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. Sarah Fleming Walker commands the stage in a captivating solo performance that captures the exhaustion, wit, ambition, and quiet resilience behind Bombeck’s icon...

Review: WAKEY, WAKEY. at Hyde Park Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - May 26, 2026

At first, Wakey, Wakey feels like an eccentric conversation filled with dry humor and scattered thoughts. Then the truth lands. Hyde Park Theatre’s production of Will Eno’s play is intimate and funny, and Ken Webster delivers a deeply human performance....

Review: PUEBLO REVOLT at Ground Floor Theatre


by Joni Lorraine - May 21, 2026

In Dillon Christopher Chitto’s PUEBLO REVOLT, now playing at Ground Floor Theatre, history breathes through two brothers standing at the edge of revolution.

Review: THE ODD COUPLE at City Theatre Austin

City Theatre Austin revisits Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple with nostalgic charm, a detailed lived-in set, and an entertaining ensemble led by Darwin Ragsdale and Zachary Gamble.

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....
