Seared is an amazing showcase for some of Austin's top acting talents, tackling difficult questions in painfully authentic ways, with some top notch production design and direction and elements you won't see in any other show.
Dirty Gold’s ‘Insomnia Cafe’ is a darkly funny examination of the darker sides of Nostalgia and Obsession
With their latest production, Dirty Gold shows us what happens when obsession goes a step too far in Insomnia Cafe, a deeply uncomfortable, yet darkly funny, tale of two Friends-obsessed young people whose love for their favorite TV show leads them down dark paths.
‘Take Care of My Friend’ is a touching, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny look into life with mental health issues
Raw, unflinching, and bone deep, Take Care of my Friend is a powerful, brave work...The balance between somberness and humor is a remarkable achievement, as Fletcher adds brightness to long stretches of darkness to remind us all that no matter how shadowy the path we walk may be, there is always light to be found.
Powerful performances highlight Hyde Park’s pristine production of Pinter’s ‘Betrayal’
Betrayal is an intense piece of emotional intrigue where the clever minimalist set merges with the smart, subtle, but potent performances from its cast to create a stunning dance of romance, deception, and, indeed, betrayal.
‘Unbury Your Gays’ is a poignant, all-too-relevant look at queer longing (with a fantasy twist)
Unbury Your Gays is both a joy and a heartbreak to watch. It captures the sense of awkward, freewheeling whimsy of teen-hood, while also exploring the specific loneliness of queer desire. The honesty and nuance of these performances are really something to behold, all held up by a script and production team that make numerous smart choices to create a breathtaking world. It's the perfect way to greet this year's Pride Month, and a fine feather in the cap of one of Austin's most promising up-and-coming companies.
