BWW Reviews: McCallum Fine Arts Academy Stages Darker LES MISERABLES
by Jeff Davis - Mar 1, 2014

Earlier this season, I did something slightly unorthodox when I attended and reviewed Bonnie and Clyde at McCallum Fine Arts Academy. Over the past months, I've been asked about that review on more than one occasion, and the questions have typically been regarding why I'd review a High School production. The answer: McCallum Fine Arts Academy doesn't do High School theater. They do Theater. With a capital T. The quality of the work from these young performers and designers is just as strong as what you'd find from other Austin-based theater companies, and that tradition of quality continues with their current production of Les Miserables.

BWW Reviews: Texas Premiere of BONNIE AND CLYDE Hits Its Mark
by Jeff Davis - Sep 23, 2013

Sometimes going against the grain pays off. Sadly, for the real life Bonnie and Clyde, going against the grain by becoming bank-robbing outlaws ended in their demise, but for the McCallum Fine Arts Academy and their musical production of Bonnie & Clyde, doing something daring and different is far more fruitful. Even when compared to productions starring more experienced, seasoned performers, Bonnie & Clyde is an exceptional accomplishment.
