Julius Caesar
A profound work about misguided ambitions that seems torn out of today's headlines. Shakespeare's depiction of the vast gulf that lies between private life and personal ambition is at the center of this remarkable play.

August 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Cymbeline
A great fairy tale for adults where themes of jealousy, fidelity, simplicity, and sophistication are all played out with Shakespeare's customary genius. As noted director Patrick Tucker stated, "It is a play for our time."

August 2, 6, 8, 10

All performances are at 8:30 pm


Admission is free, but tickets are required for covered seating and are available at the Miller Outdoor Theatre box office between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and one hour prior to each performance.

HOUSTON, June 2, 2008 – New plays are taking center stage at the University of Houston. During the upcoming 2008-2009 season, the UH School of Theatre & Dance will present local debuts and world premieres of works by both rising playwrights and esteemed masters of the craft.

Among the highlights of the season are the world premiere of Nathaniel Freeman’s Hurricane Katrina-inspired “Bridges” (Oct. 3), the local debut of Louis Sachar’s stage adaptation of his popular children’s book “Holes” (Oct. 13) and the Houston opening of Edward Albee’s latest production “At Home at the Zoo” (Feb. 13).

“We are offering a season that is both accessible and relevant to all our subscribers and friends,” said Steven Wallace, director of the UH School of Theatre & Dance. “It’s a challenging slate full of vigor, intellect and intensity. As we train the next generation of theatre and dance artists, we are conscious of presenting a body of work that we hope will connect artists and audiences across age and ethnicity.”
