It\u2019s officially October (i.e., Halloween month), and yes, bits of horror (gothic) are starting to seep into our best bets. But we\u2019ve also got an imagined clash of intellect between historical figures, an evening of Elvis Presley tunes, and a screening of a classic surrealist film. Keep reading for these and more below.<\/p>\n
If you love the Halloween spirit, and spirits (i.e., alcohol), don\u2019t miss Drunk Shakespeare Society<\/a>\u2019s latest boozy take on a classic, Drunk Dracula<\/a><\/em>, at The Emerald Theatre<\/a> on Thursday, October 2, at 7:30 p.m. Joey Herrera<\/a>, who is playing the titular vampire in the adult-only show for the second time, recently told the Houston Press<\/a><\/em>, \u201cAs Dracula, drunk or not, I like to lurk around the audience. And by the end, you won\u2019t know who\u2019s bit or not bit.<\/a>\u201d Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and October 28; 7 and 9 p.m. Fridays, with an additional 5 p.m. performance on October 31; 3, 5, 7, and 9 p.m. Saturdays; and 5 and 7 p.m. Sundays through November 15. Tickets are available here<\/a> for $49 for $199, with a special \u201cRoyal Experience<\/a>\u201d also available for $500.<\/p>\n What if, on the day England declared war on Germany in 1939, psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud invited author and born-again Christian C.S. Lewis to his home for a conversation? That scenario is exactly what Mark St. Germain imagined for his 2009 play, Freud\u2019s Last Session<\/em><\/a>, which A.D. Players<\/a> will open on Friday, October 3, at 7:30 p.m. Director Christy Watkins told BroadwayWorld Houston<\/a> the play \u201cmodels a respectful dialogue between two people with opposing viewpoints, where both individuals engage honestly and openly with one another, even in the face of profound disagreement. That level of respect and mutual understanding is something I deeply admire and am excited to bring to life on stage.<\/a>\u201d Performances will continue at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays through October 19. Tickets can be purchased here<\/a> for $30 to $85.<\/p>\n
