Review: STAGE BLOOD at Different Stages

Review: STAGE BLOOD at Different Stages

by Sabrina Wallace · June 29, 2026

If you enjoy theatre making fun of itself, Stage Blood is your kind of comedy. Different Stages embraces Charles Ludlam's gloriously ridiculous script with wit, slapstick, and plenty of theatrical mischief. Three acts, countless laughs, and an audience more than willing to join the fun.…

Review: SEARED at Austin Playhouse

Review: SEARED at Austin Playhouse

by Sabrina Wallace · June 17, 2026

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Georgetown Palace Theatre

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Georgetown Palace Theatre

by Sabrina Wallace · June 9, 2026

Jesus Christ Superstar at Georgetown Palace Theatre may be my favorite Palace production since I started reviewing in 2018.

Review: VINCENT at Penfold Theatre

by Sabrina Wallace · June 7, 2026

Review: INSOMNIA CAFE at Dirty Gold Theatre

Review: INSOMNIA CAFE at Dirty Gold Theatre

by Sabrina Wallace · June 7, 2026

What happens when fandom becomes an obsession? Dirty Gold Theatre's Insomnia Cafe takes a ridiculous premise and turns it into something surprisingly unsettling. Equal parts dark comedy and psychological thriller, the play left me laughing one moment and questioning why the next.…

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

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.…
