CTC’s 13^th season heralded our triumphant return to live performances since the pandemic, with 2 twentieth century productions: the 1920 play that coined the term “robot,” R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), and a theatrical staging of H.G.Wells’s groundbreaking radio broadcast, War of the Worlds.

CTC was forced to cut short this 12^th season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, despite this hurdle, the company was able to produce award-winning productions of Aristophanes’ Greek comedy, Lysistrata, and Henrik Ibsen’s rarely produced Peer Gynt.

CTC’s 11^th season consisted of the company’s second production of the great Sherlock Holmes in The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and adapted by Timothy N. Evers, as well as the local premier of Thomas Heywood’s The Fair Maid of the West.

CTC’s 10^th Anniversary Season was a politically charged one with productions of George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Henrik Ibsen’s drama An Enemy of the People, and the Russian farce The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol.

In our 2016-2017 season, CTC was honored to receive the American Theatre Wing’s prestigious National Theatre Company Grant Award while bringing to the stage Chekhov’s The Bear & The Proposal, August Strindberg’s The Ghost Sonata, and the local premiere of Beaumarchais’ The Barber of Seville.

Our productions in our eighth season saw us return to Henrik Ibsen with A Doll’s House, and the Greeks with The Birds. Plus, we were thrilled to offer Shakespeare’s Henry V on the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.

In our first season at our home in Chelsea Market CTC produced our brand new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic A Christmas Carol. This was followed up with a Houston premiere of The Speckled Band: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle himself, and lastly we produced the Houston premiere of Anton Chekhov’s dark comedy The Cherry Orchard.

In a season of English masterpieces, CTC offered Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a Houston premiere of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, and Oscar Wilde’s eternal The Importance of Being Earnest.

CTC kicked off our fifth season by rounding out the great early modern dramatists by presenting August Strindberg’s Miss Julie. This was followed by a Houston professional premiere of Alfred Jarry’s absurdist play Ubu Roi, and lastly a re-envisioning of our inaugural production of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.

CTC presented three productions in our fourth season including a return to French farce with Marivaux’s The Triumph of Love, a foray into one of the fathers of modern drama: Anton Chekhov with his play Uncle Vanya, and William Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest.

In our 2010-2011 season, we presented our take on Ibsen, Shaw and Shakespeare and a Reading Series that included Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens and The Doctor of Love by Moliere.
