Event: Mauritius
Date: Friday, May 1 - Sunday, May 3, 2009
Time: 8:00 pm
Cost: $45 - $67
Organization: Alley Theatre
Purpose: Entertainment
Notes: Theresa Rebeck (author of The Scene and Bad Dates) returns with Mauritius, a “tightly woven and ever-surprising sinister comedy” (Playbill.com) “filled with stunning scenes of high humor and drama” (Variety). The title, Mauritius, refers to an island off the coast of Africa from which a now highly collectible stamp, described as "the crown jewel of philately," was issued in the age of Victoria. Like the Maltese Falcon, the Mauritius stamp is the fraught object of desire for an assortment of shady characters with different and mysterious backgrounds and motives, who move through the twists of the plot's crosses and double-crosses. Recommended for mature audiences.

Event: Houston Ballet presents Of an Era at Brown Theater at Wortham Theater Center Houston
Date: Saturday, May 30, 2009 - Saturday, June 6, 2009
Time: Varies
Cost: $45 - $67
Organization: Houston Ballet
Purpose: Entertainment
Notes: Three talented choreographers. Three exquisite works. Three cheers to neoclassical ballet. Christoper Wheeldon's Carousel is pure romance, a whirling tribute to the Richard Rodgers iconic musical. Spanish choreographer Nacho Durato's first work, Jardí Tancat, is still considered one of his finest. Set to Catalonian folksongs, it is the poignant story of people who work the barren land. Concluding the program is Stanton Welch's Nosotros, a brilliant display of talent in a magical, star lit setting.
Attire: As you are.
Location: Brown Theater, Wortham Theater Center at 501 Texas Avenue, Houston, Texas 77002
