the @HouSymphony is cancelling all concerts in March. Like Alley, tickets can be exchanged at no extra cost. https://t.co/pBMiUwJQbP

[Wei-Huan Chen @weihuanchen]

Alley box office: 713.220.5700 or [email protected] to donate, trade of refund your tix. As of now, "1984" and all other camps, programs etc. will resume in April.

[Wei-Huan Chen @weihuanchen]

The @alleytheatre is the first major theater company in Houston to cancel shows. Yes you can trade your purchased tix. Hobby, HGO, Symphony and TUTS remain open as of now... https://t.co/43HbMx5bqI

.@Carydar has some great observations on the gender disparity of the Oscar noms: "the big story is how awash in testosterone the Oscars are this year." https://t.co/2EXabBBlRO

[Wei-Huan Chen @weihuanchen]

sure #Oscars shut out the Farewell but they more than made up for it by double-nominating Asian-American actress Scarlett Johansson

[Wei-Huan Chen @weihuanchen]

Adam Driver is one of my favorite actors working right now. He's a bona fide movie star. https://t.co/gV8CyTeFvp

@baahouston We'll be publishing best of lists later in Dec so this is NOT meant to be comprehensive. Just a few that come to mind. Finally, one excellent show you can still see: @alleytheatre's one-person play Fully Committed, a humane look at labor and inequality. https://t.co/cEmZbleitQ

(end of year thread): 2019 sneakily became the best theater year in Houston since my arrival in 2016. I say sneakily because theater seasons go from fall to summer (like the NBA, or school) so it's surprisingly hard to think of shows by calendar year.

[Wei-Huan Chen @weihuanchen]

and oh man, has it almost been a month already since Dear Evan Hansen came to town? With Band's Visit and Come From Away coming in 2020, this makes 2019-20 a stellar @baahouston season https://t.co/zJ5tb8d0Zk
