Noises Off is a masterclass in timing and physical comedy. The precision with which the actors execute their slapstick routines and intricate movements is truly remarkable. The well-timed door slams, missed cues, and perfectly choreographed chaos complement a perfectly written script that has audiences roaring with laughter.

Big Fish at Austin Playhouse is a beautiful production that should not be missed. It explores themes of family, love, and the power of storytelling, all brought to life by a talented cast and creative team. Catch this enchanting show before it closes on July 2nd, 2023.

City Center Theatre's rendition of The Importance of Being Earnest successfully brings Victorian England to life through its set design, costumes, and charming performances. The play's clever humor and satire shine through the comedic portrayal of societal norms and the exploration of dual identities. The talented cast, led by remarkable portrayals of Algernon and Jack, adds depth to Wilde's beloved play. This production is a delightful experience that should not be missed by theater enthusiasts of all ages.

The Adderley School celebrates 30 years of empowering kids and spreading joy at Santa Barbara's Lobero Theatre on May 27th, where three generations of Adderley School alumni will unite onstage to pay homage to their alma matter and loving founder Janet Adderley. In this interview with Broadway World, Ms. Adderley opens up about her journey, her unique approach to teaching theatre, and the work her foundation is doing to open opportunities for under-resourced communities across the country.

Indecent at the Austin Playhouse is the kind of play that makes you fall in love with theater all over again. Run to see a masterpiece that is staged to perfection and tells a story that is emotional, meaningful, and a ton of fun!

Elizabeth V. Newman moved with her family from New York City to Austin ten years ago. She is in her 4th season at The Filigree Theatre and is thrilled to have found an extended family in the Austin theatre community. The Filigree Theatre company delivers each season with a theme that ties together unique and beautiful stories.

Tide at The Filigree Theatre showed directorial and artistic courage and compassion as Ms. Newman was able to deliver a play that purposely leaves much unanswered and unresolved. An enjoyable performance that makes me want to see what Ms. Newman will bring to the stage next season.

What did our critic think of ANNA IN THE TROPICS at Ground Floor Theatre? Enter the Ground Floor Theatre and be transported to a much simpler time, 1929 Florida. Cigars are rolled by hand, families work the craft together, and workers are entertained by the sound of a “lector” - a reader. Can you smell the thick and sweet aroma of the Cuban cigars, yet?

Despite the minor tweaks and modern aspects of the production, this is still the same classic musical that is suitable and enjoyable for the entire family. If you want to make the experience more unique and try that old acting bug, you can purchase table seats and learn how to Waltz with Max, Liesl, and the rest of the von Trapp children.

If you are looking for a tender story that has real intellectual depth and a piece of theatre that will encourage great family discussions about the meaning of life, this is the play for you. Take your youngsters, take your elders, enjoy wholesome family theatre and learn a little bit about a female pioneer of aviation in the process.

BWW Review: The company of Austin Shakespeare brought 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' to the stage with such impeccable acting that it easily transported audiences back to the days when the Bard himself would see his words come alive at the London Globe Theatre. The show is now closed.

'A League of Her Own' invites audiences into Sam's hiding place where they spend an hour living in the nightmare that has become her life. This is an original play that explores the effects of mental abuse and harassment. The show is no longer running, but I recommend following Bottle Alley Theatre Company and Just Friends for more unique original plays.

A rendition of a classic that finally makes sense of Dr. Seuss' unique characters. Scarlata gives us a compelling story about real people with beautiful imperfections that make them so perfectly human. With a talented cast, outstanding choreography, and a lot of imagination, this is a SEUSSICAL you don't want to miss.

Rooted in a comical but tragic murder mystery and aided by a colorful set of characters and an intelligent book, ARDEN OF FAVERSHAM is a hidden gem at The Hidden Room Theatre. A classic Elizabethan comedy of errors where dark desires drive people to make wrong decisions that turn into misadventures with a tragic ending for everyone. 

BWW Review: GLIDERS Soars at Trinity Street Playhouse with a story that illustrates the unimaginable pain, courage, and strength required by generations of women to overcome misogyny and abuse. Beautifully performed by an outstanding 'mostly' female cast that fits together as a true family.

Directed by the brilliant Nat Miller and delivered with aching sensibility by Kriston Woodreaux, EVERY BRILLIANT THING is nothing but extraordinary. This heart-gripping play sparks a conversation about life, mental illness, suicide, and human connections and it gives us all a million reasons to appreciate the gift of life.

In TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS, a woman sits on a couch typing away advice to strangers she will never meet in person. The three strangers that invite themselves into her living room represent an array of characters that write anonymous letters to Dear Sugar. The play masterfully connects them all through an insightful reflection of the meaning of love, life, and happiness, rooted in personal experiences, empathy, and compassion for one another.

Under the direction of Shannon Fox, THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR SHOW is a perfect way to introduce the little ones to live theatre. Colorful puppets and delightful puppeteers team up to bring to life four of Eric Carle's most beloved stories.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES is a pure comedic indulgence. Irreverent, contemptuous, hilarious! J. Robert Moore delivers Davis Sedaris' work with impeccable artistry. A must-see this Holiday season!

Be witness to the beauty of Shakespeare's works delivered with true theatrical mastery in the heart of Austin, TX by the company of The Baron's Men
