Stages Repertory Theatre: A Houston Mainstay

Houston seems to have a deep love for beer...and breweries. You can do all kinds of things with old breweries, like start a theatre company for instance.

In 1978, in the damp basement of a downtown brewery is where Stages burst onto the Houston theatre scene, daring audiences to see the newest, most audacious works written for the stage. Now entering its 32nd season and comfortably settled in the former Star Engraving building on Allen Parkway, Stages is a professional Equity theatre that produces new work, interprets established work in new ways, and nurtures talent for the performing arts field. Characterized by courage, generosity, ingenuity and intimacy, Stages remains and integral part of the Houston arts community.

In The Next RoomIn The Next Room starts on March 14 staring Sarah Ruhl and is about love, marriage and the invention that changed women's "Hysteria" issues forever!
