KING JAMES

by RAJIV JOSEPH
directed by PHILIP KERSHAW
February 23 - March 16

Sports: for some, a trivial diversion; for many others, a way to perceive and experience something greater than ourselves. Over a ten-year span, for two friends, it becomes a means to articulate everything they would otherwise be unable to express.

BETRAYAL

by HAROLD PINTER
directed by SOPHIA WATT
June 15 - July 6

The most fundamental axioms of love and friendship are open for reassessment, as we witness Emma, Jerry, and Robert navigate their own brutal and unexpected feelings about each other and themselves.

SPRING AWAKENING

book and lyrics by STEVEN SATER
music by DUNCAN SHEIK
directed by MATT HUNE
September 7 - 28

A story of adolescent anarchy, of teenagers silenced and controlled by a censoring society, and the devastating consequences of the freedom students find outside of the classroom. 'Spring Awakening,' the groundbreaking Tony Award-winning musical, will have an intimate and powerful restaging at Rec Room. The much-loved rock score will be brought to life with live musicians in Houston's smallest theater.

WINTER SOLSTICE

by ROLAND SCHIMMELPFENNIG
translated by DAVID TUSHINGHAM
directed by BRADLEY MICHALAKIS
November 23 - December 14

Christmas Eve: Bettina and her husband Albert aren’t happy. Bettina’s mother is staying for the holidays, which is awkward, not least because Bettina’s mother met a man on the train, and now she’s invited him over for dinner. 'Winter Solstice,' a razor-sharp comedy by award-winning German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, plays with liberalism's inability to immunize itself against fascism’s rhetorical power in this wildly theatrical and inventive production.
