What did our critic think of THE SUNSHINE BOYS at BECK CENTER?

ART’s production of 'The Normal Heart' delivers the play’s message and invites audiences to consider our role in the ongoing fight for justice and compassion. Kramer’s timeless work remains a vital and moving testament to the enduring power of activism, community, and the importance of solidarity in the face of adversity. #austintheatre #ART

This time, the reader question was: How often do shows like The Wiz start on tour before coming to Broadway?

Sometimes, it’s fun to watch a theatre company let their hair down and have fun. And with ON MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH, the Ensemble Theatre does just that. This is a giggle-filled, fast-paced murder thriller in the vein of Agatha Christie being spoofed at every turn. It is high-energy, camp, and perfect if you want an evening watching a talented cast having a blast going through a farce.
