| The Architecture Center Houston Announces the exhibition |
| Opening Reception July 22, 2010 5:30 - 8:00pm Since the earliest days, Houstonians have always been ready to see a show. In the beginning there were tent shows, followed by “opera houses”, usually over commercial establishments on the ground floor. By the early twentieth century world-renowned touring artists were playing such venues as the City Auditorium and the Majestic Theater. Most local productions remained strictly amateur. By mid-nineteenth century Houston boasted several producing theaters that employed their own crews that could design and build sets, create props and organize impressive lighting effects. Some of these houses developed into major arts organizations, like the Alley Theatre; most however disappeared, leaving behind only warm memories and faded programs. Today this city is enriched by the talents of many professionally trained set designers – some working full-time, some part-time. Some work for professional theaters, some for small non-profits, some for educational institutions, and some work free-lance. All these creative people have one thing in common: they are the ones that make theater architecture come alive – by the hard work of interpreting the intent of the playwright and director, by furnishing the stage with a dramatic environment, and by painting the actors with light. This exhibit showcases the work of some of our most talented and promising stage designers and their principal stages, including Tom Guthrie (UH Moores Opera program), Jodi Bobrovsky and Kevin Holden (Stages Repertory Theater), Kevin Rigdon (UH Theater program and Alley Theatre), and James Thomas (Ensemble Theatre) – through their models and production photographs. |

After a careful restoration, the house is now a City of Houston Protected Landmark. It is also a Texas Recorded Historic Landmark and on the National Register. Now a noted interior architect and expert on modern historic preservation, Ben will be available from 1:30 to 4:00 PM for guidance on restoration and preservation of modern structures. houstonmod.org. |
