Daily-ist Thursday: Free Play at Houston Center for Photography

Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company presents "Night of the Giant", a play by local playwright John Harvey featuring an original score by another Houstonian, Elliot Cole. Whoever wrote the plot synopsis sure knows how to pique our interest:

Evening begins to fall. Lamps are lit, a child walks outside with a saw, and two sisters in a broken-down house make a ham sandwich for their father who sits on a couch--tied and bagged. A small band of musicians chained in the dining room play waltzes, while birds at the windows watch and judge. Questions are asked. Stories told.

Mildred's Umbrella Theater is a local company dedicated to local artists. Their mission is "To deepen Houston's cultural life by creating a unique theater experience that draws from and develops the city's existing artistic talent."
