Entrances and Exits: Houston's Theatre History Jim Bernhard has had a hand in the inner workings of nearly every major theater group in Houston at one time or another, his associations running from Theatre Under the Stars (his current employer) to the Alley to Stages to SPA and more. He's even done a little writing for the stage and has acted and ... well, he knows his stuff. He's probably hip to a lot of dirt, too, but he may be too polite, or too entrenched, to share the good stuff. Still, this lecture, the third in the "Houston: Our City, Our Past" series, will offer insight into where Houston theater's been and maybe where it's headed. 8 p.m. First Unitarian Universalist Church, 5200 Fannin, 526-5200. Free.
