"The Alchemy Theatre’s magic is potent, both because of its powerful ingredients and because it’s been brewing for a long time."

"From the outset director Michael Cooper's production feels deeply personal. It’s the experience of showing up to a stranger’s door and having them welcome you inside like you’re an old friend."

"The second act’s haunting soldier’s dirge, “Going Home Tomorrow,” is enough to make you weep with the sudden turn toward realities of war delivered in crystalline melodies. Accompanied with aplomb by a solo piano, played onstage by musical director Ellie Jarrett Shattles, this lovely musical experience will surprise and delight even the most dedicated show tunes aficionado."

"Austin's own Alchemy Theatre continues to do its part to take on challenging drama with virtual political significance. While it would certainly be easier to fall back on feel-good performances especially during such trying times, the company persists on producing daring theater which sparks not only joy, but heartfelt conversation."

“Each actor delivers a remarkable performance that demands attention.”

"An image comes to mind for the musical theatre piece Mack and Mabel...a black pearl, infinitely rare, darkly lustrous, almost never seen."

"Frost Bites, a cabaret-style homage to the Christmas holidays, is better than tonic water with orange juice. Maybe even better than eggnogg."

"[Mack & Mabel] was nearly perfect."

"Michael Cooper’s marvelous direction perfectly captures the language of the original story. Tickets will be gone in a flash. Book your seats for this timeless classic while you can."

"…each moment of (Tracy) Lett’s extraordinary text is lovingly and carefully explored.. …memorable performances from every artist. ...Mesmerizing….I strongly suspect you will be hearing a great deal more about The Alchemy Theatre."

"Babs George’s performance as Gladys (in The Waverly Gallery) anchors both emotional strength and fear. It is a difficult balance to strike, and the actor does so with a power and grace that forms the show’s backbone."

"I highly recommend the Alchemy Theatre’s production of The Waverly Gallery"
