Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Austin Playhouse


by Sabrina Wallace - April 21, 2026

Austin Playhouse’s A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, directed by Lara Toner Haddock, is a fast, witty farce about Monty Navarro and his murderous path to inheritance. The humor lands through timing and structure rather than weight or message. I’d almost forgotten how funny it is, and it�...

Review: MAMMA MIA! at Bass Concert Hall


by Joni Lorraine - April 16, 2026

Hey There! Have you seen MAMMA MIA the Musical? How about Mamma Mia the film with the legendary Meryl Streep? How about Abba, the band? You know, the Swedish group that took the world by storm in 1974 when they won the Eurovision song contest with “Waterloo”? ...

Review: TAKE CARE OF MY FRIEND at The Filigree Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - April 14, 2026

The world premiere of Kathleen Fletcher’s autobiographical Take Care of My Friend is a raw, funny, and unflinching portrait of life with OCD, anxiety, and depression. A powerful ensemble-driven piece that turns intrusive thoughts into theatre and breaks isolation through honesty. Worth every laugh...

Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Zach Theater


by Sabrina Wallace - April 12, 2026

Dear Evan Hansen at ZACH explores mental illness, grief, and the aftermath of a teenage tragedy in a hyperconnected world. Strong cast led by Evan Jennings, emotional music, and urgent themes left me moved, reflective, and deeply affected....

Review: THE FIRE RAISERS at The Hidden Room


by Sabrina Wallace - April 12, 2026

The Hidden Room’s Fire Raisers is chilling and razor-sharp, where politeness becomes peril in a world where truth is seen and still ignored. Under Beth Burns, it mirrors a culture where power bends consequence, and complicity hides in plain sight....

Review: MEN ON BOATS at City Theatre Austin


by Sabrina Wallace - April 10, 2026

City Theatre Austin’s Men on Boats is a sharp historical comedy where an all women and non-binary ensemble dismantles frontier myth making. Clever staging, precise physical comedy, and bold direction turn conquest into satire....

Review: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH at ART At Ground Floor Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - April 09, 2026

Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Ground Floor Theatre delivers a stripped-down, electric experience, telling a story of identity, loss, and resilience. Fueled by a powerhouse performance, it becomes more than theater, it is a bold call to uplift and protect queer voices....

Review: WILD HORSES at Penfold Theatre


by Joni Lorraine - March 11, 2026

The effervescent Jennifer Coy Jennings has become so synonymous with the role of Woman in WILD HORSES here in Austin, that the mind is thrown off to see other faces out there on the interwebs when researching the play. ...

Review: PRIVATE LIVES at Bandwagon Arts


by Sabrina Wallace - March 07, 2026

Bandwagon Arts gives Noël Coward’s Private Lives a modern twist at Ground Floor Theatre. Ex-spouses Elyot and Amanda collide on neighboring honeymoon balconies, and chaos follows. Quick wit, messy romance, and socialites behaving badly keep this classic comedy humming....

Review: DEATHTRAP at The Wimberley Players


by Sabrina Wallace - March 03, 2026

The Wimberley Players production of Deathtrap is a smart psychological thriller about ambition, legacy, and deception. The beautiful, restrained set supports suspense, and the strong cast shines all the way through....
