Review: ANNA IN THE TROPICS at Ground Floor Theatre
by Sabrina Wallace - August 25, 2022
What did our critic think of ANNA IN THE TROPICS at Ground Floor Theatre? Enter the Ground Floor Theatre and be transported to a much simpler time, 1929 Florida. Cigars are rolled by hand, families work the craft together, and workers are entertained by the sound of a “lector” - a reader. Can you smell the thick and sweet aroma of the Cuban cigars, yet?
Review: THE INHERITANCE PART I on ZACH's Kleberg Stage
by Joni Lorraine - August 23, 2022
What did our critic think of ZACH'S THE INHERITANCE PART I at ZACH Kleburg Theatre?

Forster play such a literally integral role in Lopez's sprawling theatrical adaptation of the novel. His mother later also bought Lopez the book. He fell in love with it, and fell in love with Forster or, more specifically, Forster's queerness.

by Lynn Beaver - August 22, 2022
I urge you to grab your tickets for the final weekend before it’s completely sold out, it will be. HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH made its debut Off Broadway in 1998, an in-your-face rock musical with a non-hetero-normative central character that shocked audiences with its raw narrative. Looking back at a show that's 24 years old, one would think that the material, once shocking, would be less impactful given the intervening time and
