A comedy about modern conspiracy theory culture.  Alex is the content creator and host of a successful self-produced podcast, and she is currently adjusting from being a poor nobody to being someone with a little bit of money, celebrity, and influence. Despite her growing success, ratings are still precarious. Parker, a friend of Alex, would like to be some kind of high-profile celebrity investigative journalist, maybe the next Julian Assange, but as of right now, he's living with his mom.  At this very moment of podcast uncertainty, Parker visits with a story he feels will send him and her show into the national spotlight.  His controversial proposal puts Alex in an uncomfortable dilemma. Does she satisfy her need for edgy content or pull back to save her slipping audience base?

WITHIN THESE WALLS is a collection of new works commissioned by The Landing Theatre Company from local playwrights Brendan Bourque-Sheil and Esme Wu for a site-specific micro theatre project set in a specific house in the Heights. These performances are presented for audiences of only 18 people at a time in a working BnB. WITHIN THESE WALLS is an intimate, up-close, immersive theatre experience where the audience sits in the house that the stories happen in, and watch the drama unfold around them. There will be performances 7 days a week (except for Halloween night) in rotation throughout the run.

Houston playwright Brendan Bourque-Sheil is one of the Landing Theatre Company’s newest Literary Associates.  He is in charge of Landing Local: New Works Initiatives, which focuses on creating opportunities specifically for local writers within the Houston area.  Brendan has been instrumental in developing our new micro theatre projects, as well as launching a Developmental Reading Series for local playwrights.  The overall goal of Landing Local, and its many new works projects, is to expand the artistic opportunities for local playwrights, while building meaningful new work experiences for Houston audiences and artists.
