Join Stages as they welcome DeQuina Moore, one of Houston’s most talented souls, home for the holidays in this Christmas cabaret. In addition to a flurry of holiday hits, DeQuina will share personal stories, from growing up in Houston to backstage on Broadway.

Her most recent role in Plumshuga as Houston’s own Lauren Anderson propelled DeQuina to tell her own story of growing up in Houston. An HSPVA grad, Dequina continues to invest her talents in the city she loves.

“Lauren’s courage to tell her story in Plumshuga inspired me deeply,” said DeQuina. “I wanted to bring that same bravery and openness to the stage for Houston for the Holidays.”

You’ll laugh, cry and maybe even sing along during this evening of reflection, storytelling, and incredible music.

Known for Broadway roles in Legally Blonde (Pilar), Little Shop of Horrors (Chiffon), Two Gentleman of Verona (Sylvia u/s, Ensemble), and Hair (AFC), film appearances in One Crazy Christmas (Mother), Joyful Noise (Devonne), Madea’s Big Happy Family (Singer), The Last New Yorker (Alice), Ghost Town (Young Wife), and Rachel Getting Married (Rachel’s Stylist), and special performances for The Tony Awards, The View, The David Letterman Show, and The Today Show, DeQuina is a critically-acclaimed Houston-based actor and singer. Her most recent role as Lauren Anderson in Plumshuga: The Rise of Lauren Anderson garnered her national attention.

According to Natalie De La Garza from Houston Press, “...Moore carries this production. It’s her command, her ability to expertly execute the poetic musicality of Mouton’s well-crafted words – while also infusing them with vulnerability, humor, doubt, cheekiness – that make Moore the perfect beacon for the ‘Plumshuga lighthouse.”
