Review: FAIRVIEW at Ground Floor Theatre
by Joni Lorraine - March 04, 2025
Fair warning: Jackie Sibblies Drury's FAIRVIEW isn't your typical night at the theatre. The play starts out looking like a normal family comedy but quickly turns into something else entirely. Imagine sitting down for what seems like a standard TV sitcom about a Black family, and then suddenly everything you thought you knew gets turned upside down. It's funny, shocking, and confronting.

From February 21 to March 9, Bastrop Opera House presents URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann as the 4th offering of their 2024-2025 season, an offbeat musical that blends dark humor with social commentary on corruption, class struggle, and the environment.
