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

Review: REEFER MADNESS, THE MUSICAL at Austin Community College


by Sabrina Wallace - March 03, 2026

Review: WITCH at HYDE PARK THEATRE


by Sabrina Wallace - February 24, 2026

Review: THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL at City Theatre Austin


by Sabrina Wallace - February 24, 2026

Some plays rush. In Horton Foote’s award-winning play, The Trip to Bountiful, longing feels biblical, and patience gets tested, and City Theatre’s production reminds you how to sit still. Judith Laird is all steel beneath fragility, as an aging mother chasing the ghost of her childhood home. But...

Review: URINETOWN at Mary Moody Northen Theatre

Review: SWING! at Georgetown Palace Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - February 14, 2026

Swing! at Georgetown Palace Theatre proves that when the set disappears, the rhythm takes over. A bare stage, a blazing live band, powerhouse vocals, and choreography that fills every inch of space. The audience was tapping along all night, me included. Theatre adapts, communities rally, and the sho...
