Dirt Dogs Theater Co: Dinner with friends
Details
Dirt Dogs Theater Company, established in Houston in 2015, likens its approach to creating theatrical productions to that of a dirt dog: a tough, scrappy baseball player who plays hard, gets dirty, has an unrelenting work ethic, and throws their whole heart into the game.
Their first show for the 2026-2027 season is Dinner with friends by Donald Margulies.
The story (from their web site):
"Beneath the veneer of successful careers, elegant dinners, and decades-long friendships lies a more complicated truth. In Donald Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Dinner with Friends, a shocking divorce sends ripples through the lives of two couples who thought they knew one another—and themselves. What follows is a razor-sharp, darkly funny examination of love, loyalty, desire, and the stories we tell to sustain our closest relationships.
"Sophisticated, provocative, and emotionally devastating, Dinner with Friends peels back the layers of modern marriage to reveal the fragile fault lines beneath. Margulies’ incisive dialogue and unflinching honesty make this contemporary classic as relevant today as ever, challenging audiences to ask: How well do we really know the people we love?"
