Every summer, Houstonians descend upon the lawns of the Miller Outdoor Theatre, lawn chairs in tow and age-appropriate beverages in hand, to witness the Houston Shakespeare Festival's tradition of producing two William Shakespeare plays each summer. Depending on their distance from the stage, some may hear the dialogue more clearly...
Their return serves as a testament to the festival's commitment to nurturing artistic talent. With the collaboration of UH and Miller Outdoor Theatre, the Houston Shakespeare Festival stands as a singular summer attraction for the city of Houston, rewarding its artists just as much as its audience.
Since graduating, both Thomas and Fischer have been actively engaged in the theater scene across the United States. Thomas, now based in Michigan, is both an actor and director. Fischer, now based in Georgia, is an actor, director, and fight choreographer. Despite their busy schedules, they eagerly seized the opportunity to return as directors to what Thomas emphatically describes as"the only outdoor air-conditioned Shakespeare Festival you'll ever go to.
Fischer specifically mentions how accommodating and welcoming Young and HSF have been to her as a working mother with three young children. Able to openly discuss her family situation without penalty, she was able to direct and lead in a family friendly work environment.Every year, the Houston Shakespeare Festival puts on a production as big and bombastic as the venue of the Miller Outdoor Theatre. An ensemble of actors sweat and project their voices to entertain the Houston audience.
