Stormy - The Opera/aqueous

A Houston Fringe Festival Double Bill

This unique double bill, only showing at the Houston Fringe Festivals, features original works by award-winning writer Kay Adshead and acclaimed butoh artist Rosemary Candelario.

Water here is alternately life-giving and destructive.Read more
