4th Wall Theatre Company's vision is to bring to the Houston community a wide range of visionary works. In a desire to bring the highest caliber of acting to the stage, Lehl and Tobin follow the acting techniques and traditions passed on to them by Sanford Meisner and Stella Adler. “We want to reach back to the plays of the past as well as works from the present and bring what we view to be some of the great works of theatre to Houston audiences,” Tobin says. “In our desire to bring great plays to the community,” Lehl adds, “we also aim to bring exciting new premiere works to our patrons.”

It is a four-course sit-down dinner in which each guest is allowed to choose their own entree. In between each course of the meal, we have another part of the show. The show is an interactive and improvised comedic murder mystery set in the present day. None of our performers are dressed in costume, but instead are dressed just like everyone else; therefore you do not know who is a part of the show and who isn’t. The show takes place throughout the entire room, and performers may actually be seated at your table, so part of the fun from the beginning is trying to figure out who’s involved in the crime and who’s not. Throughout the night, murders and mayhem will occur, hidden clues will come forth and our Detectives will help everyone try to solve the crime. In the end, we have a prize package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime.

After years in education and parish ministry Richey now returns to her first love of making art. She graduated with a B.F.A. in art from the University of Texas in Austin in 1964 with certification to teach art at all levels. Initially trained in oil painting she switched to acrylics while her children were young. She worked independently as a fine artist for a number of years receiving various awards including a Best of Show in Brazosport Art League. Richey had a one-man show in the Southeast Museum of Art which was sponsored by the Beaumont Art League who also awarded her with a Best of Show in 1964. Work in art included teaching art appreciation and basic design at Brazosport College, Freeport, Texas; instructional design work for the College of Education at University of Houston; and designer/owner/direction of Communications Design (a graphic arts studio and advertising agency), Lake Jackson, Texas. Over the years she has worked in a variety of media including collage. More recently she has taken up watercolor and pastels. She regularly meets with a life drawing group and participates in various workshops. Although landscapes have been a dominant subject of her work she now incorporates the human figure more into her work, particularly in reflections upon Hebrew and Christian religious writings.

Transplanting to Houston by way of the Rio Grande Valley, the Klubstalkerz were born in 2007. It also became a record label as a subsidiary of Astralmedia. From that point on we have been promoting and presenting shows to South Texas and other parts of the world. We specialize in artist public relations, booking, special events, music promotions, event organization, and artist management. Our artist and events come from a mixture of musical backgrounds including (metal, rock, alternative, gothic, industrial, EBM, trance, elektro, techno, Electronica, death metal, black metal, 80s, djs, and fetish events). Background on Klubstalkerz: I moved to South Texas from Denver, Colorado in 2006. Before Denver, I was living in California just North of Santa Barbara. It was here that I began traveling on the weekends to the Hollyood/LA nightlife scene. When I moved to Rocky Mountain area, I continued to pursue music and promotions under the name of Astralmedia. It was here, that my bandmates and I opened up a club to serve the Southern Wyoming/Northern Colorado music scene. I promoted heavily the metal/rock and electronica/rave scene from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Pueblo, Colorado and everywhere in between. I was also involved with the promotions of ColoKidz, Rocky Mountain Metal Scene, Colorado Hardcore, 303 Collective, NIPP, Bounce Klowns, Mountain Raves and Thunderdome USA crew. I took a great job in South Texas after college which brings us up to where we are located now. Artist/Musicians/Djs we have worked with since 2007: RadioBot Sin D.N.A.
