HCC Central Drama presents
West Side Story
A Concert Version
Directed by Kathleen Knight
Friday and Saturday, June 27th and 28th at 7:30

West Side Story is a tale, fueled by passion, rage and longing, set in a New York ghetto where rising tension between rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, threatens to burst into violence. When Tony and Maria, young lovers from opposite sides try to break the cycle of hatred, they unwittingly lead the gangs into open warfare. In this concert version, angry edgy music of the streets is balanced by moments of rambunctious comedy and some of the most tender and lyrical love songs in musical theater. The creative genius of three great figures of 20th century theatre: composer Leonard Bernstein, choreographer Jerome Robbins, and a young lyricist, Stephen Sondheim, gave us a groundbreaking musical that 50 years after its opening is still vital, powerful and deeply moving. To learn more about West Side story, visit the official site.

HCC Central Drama presents this concert version of West Side Story, Friday and Saturday, June 27th and 28th at 7:30, in the Heinen Theatre, 3517 Austin at Holman in Midtown. Tickets: $8.00 general admission, $5 for students and seniors. For reservations, call 713-718-6570.

HCC Central Drama Presents
The Power of Men
by Tomás Urtusástegui
Thursday through Saturday, July 17, 18, 19
and July 24, 25, and 26 at 8:00pm

A comedy in the high camp style of those popular Mexican soap operas, telenovelas, The Power of Men is a loony take on the classic battle of the sexes. In a household ruled by their conniving mother-in-law three young men do all the cooking and cleaning, and cater to their wives’ every whim. Under the code name Lysistratos, the three plot a revolution, and announce a “bedroom strike” – no sex until the women agree to share the chores.

Thursday through Saturday, July 17, 18, 19 and July 24, 25, and 26 at 8:00pm, in Central’s Theatre One, 3517 Austin at Holman in Midtown. Tickets: $8.00 general admission, $5 for students and seniors. For reservations, call 713-718-6570.
