BWW Reviews: PICNIC Heats Up The Playhouse
by BWW News Desk - May 26, 2013
Though we're still experiencing mild May weather, things are getting steamy at The Playhouse in San Antonio. The Playhouse's solid production of Willima Inge's Picnic, which runs through May 26th, is a riveting exploration of love and loneliness in a small Kansas town. While many other plays explore the same themes, few do so with this much heat. If there really was this much going on in Kansas, Dorothy would have had no reason to go to Oz.

BWW Reviews: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at The Vex Buds But Doesn't Bloom
by Jeff Davis - May 19, 2013
Early on in Little Shop of Horrors, the crowd favorite musical now playing at the Sheldon Vexler Theatre, forlorn florist Seymour Krelborn begs his strange and interesting but dying new plant, dubbed the Audrey II, to bloom. The same pleas could be asked of the show. While bolstered by some talented and gifted performers, this production sadly remains a seedling that doesn't completely sprout.

The 2013-2014 Season for Classic Theatre of San Antonio brings with it exciting shows and the need for a new home.

JumpStart Performance Company's lease with Blue Star Arts Complex, however, will not be renewed.

BWW Reviews: Woodlawn Theatre's THE PRODUCERS Produces Laugh After Laugh
by Jeff Davis - April 12, 2013
I'm sad to report that I may have missed several moments of The Producers, currently playing at San Antonio's Woodlawn Theatre. The downside of having to wipe tears of laughter out of your eyes is that you miss a few seconds of action. Of course, that's hardly a complaint about this solid, polished, and professional production. Woodlawn Theatre's current production of The Producers illustrates exactly why the show was such a hit when it opened in 2001 and why it continues to please audiences. Despite the occasional offensiveness and cheekiness, the show is an enjoyable laugh riot that you can't help but love.

Classic Theatre Presents SCAPIN, Opening 5/10
by BWW News Desk - April 11, 2013
Vaudeville and Commedia Dell' Arte are seamlessly woven into an uproarious fable of scheming lovers, mistaken identities, and clownish, greedy servants. Balancing on a delicate tightrope of mischief and revenge, the crafty servant Scapin promises to help two pairs of wide-eyed lovers while juggling an array of elaborate disguises to keep their wealthy fathers from discovering the truth. Remaining true to Moliere's classic farcical tale from the seventeenth century, this fresh and side-splitting adaptation adds a late twentieth century spin to the language and hilarious non-stop action. This production features some of San Antonio's most talented actors, including recent Juilliard School of Drama graduate Brendan Spieth in the title role.
