BWW Review: ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD at Texas State University Delivers a One-of-a-Kind Theatre Experience
It's rare that I see a production that leaves me speechless like Texas State's production of ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. This show is so conceptual and cerebral that it is an experience that you won't often find in the theatre. In short, director Allison Price has put together a truly sin...

BWW Review: DRACULA at Zach Theatre
I'm a complete sucker for a good horror story so I was very excited to review DRACULA.

An outstanding playwright, Dietz's latest i...

BWW Review: JEKYLL & HYDE at MacTheatre
It's #savage season at MacTheatre, the Fine Arts Academy of McCallum High School. #Savage feels firmly planted in 2019 as that word, as every day vernacular, feels like new-fangled millennial vocabulary.
