University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Bayou Theater continues its eclectic spring performances with two comedies, an original drama and The Revelers, a Grammy-nominated Zydeco/swamp-pop/Cajun-dance band out of Louisiana.
“Over the last six months, we have dramatically expanded the offerings at the UHCL Bayou Theater,” said Managing Director Alex Malone, commenting on a season that included the world’s longest-running Shakespearian theater troupe and most recently, a concert that fused classical music with rhythm and blues.
“Each of these shows could bring in a completely different audience, and that is the beautiful challenge of being nestled in this wonderful community. There is not a single show that will speak to everyone, but I am hoping that by expanding the offerings in to different genres, everyone can find something on our season that excites them.”
Coming up at Bayou Theater:
“I think these offerings really are starting to speak to the diverse audience and all the different types of entertainment and cultural offerings the Bayou Theater can bring to the Houston Bay Area,” Malone said. “We are just now dipping our toe in the water of an expanded season and it is going to be incredibly exciting to watch us grow.”
The Bayou Theater is located in UH-Clear Lake’s Bayou Building, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston. For more information and to get tickets for any of the performances, visit www.uhcl.edu/culturalarts or call 281-283-2065.
