What’s Love Bomb about anyway? Let’s say it’s about “taxi dancers.” Even if it isn’t. So, what’s a taxi dancer? Early last century, taxi dancers attended dance halls, being paid in exchange for a single dance, maybe paid again for another, maybe paid once more for…? There will be music, that’s all we’re saying. Oh, and that there’s nothing people won’t do to find love. The rest is going to have to remain a surprise and you can bet it will be.

“I’m an actress. They’ve never had one of those before. I’m a novelty…. I’ve said things I never even knew I thought. And people listened.”
Our inaugural stage production is the regional premiere of the outstanding comedy, Playhouse Creatures, about five, real-world actresses who worked in London during the Restoration, when women were first “allowed” to appear on stage. This brilliant play, written by April De Angelis (a British playwright based in the U.K.) is routinely produced across the pond (including a recent production by the New Vic Theatre), but has never been performed professionally in Texas, until now!
A laser-focused look at the opportunities and dead ends women faced in 17 th century London, with parallels and resonance for us today, in the age of Me Too and Black Lives Matter; these characters present a glittering and sometimes gut-wrenching glimpse into the lives of ambitious, passionate, striving women, navigating the highs and lows of the society and time into which they’ve been “plopped.” A work of raucous humor and unapologetic emotion that presumes no one is a villain, Playhouse Creatures invites us to widen our lens on how we view women.Read more

There were two children named Narcellus and Erstine, they lived in a Christian home with loving Christian parents that taught them about the Lord. After a date-night on Christmas day their parents were killed in a car accident and their nanny delivered the bad news. They had no other family members, so Narcellus and his sister Erstine were placed in a foster home and adopted shortly afterward.
Their home was far from a good Christian home like they were used to. Narcellus and Erstine were treated harshly. There were many troubling days living with their Stepparents. A year later Erstine got very ill and Narcellus did the only thing his parents taught them to do, PRAY. He prayed hard for his sister, and before the stroke of midnight to the New Year his sister died of a rare heart disease. Narcellus felt that God did not answer his prayers and let his sister die. Narcellus was still under strict house rules after the death of his sister, but he continued to pray over the years. He prayed that God would inflict harm to his Stepparents and he prayed that one day he could see his sister and parents again. Years passed and his prayers went unanswered. He felt God had abandoned him again, so he quit praying.
Many years passed and Narcellus has become a man, a self-made rich man who has committed many atrocities. He has changed his name to Mr. Nark, and now he has become a bitter-hearted, miserable, selfish, narcissistic, miser - Mr. Nark (In the mind of narcissists, no one else really exists except as an extension of themselves). And before the stroke of Midnight to New Year, Nark will encounter, much to his dismay, warnings. Will they make him more bitter, or better? Come and follow the hissing Mr. Nark and see what life he will choose before the stroke of midnight to the New Year.Read more
