Review: ERMA BOMBECK: AT WIT’S END at Austin Playhouse


by Sabrina Wallace - May 26, 2026

Funny, warm, and painfully relatable, Austin Playhouse’s Erma Bombeck: at wit's end transforms domestic chaos into razor-sharp comedy.

Review: WAKEY, WAKEY. at Hyde Park Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - May 26, 2026

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: 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....
