Reviews
“‘Luchadora’ directed with clarity and energy by Anna Skidis Vargas, is as heartwarming and gently perceptive as it is empowering. Skidis Vargas ensures the performances and story line avoid treacle, keeping the many threads moving by letting the characters shine.” - Tina Farmer, KDHX on Luchadora!
“…I can't stop thinking about the show -- and that's the hallmark of an interesting production… It's a daring choice, and I think it works because it forces us in the audience to engage with this play on our own terms… It is ambitious, and the theater company (which is brand-new, according to its Facebook page) offers very good performances.” - Paul Friswold, Riverfront Times on This is Not Funny
“Them's the facts, but the facts tell little about the power and seductiveness of this production, directed by Anna Skidis Vargas, and its young ensemble.
UT's Spring Awakening powerfully blends the old and new, petticoats and punk, wrought iron and flashing projections. Sater's poetry illuminates Wedekind's plot and, thanks to an apt and nubile cast, enraptures. I highly suggest letting this production bruise you; let it be your bruise. Remember once again what it's like to be ignorant and innocent and hopeful and alone.” - Laura Jones, Austin Chronicle on Spring Awakening.
