    Anton Chekhov Is a Tasty Snack

    Art imitates life, which then imitates art. Such is the story of Round Rock theatre Penfold’s latest production, commissioned from Austin-based playwright Jenny Connell Davis. With a script that riffs on the titular tasty snack’s The Seagull, this romp playfully punctures theatre work by following a small Texas company attempting the most impressive production of Chekhov’s first major play. Expect ego, passion, and complete chaos – not totally unlike the original play’s 1896 opening night, where the lead actress was so alarmed by audience animosity she lost her voice. – James Scott

    Different Stages: For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again

    Mother’s Day might have made some folks sentimental. Did you reflect on what you’ve inherited from your mother? The sacrifices she made and the support she gave? Keep that ruminative mood going with Different Stages, as they present a classic mother/son dynamic in Quebecois king Michel Tremblay’s For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again. Tremblay’s mother was apparently a force to be reckoned with. She shared her creativity and love for literature with him, but died before he gained writing success. Pleasure explores their history and relationship while paying homage to an indomitable, inspirational woman. – Cat McCarrey

    Fat Ham

    The hot question on everybody’s minds during Shakespeare class… is Horatio invited to the cookout? Finally, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fat Ham provides some sort of answer. Instead of Hamlet, we have Juicy: He’s Black, queer, and trying to cope with his mother’s recent remarriage. When the ghost of Juicy’s father intrudes to beg for revenge, a modern retelling of Hamlet takes off with love, fourth-wall breaks, and the gentle disruption of generational trauma cycles. How would Hamlet’s life be different if he just went to therapy? Fat Ham dares to venture into those unknowns. – Cat McCarrey

    Grand Hotel: The Musical

    Alchemy Theatre continues their quest to present shows away from the beaten path. They’re keeping musical history alive with restagings of past pieces that may be gone but will not be forgotten. Grand Hotel is the latest in that journey, an extravaganza packed wall-to-wall (and room-to-room) with showstopping numbers. (Seriously, if nothing else, please head over to YouTube to watch Michael Jeter – aka Sesame Street’s Mister Noodle – earn his well-deserved Tony.) Set in 1928 Berlin, Grand Hotel balances joyful music with bitter truths, letting the audience snoop into the lives of the hotel’s sometimes-nefarious guests, whose secrets reveal themselves over the course of their stay. So check in to check out what lurks in such luxurious lodgings. – Cat McCarrey

    Rear Window (1954)

    Look, Vertigo and Rear Window are two queens who shouldn’t be pitted against each other, but if I’m forced to choose a movie to watch where Jimmy Stewart ignores the advances of a beautiful woman who wants nothing more than to wed his disagreeable ass – well, let’s just say I’m looking out the dang window! A classic of the voyeurism-gone-wild genre that Alfred Hitchcock practically created, this thriller sits Stewart in a wheelchair with only his long-lens camera, through which he witnesses a murder in the apartment across the street. Its tale of madness brewed in isolation might truly ring clearer today than it did in its initial run. – James Scott

    Waitress

    Ever been to a musical and got a little peckish before intermission? Well, Waitress has a solution: Onstage seats in this ZACH360 production get served real slices of pie during the show. For everyone else, there’s still the heart-touching drama of this adaptation of the 2007 film of the same name, complete with the Tony- and Grammy-nominated score from Sara Bareilles. Leslie McDonel, who recently scored an Austin Theatre Critics Award nomination for breathing life into the story of Carole King in Zach’s 2024 production of Beautiful, steps into the role of Jenna, a waitress and baker in a town that may be too small for her big dreams. – Richard Whittaker
