BWW Reviews: PRIVATE LIVES as Bubbly and Giddy a Delight as Fine Champagne
by Frank Benge - March 02, 2015
Noel Coward's plays are, for the most part, theatrical souffles: the ingredients are very simple and, when handled correctly, are deliciously light and tasty; however, in the hands of the inexperienced, they can turn out to be a mess best thrown away. I am happy to report that in the case of PRIVATE LIVES, now being staged by Agape Actors Co-op, the chefs know exactly what they are doing… this production is Coward done right and is a tasty treat for lovers of light, frothy, witty entertainment.

BWW Reviews: Sam Bass Offers Charming, Quirky Look at Family With TABLE SETTINGS
by Jeff Davis - February 26, 2015
There isn't much to say about the idea of the American Family that hasn't already been said, but as Table Settings proves, it's not what you say but how you say that matters. The joyous comedy, written by James Lapine and directed by Frank Benge, ops for episodes and sketches rather than a linear plot to give us a glimpse into the lives of a surnameless Jewish family, and each slice of life placed on the table is more delicious than the last.

BWW Interviews: John Steven Gardner of ONCE on Tour Shares Experiences on the Road
by Kathy Strain - February 16, 2015
ONCE is the musical about Guy and Girl meeting and falling in love. It is more than a love story, though. There are a lot of ups and downs and plenty of antagonists they have to deal with along the way. One of them is Eamon, the sound engineer at a recording studio. His own jaded past threatens the future for Guy and Girl. We recently caught up with John Steven Gardner, who plays Eamon and he shared his unique road to the role and how he feels about living the dream.

BWW Reviews: Fantasies Come True! AVENUE Q is BACK at Austin Theatre Project
by Wendi Reichstein - February 16, 2015
I've seen three productions of Avenue Q in my life, all of them ranging from the Broadway national tour to a local community theater performance, to Sunday's matinee performed by the Austin Theatre Project. Bottom line: Avenue Q smart, funny, and relatable show. It's crude, sometimes a bit cringe-worthy, but simultaneously downright hilarious. Throw in an equally humorous and catchy soundtrack, and it's no wonder the show won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical (beating Wicked, mind you).
