I was surprised at the turn out this place has, I attended both plays within the "Quintero/Black BOx" theater, and the people that attend are from all walks of life. The actors and the setup is so great they really have talented actors from what I can tell. The 2 plays were "At Home At The Zoo" and "Buy 1 get 5 Free". The first one was more of comical drama about married life... the play itself was interesting and the audience is really attentive and respectful. The second one WAS HILARIOUS, I definitely would not mind seeing this even if it wasn't a requirement for my class. The layout and the ticket office is really professional. The plays are in a brand new building with great lighting. Had me saying "IS THIS REALLY IN UH?" then my thoughts turned to..."OHHH...THIS IS WHERE MY TUITION GOES" lol. All in All it was a great experience and the staff are very kind and helpful. And ooooh weee.... the women there for some reason are so pretty... they are everywhere! especially the Ushers... i felt like getting kicked out so one of them would come over and take me away! lol Definitely a great Date Spot... I see a lot of older couples and young couples in there.

It's a little confusing now due to construction. Soon a park area will open and there will be direct access to the front of the theater. Seating is roomy and comfortable. There really wouldn't be a bad seat in the house. The stage is recessed which gives it a different look. Definitely not the intimate feel of the Alley. There is also about 300 less seats here than at the Alley so get your tickets while they last!

For those of you not familiar with the large lexicon of Yelpisms, the acronym, FTR, stands for…read more"first to review". Yelp acknowledges FTRs on its site to encourage their review community to further expand its coverage of reviewed businesses. In the Houston area, I often get acknowledged for FTRs because I primarily review places outside the loop (OTL) which are ripe pickings compared to the over-Yelped establishments found inside the loop (ITL). When I stumble upon an ITL FTR opportunity these days, it usually represents an under-appreciated gem. This is the case here in spades. The River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (known as ROCO to its fans) was founded four years ago by its very talented Principal Oboist, Alecia Lawyer. It is long overdue to be acknowledged here with a five-star FTR. I was prompted to write this today because I was listening to Performance Today Online ( http://performancetoday.publicradio.org/?month=1&day=27&year=2009 ) and heard a lilting performance by ROCO of Bach's Concerto for Violin and Oboe. I thought, "Wow! They're being discovered around the country, but we still barely know them in our own backyard!" Hence, this review. ROCO is one of a bevy of chamber groups in the Houston area that deserve four or five star recognition. Others include Da Camera, Mercury Baroque and Ars Lyrica. As a professional singer in town, I've had the opportunity and privilege to perform with all these groups when they needed a chamber choir to round out their performing personnel. I most recently performed with ROCO last November. What impressed me most about this group in addition to their virtuosity, sensitivity and flexibility was their very innovative way of engaging their audiences and make their performances fun. Most of the ROCO musicians are quite young and they defy any of the "stuffy" or "boring" stereotypes that are hung on classical music by those who really don't know better. These musicians rock. Let me explain more. They perform works in an order that doesn't necessarily reflect what is printed in the program, they always add "surprise" works, and they allow raffle winners to sit on stage amongst the orchestra during one of the works. Their coolest innovation is their ROCOrooters program. It's a child care / music education program that runs in tandem with their concerts and allows couples with kids to have a date night while giving their kids an opportunity to learn about the music that made Western civilization great. Kudos upon kudos to ROCO for this! Their principal venue is the Church of St. John the Divine in River Oaks. Come to a concert and hear them. You'll be better for it.
