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

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

Hyde Park’s production of WITCH is sharp, funny, and quietly ferocious. A Devil with a grin, a witch that questions the status quo, a town built on bargains, and ambition that bites back. You’ll leave checking your own contracts. Through March 21st. ...

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: BEEHIVE: THE 60S MUSICAL at TexArts


by Sabrina Wallace - February 17, 2026

Big hair, bigger voices, and zero apologies. Beehive: The 60s Musical at TexARTS is pure jukebox joy: love songs turn into liberation anthems, wigs rise as the decade unfolds, and seven powerhouse women keep the audience laughing and singing along. Profound? No. A ridiculously good time? Abso-freaki...
