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

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.

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...
