Alley Theatre - The Farnsworth Invention.Houston events at Alley Theatre.

Stages Theatre - The Andrews Brothers. It's 1943 in the South Pacific, and tonight the Andrews Sisters headline the big USO show.

Houston events at Stages Theatre on Allen Parkway. Call 713-527-0123 for more info. Event ID: 6/27
Broadway in Houston - Fiddler on the Roof. Tevye, humble milkman, harried husband and devoted father to five marriageable daughters, invites us into his little village of Anatevka.

Stages Theatre - Grey Gardens. Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter "Little" Edie became East Hampton's most notorious recluses. Through a series of tabloid articles, and the documentary that soon followed, America discovered the eccentric mother and daughter living in their crumbling mansion among ruined heirlooms, mountains of garbage, and 52 cats.
