BWW Review: SEVEN at Last Act Theatre Company: Powerful, Uncompromising, and Necessary
by Madelyn Geyer - August 14, 2019
Seven women. Seven unflinching stories. Last Act Theatre Company powerfully stages SEVEN, a documentary play. Seven actresses command the stage representing real-life woman who, after enduring unspeakable hardships, devoted their entire lives to empowering fellow women and enacting positive change in their communities. As I experienced it, I realized this isn't a play to entertain but to inspire and bring awareness to these women and their causes; what they've done and what they continue to do.

BWW Review: ANN at ZACH Theatre
by Addison McKissack - August 06, 2019
ANN at Zach Theatre is, simply put, the perfect production. It is immensely fitting that this show about the governor of Texas is being told literal minutes away from the state capitol.
