Since Beyond the Rainbow is a Co-production with the Playhouse, all seats are reserved. Therefore, we weren't able to send actual tickets out to season ticket subscribers - but it is included in the season.

Beyond the Rainbow tickets are available only at the Playhouse Box Office - NOT through Ticketmaster or the Civic Center.

"Cell Phone" was a play with a great deal of promise. A man dies in a restaurant and another diner, a woman, picks up his cell phone and starts answering his phone when it rings. An interesting concept: what would your cell phone log say about the kind of person you are? But the play turned weird and unbelievable. Some plot twists make for a good performance, but this one was a not-very-tasty pretzel. However, the "dead" man's monologue at the start of Act II was great!

Good review, Mike. It was certainly a different kind of production.

StageWest Theatre Company
A romantic comedy, reminiscent of the TV series “Northern Exposure... See More” – known for its quirky, off‐beat and original sense of humor. On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star‐filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves magically falling In and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend – almost – in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Philip Lehl Hey Ron! Crazy - we're producing Almost, Maine here in Houston in Feb!!! My wife Kim and a couple of our friends were involved in early workshops of the material back in ole NYC, and have been wanting to do it, so we decided that we should just go for it. Love that you're doing it, too! Best, Philip
