c/o the grove

In c / o the grove, director J. Ed Araiza has moved Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard to modern Central Texas, where pecans take the part of cherry trees and pop culture references abound, not always to the play's benefit, but the strong storytelling and focused performances of the young cast make this another success in big, collaborative, ensemble theatre for the St. Edward's University theatre department.

"...that might save her homestead from the auction block. Gabriel Luna's Villa -- the made-good Latino who grew up..."

Romeo and Juliet

St. Edward's University's lavish production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is, for the most part, an enjoyable, educational -- albeit long -- night of romance and comedic and dramatic irony, with some intense swashbuckling.

The Kentucky Cycle

The Mary Moody Northen Theatre's decision to stage Robert Schenkkan's monumental The Kentucky Cycle is laudable, and the St. Edward's University student actors and their Equity counterparts put their all into every moment of effort, but the production's nuggets of brilliance are lost in technical inadequacies, inconsistent acting, and awkward staging.
