All That Glitters Is Not Necessarily Mariah

When a group of gay men gets together, expect plenty of drama.

But even more laughter.

The Texas premiere of Pure Glitter from Uptown Players at the Kalita Humphreys Theater promises that and more.

Written by two-time Emmy-nominated playwright Douglas Lyons, Pure Glitter focuses on a group of friends gather for a 10th anniversary surprise party that brings out all sorts of secrets. The show dives into modern-day relationships, chosen family and themes of love—all from the most witty POV imaginable.

The show runs March 20–29, 2026 and tickets run $36-$66.

Directed by Dallas native Emerson Collins, Pure Glitter will add plenty of sparkle to any upcoming evening.

Or afternoon if you’re a matinee kinda person.

While you’re purchasing your tickets, make sure to purchase $25 raffle tickets to the Broadway Your Way Grand Prize, in conjunction with this spring’s annual Broadway Our Way fundraiser this April.

Up for grabs: a fabulous New York City vacation, including round-trip coach airfare for two from DFW to LGA on American Airlines, a four-night stay in a Manhattan hotel, a $2000 Broadway.com gift card to see whichever shows strike your fancy, plus a $1,000 gift card for meals and incidentals.

That’s one helluva a spectacular prize!

Outside of purchasing tickets to a show, it’s one of the best ways that you can help Uptown Players continue to bring us the best live theater in town.
