    In 1975, Houston was a booming, oil-rich metropolis with a growing, sophisticated populace eager for exposure to a wide variety of cultural activities. But with only one resident theater, patrons were inevitably limited in the number and range of theatrical voices they had the opportunity to hear. Furthermore, few professional opportunities existed for the city's growing community of theater actors, directors, writers and designers. Thus,...

    In 1975, Houston was a booming, oil-rich metropolis with a growing, sophisticated populace eager for exposure to a wide variety of cultural activities. But with only one resident theater, patrons were inevitably limited in the number and range of theatrical voices they had the opportunity to hear. Furthermore, few professional opportunities existed for the city's growing community of theater actors, directors, writers and designers. Thus, Main Street Theater, the first of several new theater companies established during the 1970's, was founded to meet two needs: to offer Houston theatergoers a more varied and challenging selection of plays and musicals and to provide a venue for training, employment and exposure for our city's professional theater artists.

      Marriage and all its ironic loneliness is the subject of some of the best plays in the American canon. And two of literature's most famous couples, the raging duo in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the solitary aching hearts bound for life in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, let us know that marriage can be absolute hell on earth. Both these great plays are evoked in local playwright Thomas Hagemann's Breakfast at Eight — a world premiere now running at Main Street Theater. Like his literary muses, Hagerman portrays the hellishness of marriage, but his affecting little gem also reveals some of the old institution's sweetest mercies. Collapse
