By Tarra Gaines Verified| CultureMap Houston Verified April is the perfect month to experience art all around Houston, especially outdoors. With all the festivals and free, large-scale installations opening this month, we have a herd of new art to explore. But if the days get hot, museums and galleries will also welcome Houstonians inside for some cool and colorful exhibitions. Look for exciting new shows opening in the Museum District, plus both the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and Contemporary Arts Museum Houston celebrate young local artists.
By Tarra Gaines Verified| Arts and Culture Texas Verified Everyone loves a good first, from races to teams to a step on the moon, but when it comes to theater, being the first to offer a brand new work is not without risks. World premiere productions can be especially precarious show business for regional companies in terms of financial and reputation costs. Yet, all over Texas, from the smallest theaters to city institutions, companies still offer up the occasional world premiere. So what’s the reward?
By Tarra Gaines Verified| CultureMap Houston Verified Drama, comedy and mystery bloom across stages throughout Houston, but we’ve also got a song in our heart for the many musicals and operas opening this month. Mamma Mia, is there a lot of theater this month from a new twist on our favorite detective to a world premiere, true biography of an unsung WWII hero. So as you ease on down the road to your favorite live theater venue, don’t miss these stellar shows.
