Ted Swindley Theatre Workshop in association with Dirt Dogs UNLEASHED presents the world premiere of The Book of Mary (It Costs a Lot to Be Real), written by and starring Houston’s own Mary Hooper and directed by Ted Swindley, founder of Houston’s Stages theatre and author of the popular musical, Always…Patsy Cline.
It’s a raucous ride: from her Beaumont beginnings as a shy child of deaf parents and her timely escape to the “gayborhood” of Montrose in the '70s and '80s, to her adventures onstage in Houston’s way off Broadway theatre scene. Both funny and poignant, The Book of Mary is a love letter to the diva in us all.
