Some years ago before everybody had smart phones and GPS-powered live maps in their pockets, my friend Tommy* and I took a trip to Thailand and Vietnam. This was my first time exploring Asia, and despite being skeptical at first, this particular trip turned out to be unforgettable. Especially the time I got lost...

“Quack” is a relevant and thought-provoking comedy that explores the gray area between intent and impact. It’s only the second time this play has been produced, and with their production, the Alley Theatre is bringing the drama of daytime TV star Dr. Irving Baer to Houston. The plot delves into many social...
Before you embark further, please understand that an idiot with little life experience wrote this. However, this idiot has learned a few things over the years, especially when it comes to dating. Being a male, I can attest to hearing some ignorance spewed on the treatment of women. So, I have decided to make a do’s...
