My Fair Lady

Stoic Theatre at UST

My Fair Lady

Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner; Music by Frederick Loewe; Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Play and Gabriel Pascal's Motion Picture "PYGMALION;” Original Production Directed by Moss Hart

My Fair Lady is a beloved Lerner and Loewe musical, based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, that tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller who becomes the subject of a bet by Professor Henry Higgins. Higgins wagers he can transform her speech and manners enough to pass her off as a duchess at a high-society ball. Along the way, the witty, romantic, and often sharp exchanges between Eliza and Higgins explore themes of class, identity, and independence, all set to one of musical theatre’s most iconic scores.Read more

Endgame

The Catastrophic Theatre

Endgame

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

A Salem Witch Trial

Kevo

A Salem Witch Trial

as told by Kevo

In a hilarious yet biting reimagining of the infamous Salem Witch Trials, A Salem Witch Trial: As Told by Kevo flips history on its head with satire, suspense, and shocking revelations. A crooked Pastor and a power-hungry Governor conspire to bend Salem’s fearful townspeople to their will. Outrageous accusations spread like wildfire, neighbors betray one another, and long-hidden truths rise to the surface in ways no one expected.

What begins as a laugh-out-loud spoof quickly sharpens into a scathing social mirror—exposing how corruption thrives when fear, greed, and blind faith collide. And just when you think you know the truth, the unsettling question lingers: was there ever a real witch in Salem after all?

Blending dark comedy with historical parody, this bold one-act performance showcases the wit, edge, and fearless storytelling that define Kevo’s award-winning productions. Featuring a dynamic cast of seasoned actors from Kevo’s previous plays—What Do We Do Now?, Vincent: Homage to Van Gogh, Medusa: As Told by Kevo, Adam’s Apple, and Who Stole the Mona Lisa?—alongside fresh Houston talent, this play promises an unforgettable night of theater.

⚠️ Audience Note: Due to mature themes, profanity, religious parody, and horror elements, this show is recommended for audiences ages 10 and up. (Yes, even the youngest actor is 10!)

Step into Salem like you’ve never seen it before—part comedy, part cautionary tale, from the mind of Kevo.Read more

Beautiful Princess Disorder

By kathy Ng, Directed by Jason Nodler

WORLD PREMIERE

“Welcome to the sky. Thank you for agreeing to stay forever.”

Triangle Person is a “Human Body” with a “Triangle Head”. The "Human Body" part wears a navy blue, no-nonsense swimsuit. The "Triangle Head" part wants YOU to know that they ARE a Beautiful Princess. Would you believe that some people don't think that's true? 

Triangle Person lives in the Parking Lot of Heaven. God lives right next door. He has never come by with a casserole though. But SERIOUSLY, Triangle Person doesn’t mind AT ALL. Triangle Person already has all the BFFs they will ever, ever need. Namely, Saint Mother Teresa (you know the one) and Killer Whale Tilikum (a.k.a. Chief Cumlord of the Seaworld Conglomerate). There is lots to do in the nice cloudy sky, many lives to slice, and luckily all the time in the world. A fuzzy-edged sibling drama for the only child, directed by Jason Nodler. (World Premiere.)Read more
