Alley Theatre Presents Shaw’s Classic Battle Between Mother and Daughter Over Sex, Love, Money and Morality, Mrs. Warren’s Profession
Mrs. Warren’s Profession
By Bernard Shaw
Directed by Anders Cato
Shaw’s ultimate test of a mother-daughter relationship is one of his most enduring and best-loved plays. Kitty Warren has worked hard to provide the comfortable upbringing she never had for her daughter Vivie. Now that Vivie is about to embark on her own career, her mother decides that it is time for the feminist daughter to finally learn the truth about her mother’s profession. Recommended for general audiences.
Mrs. Warren’s Profession
runs January 9 through February 1, 2009 on the Hubbard Stage.

Houston Ballet presents Marie: February 26 – March 8.
A child bride. A spoiled party girl. A doting mother. A controversial queen. Marie Antoinette has long fascinated historians and artists alike.
Inspired by the story of her life, artistic director Stanton Welch will create a new full-length ballet about the French monarch whose life culminated in the violent events of the French Revolution.
Save the date for Masters of Movement: March 12 -22.
Houston Ballet is pleased to introduce three important works into its repertoire, masterful works by master choreographers. The Leaves are Fading is a lyrical study in wistful dreaminess by famed English choreographer Antony Tudor. The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude is all Forsythe, a sexy and energetic work that fully lives up to its name. Jirí Kylián’s Soldiers' Mass is a poignant commentary on the destruction and devastation of war. This is a program not to be missed.
