Catastrophic’s ENDGAME is Ingenious Masterwork

No one in Houston creates this multilayered, nonlinear type of theatre better than The Catastrophic Theatre.

I think it helps that Catastrophic’s Artistic Director Jason Nodler, who directs here, is a goddamn genius by every definition of the word.Only a genius can take the complexly simple Endgame and make it sing, dance, and soar to new heights, exploding into so many pieces simultaneously, satisfactorily, and splendidly that we marvel at its many magnificent manifestations.

Catastrophic Theatre’s stark, unflinching production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame demonstrates exactly why this company and its artistic director Jason Nodler are so important to the city’s cultural life.

World Premiere of BLUEFINGER at Catastrophic Theatre is Ingeniously Conceived Masterpiece

Original Article

Sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll Dutch-style pretty much sums up the monumentally epic life and times of Herman Brood and Bluefinger, boldly and masterfully brought to the stage by visionary Jason Nodler, artistic director of The Catastrophic Theatre.

Bluefinger is so good that it could and should run for years, whether here or Off-Broadway or both.  It is better than American Idiot, which I reviewed on opening night, and could make a huge splash in a smaller New York venue.
