The Catastrophic Theatre presents the Houston premiere of IT IS MAGIC by Mickle Maher.

“Things are getting crazy at the local Playhouse…”

Deb and Sandy are auditioning Tim for the role of the Wolf in an adult adaptation of The Three Little Pigs, but there’s a mysterious haze in the basement of the Mortier Civic Playhouse and that, along with interruptions from the director of ‘the Scottish play’ that’s having its opening night upstairs that are making things, well, even hazier. Then the mysterious Liz shows up throwing the room into utter chaos and revealing the deep, ancient evil at the heart of the community theater audition process.

It Is Magic is the latest play by Mickle Maher, writer of such Catastrophic favorites as There Is a Happiness That Morning Is; The Hunchback Variations; and Small Ball (co-produced by former Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey). Directed by Jeff Miller and featuring an all-star cast of Catastrophic core artists: Amy Bruce, Tamarie Cooper, Dillon Dewitt, Luis Galindo, and Courtney Lomelo.

Catastrophic is proud to have been named Best Experimental Theatre in Outsmart magazine’s Gayest and Greatest Reader’s Choice Awards (2023).

IT IS MAGIC runs February 9 – March 2, 2024 at the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston (MATCH). Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at matchouston.org or by calling the MATCH box office at 713-521-4533. (Suitable for 13-year-olds and over.)
