Review: FUNNY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE at Georgetown Palace Theatre's Playhouse Stage
Set against a full moon and reminiscent of variety shows, Jones, Hope and Wooten’s FUNNY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE mixes comedy, folly, nearly absurd situations, a hint of slapstick, and a lot of heart in four wildly hilarious situations where “that four=letter word L-O-V-E” is at stake. ...

Review: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Bastrop Opera House
The musicals of the 1920s-1940s are rich territory for parody since many imported the stylistic elements (vaudeville, dance hall style, revue, et al.) of popular entertainment of the era to carry the shows, often disadvantaging well-developed plot lines and complex characters....
Review: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF at Gaslight-Baker Theatre
