Honesty may be the best policy, but it's not the most fun one.

Whether at their best or worst, Erica and Ben are always honest and authentic, and that honesty and authenticity is what The Boys Next Door revolves around.

Upon entering Hyde Park Theatre for a chick and a dude's current production of The Whale, you get several clues about the central character of Charlie.

BWW Reviews: Austin Shakespeare's OTHELLO Beautifully Designed and Acted
When Austin Shakespeare announced that their 2013-2014 season would feature a production of Othello, my immediate response was "Why?" After all, Austin's City Theatre produced the show just last season, and it was, as I mentioned in my review, "the highlight of the City Theatre's season.

BWW Reviews: WICKED Flies High in Austin Due to Outstanding Supporting Cast

It's entirely appropriate that the first syllable of Audra McDonald's name is pronounced "awe.

It's astounding and a little sad that of all the things that have fallen out of style since the 1600s, hypocrisy isn't one of them.
BWW Reviews: Quirky DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE Bolstered by Talented Cast and Imaginative Design
It's rare for two plays by the same playwright to run simultaneously in Austin.

BWW Reviews: Austin Lyric Opera's TOSCA Triumphs

There's no doubt that People Will Talk About You Sometimes has good intentions, something I applaud and have no intention to criticize.
BWW Reviews: BOWIE PROJECT Is a Dance Oddity
It's about time that the music of David Bowie gets a stage treatment, and it's no wonder that the inventive Andrea Ariel Dance Theatre clearly sees the potential to create a unique theatrical experience through Bowie's work.
