The 2016 Houston Theater Awards
Herman Gambhir was stunning in The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity. Photo courtesy of Stages Repertory Theatre.
It was a terrific crop of shows and artists we had to choose from for this year’s awards. No, me and my Houston Press colleagues didn’t always agree on things, but then what fun is it discussing theater when everyone likes the same things? What we could agree on though, is how truly pleased we are with this year’s award winners and finalists. Some old faces and some new. Some large companies and some that fit into a small living room. But what all these talented artists share, is their talent and courage to put it all out there on the stage and wow us. Bravo to each and every one and thank you for all your hard work.
