For the performing arts lover, one of the annual small joys in life can come from a favorite dance, theater or music organization revealing their next season.
In 2013 with James Turrell: The Light Inside, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston began a unique summer precedent, presenting an immersive contemporary art exhibition and inviting the public to beat the heat, not merely to view but to journey inside the art.
For the last Hobby Center production of its 50th anniversary season Theatre Under The Stars threw a hell of a centennial birthday party for Broadway icon, choreographer and director Jerome Robbins with their revival of Jerome Robbins’ Broadway.
The project could hardly have a catchier title: 20x2020. But the Apollo Chamber Players faced the challenge of bringing it off. With only six years to go, could the group choose and commission 20 composers to create works it could premiere by 2020?
Houston gets a welcome blast of Robbins’ legendary work when Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) presents Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, a sweeping anthology of the American choreographer’s work all on one night.
