The Little Prince

PERFORMED BY MAIN STREET THEATER EDUCATION STUDENTS; By Rick Cummins and John Scoullar from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Little Prince tells the story of the tired and discouraged Aviator whose sputtering plane strands him in the Sahara Desert and a mysterious, regal “little man” who appears. During their two weeks together in the desert, the Little Prince tells the Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy. From each he gains a unique insight which he shares with the Aviator: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly….What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Read more

Tamarie's TEXAS Toast!

The Catastrophic Theatre

Tamarie's TEXAS Toast!

World Premiere, written by Tamarie Cooper & Patrick Reynolds

Tamarie and her merry band of musical maniacs are taking on the great state of Texas. 27 installments of all-new, full-scale original Tamarie Cooper musicals and there’s never been one about Texas? What? We’ve been saving it for you.

Expect huge dance numbers, massive songs, and gigantic belly laughs. Why? Because everything’s bigger in Texas, you tourist. This scorched, humid, political hornet's nest is ripe for spoofing from the collective minds of Cooper and Patrick Reynolds. Bank on douchey Austin tech bros, horny toads, the Alamo, sticker burrs, the TEA, and a certain governor, bless his heart. Plus, all the actual wonders that Texas has to offer: Tex-Mex, big hair, What-a-Burger, and the best city in the Lone Star State, H-Town, Baby! 

Tamarie's Texas Toast is both a toast and a roast of all things Texas. As always, Tamarie will be joined by a live band and a cast of Houston's funniest performers, bringing you an entirely original and completely irreverent musical bonanza. All from the bottom of Tamarie's Texas-sized heart. Read more
