Noises Off: Austin Playhouse stages this chaotic, ridiculous backstage farce with precision and fun
"It is chaotic and ridiculous, and its characters run about in a state of hysteria for most of the show, which requires careful choreography and actors with excellent timing.

Austin Playhouse Stages Riotous Comedy NOISES OFF
"There is an old adage in the theater: "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." Comedy is certainly harder when the material is Noises Off, the ridiculously funny farce by Michael Frayn which was named "One of the Funniest comedies ever written" by the New York Post. Still, if the cast and crew at the Austin Playhouse had any difficulty with the neo-classic comedy, it certainly doesn't show. Their polished production is uproariously funny with each moment better than the last." [Read more...]

Solid Cast Deserves More Than Stale Script of DESERT CITIES
"Rick Roemer is wonderful, loving, and charming, but he really comes alive in that aforementioned final act twist. And it is Babs George as Brooke's mother, Polly, who is the most memorable. George plays the stubborn, bigoted, and egocentric Polly to perfection. [Read more...]
