Austin Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Austin.
Review: ALL MY SONS at Texas State University's Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre
Texas State’s ALL MY SONS delivers a polished, compelling production of Arthur Miller’s American classic, pairing strong performances with exceptional design as one family confronts the devastating cost of secrets, ambition, and compromised ethics.
Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW at The Baron's Men
The Baron's Men deliver a funny, beautifully costumed, and well-acted Shakespeare classic, even if Katherine's 'happy ending' gives a modern audience plenty to debate.
Review: BOEING BOEING at TexArts
BOEING BOEING, now playing at TexArts in Lakeway, is the kind of comedy they sometimes call a “door-slamming farce” – a high-energy affair with lots of wacky hijinks, misunderstandings, and yes, characters frantically coming in and out of doors.
