BWW Review: THE BOYS NEXT DOOR Delights Austin
by Amy Bradley - Feb 1, 2016
Given the politically correct societal norms of the current day, it is refreshing to see Tom Griffin's THE BOYS NEXT DOOR come to life. Making their directorial debut during The City Theatre's 10th anniversary season, co-directors Lacey Cannon Gonzales and husband Carl Gonzales capture the highs and lows experienced by a collection of lively characters with intellectual disabilities. The love between this group of misfits is unseen by most audiences. With the honesty presented regarding the character's disabilities, one could potentially feel uncomfortable. No such feeling is present during this rendition. The care and love the company took in presenting this piece in a raw and honest way was highly impressive. By allowing us to peek into the lives of Arnold (Heath Thompson), Norman (R. Michael Clinkscales), Lucien (McArthur Moore) and Barry (Tony Salinas), the characters impediments bring a roller coaster of heart-warming laughter and heart-breaking sighs, letting you laugh without guilt, and cry without pity.

BWW Reviews: EGGHEADS is a Hysterical Valentine to Screwball Comedies
by Jeff Davis - Sep 12, 2013
In a rare moment of profoundness and introspection, Groucho Marx once said, "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose what it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." I'm sure Groucho would be pleased to know that a handful of artists in Austin are choosing to spread happiness and joy with Eggheads, a valentine to the Marx Brothers and their antics. Anyone who loves 1930s screwball comedies is sure to love this show.
