Most people know Vincent van Gogh through his paintings.
Review: INSOMNIA CAFE at Dirty Gold Theatre
What happens when fandom becomes an obsession? Dirty Gold Theatre's Insomnia Cafe takes a ridiculous premise and turns it into something surprisingly unsettling.

The Robber Bridegroom is a wildly entertaining evening of bluegrass, folklore, romance, and comedy.

Funny, warm, and painfully relatable, Austin Playhouse’s Erma Bombeck: at wit's end transforms domestic chaos into razor-sharp comedy.
Review: WAKEY, WAKEY. at Hyde Park Theatre
At first, Wakey, Wakey feels like an eccentric conversation filled with dry humor and scattered thoughts.

In Dillon Christopher Chitto’s PUEBLO REVOLT, now playing at Ground Floor Theatre, history breathes through two brothers standing at the edge of revolution.

Review: MAMMA MIA! at Bass Concert Hall
Hey There! Have you seen MAMMA MIA the Musical? How about Mamma Mia the film with the legendary Meryl Streep? How about Abba, the band? You know, the Swedish group that took the world by storm in 1974 when they won the Eurovision song contest with “Waterloo”?
Review: TAKE CARE OF MY FRIEND at The Filigree Theatre
The world premiere of Kathleen Fletcher’s autobiographical Take Care of My Friend is a raw, funny, and unflinching portrait of life with OCD, anxiety, and depression.

Dear Evan Hansen at ZACH explores mental illness, grief, and the aftermath of a teenage tragedy in a hyperconnected world.

The Hidden Room’s Fire Raisers is chilling and razor-sharp, where politeness becomes peril in a world where truth is seen and still ignored.

City Theatre Austin’s Men on Boats is a sharp historical comedy where an all women and non-binary ensemble dismantles frontier myth making.
Review: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH at ART At Ground Floor Theatre
Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Ground Floor Theatre delivers a stripped-down, electric experience, telling a story of identity, loss, and resilience.
Review: WILD HORSES at Penfold Theatre
The effervescent Jennifer Coy Jennings has become so synonymous with the role of Woman in WILD HORSES here in Austin, that the mind is thrown off to see other faces out there on the interwebs when researching the play.
Review: PRIVATE LIVES at Bandwagon Arts
Bandwagon Arts gives Noël Coward’s Private Lives a modern twist at Ground Floor Theatre.
Review: DEATHTRAP at The Wimberley Players
The Wimberley Players production of Deathtrap is a smart psychological thriller about ambition, legacy, and deception.
