Written by Richard Levinson and William Link, the creators of Columbo and Murder, She Wrote, Rehearsal for Murder takes place in an empty theater as playwright Alex Dennison stages an elaborate plan to reveal the truth behind his movie star fiancée's supposed suicide. Cast and crew from her first, and only stage play performance are gathered together a year after her death under the pretext of a reading of his new play. "Unusual form, a mystery," Alex notes, "You take the audience by the hand, and you lead them in the wrong direction. They trust you, and you betray them! All in the name of surprise."

Auditions for 13 the Musical at Playhouse 1960, Dec. 12-13
Press summary, from its Broadway premiere:
Evan Goldman has it all — he’s popular, has the perfect family and lives in the greatest city in the world — New York. That is until his parents get divorced and he’s forced to move with his Mom… to Indiana. Uprooted from his old life, he has to make new friends and somehow maneuver his way through the minefield of High School to become part of the ‘in-crowd.’ A grown-up story about growing up, featuring the only all-teenage cast ever to hit Broadway!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...in Houston!
And I'm not just talking about the snow we had last week -- wasn't that awesome?
No, I'm talking about the many opportunities to see Christmas and holiday programs at our vast array of Houston theatres. You may discover a theatre that you didn't know existed!
Check this out -- there's a lot going on this season! (Did we miss something? Contact us!)

About
About Houston Theatre Blog
After having written about national and international theatre for the past seven years (in various capacities, as a music journalist), I delved into writing about local theatre for another site not too long ago. In that short time I discovered so many smaller theatres in the Houston area, more than I expected, really. I realize that Houston has so much to offer, outside of the touring Broadway productions. We've got a lot of local talent, too! After growing disillusioned with the writing outlet, I decided to create a new blog where I could share all the great musical theatre opportunities I find.
I'll be covering both the larger theatres, such as TUTS and The Hobby Center, as well as smaller, local theatres and troupes. You'll be amazed at the talent that's out there!
I'm also the editor of Musical Reviewer, which I'd like to think of as a "sister" site, which deals with national and international news in musical theatre.
