Review: SUNNY DAYS at The VORTEX Theatre
by Victoria Schwarz - Sep 13, 2024
The VORTEX Theatre, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, Save Our Springs Alliance, Six Square-Austin’s Black Cultural District, the City of Austin Economic Development Department, and the Texas Commission on the Arts, presents the world premier of Reina Hardy’s SUNNY DAYS on their “Eloise' Stage this fall. A powerful new work, combined with impressive acting and direction, this play tackles issues of human rights and climate crisis while incorporating multiple forms of puppetry (traditional Muppet-type puppets, sock puppets, shadow puppets, paper puppets, and a GarBarge made of trash). The play's approach encourages audiences to reflect deeply on the fragility of hope and the pervasive nature of global challenges.
