A Texas “Hit”

January 16, 2020 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

The 2013 play by C. Denby Swansen, The Norwegians, has arrived but not in Austin. Should you care? In a word, yes. If you want to laugh pretty much non-stop for 90 minutes, this is […]

Christmas in Tinsel, Texas

December 20, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

What could be more appropriate than a play entitled Dashing Through The Snow just before Christmas? The title is the only appropriate thing about Dashing Through The Snow. Inappropriate is the order of the day […]

Show People

August 11, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

Show People is a rather vague play about 4 nutty people coming together to act in a ‘Grand Charade’. The driving force is Tom, who hires a couple to portray his parents in a weekend […]

SPACE TREK

August 11, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

Ann Richards: The Play

August 4, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

An Edwardian Fairytale of the Cosmos

July 28, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

A play about astronomy does not at first blush capture the imagination, perhaps because most people associate astronomy with mathematics. Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson breaks free of these inhibitions, focusing on the real-life struggles […]

Old Western Melodrama

July 27, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

When a melodrama opens with a marriage proposal, you know there will be dangerous shoals to navigate before it’s all over. In the case of Wake Up Napsville, the danger comes from a dynamite-throwing bad […]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

July 23, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has a long pedigree. The 1964 film Bedtime Story was remade in 1988 as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine. The stage musical, which is now being performed at […]

The Lost Highway of Hank Williams Sr.

July 20, 2019 Dr. Cliff Cunningham 0

I have never been a fan of tribute concerts, mostly because I have seen nearly all of the original performers who are the inspiration for such things. Why pay to see someone impersonate Ella Fitzgerald, […]
