To wrap up its record-breaking season full of press favorites and Houston premieres, 4th Wall Theatre Company is delighted to share Pulitzer finalist Collected Stories by Donald Margulies. This production will feature Houstons beloved Kim Tobin-Lehl as Ruth Steiner, the exalted Greenwich Village short story writer, and joining Tobin-Lehl as Ruths protg, Lisa Morrison, is Houston native Reagan Elizabeth.I have been a fan of Collected Stories since I saw a production in college, and so I was thrilled to be asked to direct it. The writing is beautiful, the dialogue is so smart, but beyond that, I am fascinated by this relationship between the two women, said Jennifer Dean, director. The way we see the dynamics between them, and how they change over the years, makes me step back and think about my own relationships. I can't wait to dig into rehearsal with this talented cast.Collected Stories features two of Margulies most memorable characters, who move from mentor-mentee to friends to rivals tangled in a conflict of intellectual property rights. When Ruth shares the details of her youthful affair with real-life poet Delmore Schwartz, should Lisa get away with writing on the experiences to catapult her own career? The results are the crackling dialogue and sweeping themes that won Collected Stories the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best New Play and made the New York Post claim This is probably Margulies' best play to date

4th Wall Theatre Company Presents THE REALISTIC JONESES

December 03, 2019

4th Wall Theatre will present the Houston premier of Will Eno's Broadway sensation 'The Realistic Joneses.' Eno's critically acclaimed play will re-unite 4th Wall Co-Artistic Directors Kim Tobin-Lehl and Philip Lehl as Bob and Jennifer Jones. Featured in this all-start cast will be guest artist Vaishnavi Sharma as Pony Jones. Ms. Sharma is perhaps most well-known for her regular appearances on Amazon Prime's 'Mr. Robot' alongside Academy Award-winner Rami Malek. She has also been featured in New York-based BEDLAM Theatre's 'Pygmalion' and the original smash hit production of Kate Hamill's 'Sense and Sensibility.' Drake Simpson will complete this stellar cast as John Jones. Mr. Simpson was last seen in 4th Wall's award-winning productions of 'Lobby Hero' and 'True West.' Returning to 4th Wall to direct is Jennifer Dean, who previously directed a beautifully realized production of 'Collected Stories' by Donald Margulies and a brilliant staging of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' by Edward Albee. This collaboration of Houston's most highly recognized professional artists and a nationally recognized award-winning guest artist will surely make 'The Realistic Joneses' the theatrical event of the season.

May 19, 2019

It's two women playing writers - one older and one younger. An ALL ABOUT EVE tale spins out, and the show has interesting dynamics to share about artists when they become close friends.
