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.

TEXAS ICE 96 was exclusive to the Texas Ice facility located on Beltway 8 and South Wayside, of which has been completely destroyed by the recent Hurricane IKE. The facility has been deemed a total loss. Therefore, we the parents have decided to STEP-UP and show our daughters that there is always hope when you pray and work in numbers.
Hence, Texas Ice 96 would like to thank the management at Baseball U.S.A. for their consideration and support in extending the arrangements for our new practice facility.
No matter how good the team might be, it needs the support of the Greater Houston Business Community, so that The Texas Ice 96' Girls may achieve their goal and bring home a National Title.
As part of our fund-raising efforts, Texas Ice 96' and Score Card Sports Bar, will be holding an event better known as a "Cajun Crawfish Boil", of which 100% of ticket sales, raffle, and auction proceeds will be donated to theTexas Ice 96' Select Girls Softball Team.

Nationally renowned as an eclectic, innovative dance company with a solid foundation in classical ballet, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet has made a lasting impression with a company of 10 versatile, energetic dancers performing a sophisticated repertoire featuring some of the world’s foremost choreographers. The Company was founded in 1995 whehn Bebe Schweppe invited Joffrey Ballet dancers Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom Mossbrucker to create a new professional dance company based in Aspen. A unique hybrid was created when the company partnered with the City of Santa Fe, and the resulting company shared by two communities became known as Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. The Company will perform a sophisticated repertory featuring some of the world’s foremost choreographers. The Boston Herald predicts, “If there’s a classically trained company of the future, it’s Aspen Santa Fe Ballet.
