Review: TARTUFFE at City Theatre Austin

by Sabrina Wallace — Jun 23, 2025

Tartuffe at City Theatre Austin is a fast, funny take on Molière’s classic. Modern setting, old-school text, sharp satire. Still scary how easily we fall for false prophets, on stage and in real life. #ATXTheatre #BWW

BWW Review: Shopping Is Serious Business in Cheryl Stern's Hilarious and Poignant SHOES AND BAGGAGE

by Victoria Ordin — Aug 28, 2018

Broadway veteran Cheryl Stern's SHOES AND BAGGAGE, incubated at Nancy Manocherian's The Cell, is a sharply-written musical comedy gem about a woman's lifelong obsession with shopping. The autobiographical tale by the Jonathan Larson award-winning writer (who also wrote the lyrics for the fine music by her Drama Desk nominee and Emmy winning-composer husband, Tom Kochan) is punctuated both by moments of genuine self-awareness and tragedy--from the loss of her best friend to cancer to 9/11. Under Josh Barros' direction, the result is a ferociously honest show that doubles as a memoir about a 'working [stage] actor' (not to be confused with a 'star'), whose Jewishness lovingly and palpably informs every scene.
