Company OnStage: Sound of Murder
Callie and I caught the opening of The Sound of Murder over at Company OnStage in Meyerland last night.
We had a good time. As community theater goes, Company OnStage tends to put on pretty solid stuff, although they certainly don't take many chances in terms of play selection or interpretation. That's just fine by me. I've always liked their intimate theater, although it's been several years since I had been over there.
We don't make nearly enough use of the city's fine community theaters (non-Alley stuff -- I really prefer the intimacy of smaller theaters). I need to make a concerted effort to get out and see more live performances.
UPDATE (03-12-2006): We blew off No Justice at a smoky bar last night, and instead caught the "preview" Ouroboros at Main Street Theater last night. That was a really interesting, well-acted performance. We'll probably see the "other" version of the play at some point (there's an interesting chronological twist involved).

Heyyyy! Check out that link. That guy looks like Berkman.
We've seen a few productions there as well and have enjoyed them.

I'm not really a theater goer, but I'm going to see a friend who has a part in the Pasadena Litlle Theater's production of Lost In Yonkers. I have to admire folks who love doing that enough to take the time for rehearsals and set-building while keeping their day job.

Actually, I thought he looked like Laurence Simon. : )

If I may, Kevin - would like to suggest coming to see Fort Bend Theatre's production of "Bus Stop" starting in April. FBT is in Stafford. I was kind of shocked when I read the script for this play - William Inge is a bit beyond the safe boders that FBT has been playing in.

I've never been down there. I just signed up on their email list so I don't forget about it.
Theater Southwest just did that play (I didn't make it to it). The surge in interest locally is interesting. I wonder what explains it?
