Most Americans would agree that our nation's current political climate is the most polarizing in recent history.

BWW Review: DANCE NATION is Brash, Brazen, and Unabashedly Beautiful
DANCE NATION is a visceral, unyielding portrayal of the journey from child to adult.

BWW Review: ANN at ZACH Theatre
ANN at Zach Theatre is, simply put, the perfect production. It is immensely fitting that this show about the governor of Texas is being told literal minutes away from the state capitol. It's so fitting that I can't imagine this show being performed anywhere other than Texas just on the sheer amount ...

BWW Review: Different Stages' A DOLL'S HOUSE is an Excellent Rendering of the Ibsen Classic
As it did when it originally premiered, the drama holds a mirror up to what is considered acceptable in a society, without judgment or bias. The show's observant nature starkly highlights the place and power of women, a topic which still audibly resonates with audience members today....

BWW Review: Recommended Viewing (and reading): THE BOOK OF WILL Delights at Austin Playhouse
You can't write about a work of Shakespeare or about a work about Shakespeare without quoting one of his most famous (and theatrically appropriate) lines: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." But on the stage of the Austin Playhouse, the men and women aren't merely pl...
