The original Houston cast of Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical, led by Julianne McBride as Kathryn. The Garden Theatre Returns to the ‘90s in Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical The Houston theatre company brings back their raucous, nostalgic musical production based on the familiar ‘90s cult classic. HOUSTON - (December , 2025) - The Garden Theatre has announced its plans to bring the stage version of a cult classic back to life in Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical at MATCH in celebration of their 5th season. Featuring the familiar story accompanied by ‘90s hits, the production will run December 26, 2025-January 11, 2026 at Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston (3400 Main St.) in the heart of midtown, including a special New Year’s Eve performance and ‘90s party. This production marks the return of the theatre’s sold out 2022 run of the Houston premiere of this campy, iconic story. Founding Artistic Director and director of this production, Logan Vaden, says, “I cannot contain my excitement that we are bringing the stage version of Cruel Intentions back to Houston audiences. It really is essentially the movie we all know and love, just with every ‘90s song you can imagine stuffed into it. It is a raucous good time. As a ‘90s baby myself, there is not a single song in this show that I didn’t already know. It really is the ‘90s pop concert of your dreams.” “When we did this show three years ago, it was like a party in the theatre every night,” Vaden continues. “I had never seen anything like it. Everyone was along for the ride, especially the ones that took advantage of the themed drinking game in the Playbill! Date night, girl’s night out… You name it! This show is perfect for anyone just looking to have a great time.” Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical is based on the iconic 1999 film starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Geller. The musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Fueled by revenge and passion, the diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl — and anyone who gets in their way — they find themselves playing a perilous game with only one rule: Never fall in love. Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical features songs originally performed by ‘90s pop icons Christina Aguilera, *NYSNC, TLC, Boyz II Men, REM, and of course, Britney Spears. Entertainment Weekly described the original New York run as “the ultimate night out,” while the New York Times called it “funny and nostalgia-fueled.” BroadwayWorld said of the original Houston run (which ran over Thanksgiving, 2022), “It is the most fun you will have at any theatre this holiday season!” The film version of Cruel Intentions premiered in 1999, written and directed by Roger Kumble. The movie was adapted into a musical by Kumble, Lindsey Rosin, Jordan Ross, and premiered in Los Angeles in 2015. Following the Los Angeles run, the musical enjoyed a healthy Off-Broadway run and a national tour. The cast of Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical are all local professionals including Jake Cummings as Sebastian Valmont, Julianne McBride as Kathryn Mertuil, Jackie Cortina as Annette Hargrove, Morgan Kaupert as Cecile Caldwell, Daniel Edwards as Greg McConnell, Efren Calderon as Blaine Tuttle, Miles Estes as Ronald Clifford, and Wendy Taylor as Bunny Caldwell. Gillian Grace and Matt Hurt round out the cast as onstage swings. Original Houston cast member, Whitney Wyatt, will return as Bunny Caldwell for the final weekend of the musical’s run. The production team consists of Logan Vaden as director, Jake Cummings as music director, Annelea Bootle as choreographer, Whitney Zangarine as intimacy director, Nicholas White as set designer, Blake Minor as light designer, Jay Gracia as fight choreographer, and Jessica Garcia as stage manager. Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical will run for sixteen performances only from December 26, 2025-January 11, 2025 at MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theatre Center Houston; 3400 Main St. Houston, TX 77002). Adult tickets are $30. Student and senior tickets are $25. The Garden Theatre will also host a special New Year’s Eve performance on December 31 beginning at 8:30pm, with an afterparty beginning immediately after, featuring an open bar, ‘90s music and dancing, a champagne toast, and light bites. New Year’s Eve pricing is set at $55 for individuals over 21, and $40 for those under 21. Tickets are available on the theatre’s website at www.thegardentheatre.org or by calling the MATCH box office at 713-521-4533. # # # About The Garden Theatre The Garden Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit theatre company established in 2021 with the mission of amplifying local talent by producing quality, artist-driven storytelling and forward-thinking theatrical experiences for audiences as diverse as the City of Houston.

But despite the rumors, the world’s most aggressive language-learning mascot isn’t opening restaurants, bars, or study halls inside old wing joints. This entire phenomenon is a brilliant, chaotic, and entirely on-brand Duolingo marketing stunt — and it’s working flawlessly. 🦉 Why Duolingo Chose Hooters Buildings At first glance, the connection between a language-learning app and a sports-bar restaurant chain seems random. But there’s a clever reason behind the takeover: 1. Both Brands Use an Owl Hooters’ long-time mascot is an owl, and of course, Duo is an owl. So when Hooters began closing dozens of locations across the country after filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024, what did Duolingo see? “Empty nests.” In Duolingo’s own words: “Duo has always had a flair for drama. When he spotted empty nests around the country, he did what any overly ambitious owl might do: leave a few feathers and see who noticed.” And oh, people noticed. 📢 A Marketing Stunt Built for Viral Reaction Duolingo is famous for its wild, theatrical marketing style — from its TikTok antics to mascot pranks, pop-ups, and meme-heavy campaigns. This newest stunt takes that strategy to the physical world. What They Did
Thousands of shares. Hundreds of local news stories. Endless speculation. And millions of people suddenly talking about Duolingo — without Duolingo spending traditional ad money. 🏚️ Why Closed Hooters Locations Made Perfect TargetsHooters’ closures created a perfect storm:
🛍️ So… Is Duolingo Opening Real Stores? Not yet. The banners on old Hooters buildings are 100% temporary and part of a coordinated media stunt. However… Duolingo has been experimenting with physical pop-ups and real-world experiences. They’ve even created themed spaces in cities like Pittsburgh — including a Duolingo Taqueria. Their long-term strategy? To turn Duo into a pop-culture icon as recognizable as Pikachu or the Geico gecko. So while these specific “takeovers” won’t become real locations, Duolingo is exploring physical expansions in the future — immersive spaces, events, mascots, and interactive installations. 🔮 What Could Become Available If Duolingo Ever Opened a Real Location? While hypothetical, Duolingo’s brand direction suggests exciting possibilities: ✨ Potential Real-World Concepts
🎤 The Viral Takeover: A Win for Both Duolingo & Hooters Interestingly, many marketing analysts note this stunt also helps Hooters by:
⭐ Final Word Duolingo hasn’t bought Hooters buildings. Duo isn’t launching a wing-and-lessons combo (yet). And no, you won’t need to order a side of fries to practice your Spanish. But what Duolingo has done is prove — once again — that creativity, humor, and a little bit of chaos can dominate the media cycle without spending millions. The owl strikes again… and this time, he’s nesting in the most unexpected places.

Dickinson Gators Football This one hurts, but our hearts are full. The big-hearted Dickinson Gators closed out an unbelievable 13–1 season tonight against an incredible North Shore team that has been a superpower in Texas and across the nation for years. Our boys fought with everything they had, just like they have all season, and we could not be more proud of them. What a ride this year has been. We shattered the 48-year single-season scoring record. We finished as one of the top eight teams in Texas. And we did it with grit, joy, and a community behind us that never stopped believing. Huge respect to Coach Snelson, the entire coaching staff, every player in that locker room, and everyone who lifts up GatorNation week in and week out. This program is special because of all of you. And a special hats off to our seniors. You set the tone, you carried the standard, and you left this program better than you found it. And let’s be honest… next year is going to be fun. We’ve got a strong core of returning starters, including our quarterback Lorenzo Aguirre and an exciting wave of young Gators coming up who are ready to make their mark. GatorNation, hold your heads high. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. GATA and GFND! Dickinson ISD Athletics Dickinson ISD Alumni Association DHS Gators Booster Club Dickinson Independent School District    La Marque Police Department Today, the La Marque Police Department is grieving a tremendous loss. With deepest sorrow, we share that Sergeant Richard Garcia passed away earlier today after a brave and courageous fight against cancer. Sgt.

His kindness, his leadership, and the impact he made on those around him will forever remain part of the fabric of our department. Losing him leaves a profound emptiness in our LMPD family, one that words cannot fully express. We are heartbroken, yet deeply grateful for the years we had with him and the legacy he leaves behind. During this incredibly difficult time, we respectfully ask the community to keep Sgt. Garcia’s family, friends, and our officers in your thoughts and prayers. Rest easy, Sgt. Garcia.
