The Exchange Artists to Ride A STREETCAR STRAIGHT TO HELL, 10/31
by BWW News Desk - October 14, 2013
The Exchange Artists are thrilled to present the fourth date in their Hot Nights series matching a bit of theatre with a hot local band. A Streetcar Straight to Hell is a bloody HotNight appropriate for Halloween night! We don't need zombies or vampires to terrify. Just watch the iconic characters from Tennessee Williams' similarly named southern drama as they break out of their traditional roles and run amuck all over The Blackheart Bar leaving a trail of blood and original endings. This is a theatrical take on the slasher film genre. The play will be underscored by the infectious electronic and rock/punk concoction that is DD Dagger, fronted by Allyson Lipkin. DD Dagger will come back after the play for a full danceable set making the whole evening a big party. The Blackheart Bar will provide specialty themed cocktails. This one-time-only event will be Thursday, October 31st, 2013 at The Blackheart, 86 Rainey Street, Austin, TX, 78701. The doors open at 8:00 pm for the 9:00 pm show. The cover is $5 cash at the door.

BWW Reviews: DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER Pays Homage to Hitchcockian Suspense with Varying Results
by Jeff Davis - October 13, 2013
Is there such thing as the perfect murder? That's certainly the question at the heart of Dial "M" for Murder, the 1952 drama about a husband's plot to murder his adulterous wife. Frederick Knott's play, now playing at University of Texas Department of Theatre and Dance, is not as well-known as the Alfred Hitchcock directed film version, and while the production succeeds wonderfully in some areas, it struggles in others.

BWW Reviews: BOOK OF MORMON Writes the Book on Getting Away with Lewd Comedy
by Jeff Davis - October 04, 2013
At the end of the first act of The Book of Mormon, now playing Austin's Bass Concert Hall for a two week run, I thought to myself, 'This is the most distasteful, crude, offensive, and subversive musical I've ever seen, and I'm loving every minute of it.' When I went out to the lobby, it was clear that the audience agreed. Everyone was smiling and wiping away tears of laughter as they quoted some of the best lines so far.

BWW Reviews: Sam Bass's RED VELVET CAKE WAR is a Redneck Riot
by Jeff Davis - October 02, 2013
Last October, I visited Sam Bass Theatre for the first time. They were producing The Hallelujah Girls, a Southern screwball comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, and I was instantly impressed at the company's ability to bring zany characters to life. It's now a year after my first visit to Sam Bass. Once again, they're staging a comedy by Jones, Hope, and Wooten, and once again, I'm impressed. Their current production of The Red Velvet Cake War is so delectable and delicious, it could only be improved if the audience were fed some complimentary red velvet cake.

by Jeff Davis - October 01, 2013
If the thought of a brilliant hour of theater featuring twisted puppets living in someone's head sounds like your idea of a good time, I have one suggestion for you. Stop what you're doing, buy tickets to see The Head, and then keep reading this review. On the flipside, if the thought of a brilliant hour of theater featuring twisted puppets living in someone's head does not sound like your idea of a good time, I have one suggestion for you. Stop what you're doing, admit that you're wrong, buy tickets to see The Head, and then keep reading this review. Like their recent hit, The Cruel Circus, which premiered this past spring, The Head is a jaw-dropping piece of theater with a smart, hilarious text and incredibly imaginative visuals.

by Jeff Davis - September 30, 2013
Though art about art has been all over Austin as of late, there's always room for one more production provided it's as good as this. Museum is a bold, laugh-out-loud farce that lovingly mocks the pretentiousness often found in both modern art and those who claim to love and understand it.
