The Electric Theatre
Only George Lee would start a new theater in a shopping mall that hardly anyone shopped at, with original plays - which few had heard of, by an author (himself) that fewer had read - and sell out night after night. Nevertheless, audiences came from all over the greater Houston area to see 'A Kringle Dingle Christmas', 'Hotel Desolado', 'For The Good of the Family', 'MudBoy and the MessKings', 'The Kid From Jupiter', 'Wolf 'n the Hood', and 'George On Stage' at his Electric Theater in Missouri City, Texas. His plays are now performed all over the world. In 2014, Lee was inducted into the Texas Playwrights Hall of Fame, a recognition of those Texans who have contributed to the development of new plays and playwrights. |
