Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Georgetown Palace Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - June 09, 2026

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

Review: INSOMNIA CAFE at Dirty Gold Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - June 07, 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: 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: 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�...
