WORLD PREMIERE

“TAMALALIA FOREVER!”

As every good Houstonian knows, Tamarie Cooper creates another in a series of wholly original, full-scale musicals every summer—a Houston institution with a cult following—featuring wildly irreverent scripts, riotously funny songs, wackadoodle dances, spectacular sets, large casts of quadruple-threat performers, a small but mighty band, and of course Houston’s own Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, and Bugs Bunny rolled into one, the undefeated champion of ass-clownery, Tamarie Cooper, co-star Kyle Sturdivant forever at her side, chewing up all her expensive scenery.Read more

There is, perhaps, no piece of theatre that better reflects the present moment than The Designated Mourner, a fiercely political, deeply personal play concerning class, identity, culture, and enemies. This will be Catastrophic’s third production of Shawn’s masterwork, a late addition to our season as was our second in January 2017. The times called for it then, they cry for it now.

Through a series of monologues and short scenes, three characters walk us through a labyrinthine tale spanning the years before, during, and after a populist uprising in an unnamed country, now teetering on the edge of authoritarianism, whose government has targeted the cultural intelligentsia for imprisonment and execution. As the story unwinds, it plumbs the depths of love, contempt, privilege, enemies, beauty, envy, “the self,” and what, if anything, we are willing to sacrifice for the things we believe.Read more

WORLD PREMIERE

“What about all the in-betweens?” 

Rock-and-roll was invented by corporations to sell cars and sex to teenagers. Indie rock was invented by teenagers who weren’t into cars or sex. Pop music is a CIA plot, like MK Ultra or Abstract Expressionism. Gender is a pyramid scheme; religion is a performance. Texas is both a gender and a religion. 

How about you? What’s your whole deal? You sure about that? 

A punk elitist attempts to sell his band on a rock opera he wrote about meeting his favorite pop star. But first he has to explain why he has a favorite pop star, why it’s Katy Perry, why he wrote a rock opera about it, and how it all ties into his new look, most succinctly described as “she.” Directed by Tamarie Cooper. (World premiere.)Read more

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? Read more

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

Houston Design Collaborative is pleased to host a book signing and lecture by Megan Kimble, author of City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America’s Highways. “With propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting, City Limits exposes the enormous social and environmental costs wrought by our allegiance to a life of increasing speed and dispersion, and brings to light the people who are fighting for a more sustainable, more connected future.”Read more
