Catastrophic Theatre’s ‘Snow White’ Highlights Late Houston Writer’s Legacy

Barthelme was a Houston area short story writer, novelist, Houston Post reporter and one of the founders of the University of Houston’s creative writing program. He’s remembered for his playful, postmodernist style, which is certainly reflected in the production.
