que comienza como un anhelo de amor y pertenencia se transforma en una danza entre la ternura y la traición, donde cada puntada en un vestido revela los hilos ocultos de lo prohibido. Una historia conmovedora que late con el pulso de quienes se atreven a amar más allá de las normas.

"The Heart of the Gullible" is a poetic and piercing drama that plunges into the depths of desire, identity, and sacrifice. Set in rural Argentina in the 1920s, a farming couple weaves dreams of family and redemption, while truth emerges like a wound too deep to mend. What begins as a yearning for love and belonging transforms into a dance between tenderness and betrayal, where each stitch in a dress unveils forbidden threads. A moving tale that beats with the pulse of those brave enough to love beyond the rules.

Does It Make A Sound?

Does It Make A Sound? is a new full-length historical drama by Houston playwright and theatre educator Velvia Keithley. Set in Texas and Boston in 1895, the play follows Ophelia Freeman, a brilliant young Black woman pursuing a medical education in a world determined to silence her voice, and Katherine MacNeil, her white half-sister whose privilege cannot protect her from insecurity, expectation, and the limitations placed upon women of the era. As the sisters struggle toward the same impossible dream, they are forced to confront questions of race, morality, family loyalty, and who history chooses to remember.

Inspired by the lives of early Black physicians and women in medicine, Does It Make A Sound? explores generational healing, hidden truths, and the cost of survival in post-Reconstruction America.

This special staged reading is presented as part of the play’s continued development ahead of a planned full production in Houston in 2027. The evening is designed to introduce the work to members of the theatre community, potential producers, donors, sponsors, and supporters interested in helping bring this new Houston work to the stage.Read more
