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

Review: REEFER MADNESS, THE MUSICAL at Austin Community College


by Sabrina Wallace - March 03, 2026

Reefer Madness at ACC is a ferocious, laugh-out-loud takedown of moral panic, powered by fearless performances and razor-sharp satire. Campy, chaotic, and uncomfortably timely. Playing thru March 14th, 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.

Review: URINETOWN at Mary Moody Northen Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - February 14, 2026

Urinetown now playing at MMNT - A musical so funny it hits like a warning. Corporate greed, drought, revolt—and the water still runs out. Laugh. Think. Repeat....

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...

Review: THE LAST MATCH at FILIGREE THEATRE


by Sabrina Wallace - February 10, 2026

'The Last Match' by Anna Ziegler centers on U.S. Open semifinalists Tim Porter and Sergei Sergeyev, and their partners, blending onstage action with flashbacks and fourth-wall narration. The play explores ambition, love, and the personal cost of success....
