TOC TOC

Houston première of Julián Quintanilla’s Spanish version of the world acclaimed comedy by French playwright Laurent Baffie

TOC TOC by Laurent Baffie and Spanish version of Julián Quintanilla is a hilarious play dealing with a serious topic in a humorous vein: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). “TOC” is the Spanish Acronym for OCD.

Six characters displaying certain signs of OCD are in the waiting-room of a renowned psychiatrist.  Because the doctor is late, however, these potential patients are about to embark on a new journey. Without either the expert or the expertise, and amid roaring bouts of laughter from the audience, they will attempt to create a therapeutic group of their own to help one another control their symptoms. The result is a play that is uproariously upbeat, yet the humor never offends.Read more

Cabaret of Shadows

Musiqa & Stages

Cabaret of Shadows

the world premiere of a new chamber opera by Laura Schwendinger, with a libretto by Ginger Strand. Directed by Ken McLaughlin

I wanted to create a new form of art, an art completely irrelevant to the usual theories…” - Loië Fuller, 1914  

Turn-of-the-century Paris was a hotbed of artistic innovation, and cabarets were the furnaces where this innovation was forged. It was here that poets, musicians, painters and bohemians of all sorts rubbed shoulders and laid the groundwork for the expressionist, abstract and modernist movements that continue to shape our culture today. And it was here that an American-born dancer, choreographer and light designer dazzled audiences, inspired artists from Toulouse-Lautrec to Yeats, and redefined modern dance, only to be largely forgotten in the decades that followed. This spring, Musiqa and Stages proudly shine an overdue spotlight on pioneering artist Loie Fuller with the world premiere of a new chamber opera by renowned composer Laura Schwendinger. Read more
