FALL 2019 CALENDAR

LETTER FROM THE DEAN Welcome to the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts — the premier institution for research, scholarship and innovation in the arts at a major public research university. Our vision is to be the first-choice public institution for innovative education in the arts, embracing and enhancing the cultural richness and diversity of the city of Houston. We are educating our students to be resourceful, inventive and engaged creative professionals whose critical thinking and problem solving skills position them to profoundly influence their communities and their culture. Please join us this season for an event or a performance on our beautiful campus — one of Houston’s most significant arts and cultural destinations.

Twin brothers, a millionaire, his mistress, her lover, a wise woman, her romance-smitten attendant and a dancer — an eccentrically mixed group of people, all trying to find happiness. Mistaken identities and schemes abound in this charming classic comedy.

OLD BLACK AND WHITE HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood, 1954. A black and white female comedy duo run the risks of satirizing Jim Crow America with their racy, edgy and racially progressive sketch comedy show.
