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.
Ground Floor’s ‘I Wanna Be a F*cking Princess’ is a humorous, harrowing, but heartfelt, ode to womanhood
I Wanna Be a F*cking Princess is a profound examination of what it means to be a woman in today's society, full of earnest and heartfelt performances from an exquisitely chosen cast of some of Austin's best actresses.
Broadway in Austin’s ‘Clue’ is an over-the-top, laugh-a-minute evening of farce
Clue plays all of its actions to their very back rows, with exaggerated performances that take the essence of their game and film counterparts, and ratchets the camp knob up until its liable to break...It won't be a play for everyone, to be sure, but for those that don't a mind a quick slice of over-the-top humor, you could do far, far worse.
‘A Million More to Go’ is a dark, droll, if uneven slice of twisted political satire
Despite its faults, A Million More to Go is a solid piece of absurdist political satire, with a stellar ensemble, often riotous dialogue, and intriguing world-building. It's also a great opportunity to support original work by a local playwright, something that can be hard to come by in this city. Jarrott Productions continues to bring unique works to the Austin stage, and this is another feather in the cap for the company, and may just act as a calling card for its associate company Cinnamon Path as well.
Heart and Humor meet in Hyde Park’s celebration of community in ‘My HEB’
My HEB is a surprisingly heartfelt piece, both love letter and roast of the chain and the people who frequent it, but it's above all a celebration of those rare spaces that bring Texans of all races, genders, sexualities, and experiences together to form one community.
