'Witch' at Hyde Park Theatre is a comedy, for the most part Witch is currently running at Hyde Park Theatre. Director Ken Webster says it's 'funny and sad and scary.'

Review: WITCH at HYDE PARK THEATRE Hyde Park’s production of WITCH is sharp, funny, and quietly ferocious. A Devil with a grin, a witch that questions the status quo, a town built on bargains, and ambition that bites back. You’ll leave...

A WITCH THAT QUESTIONS THE STATUS QUO, come on! you want to see this! www.broadwayworld.com/austin/artic...

There are tix left for APPREHENSION, Austin, but most of the previous shows have sold out, so don't delay! A paranoid psychological thriller about a man tormented by memory lapses and gnawing doubts about his own past, it's by turns spooky, funny, and unsettling. Great reviews --

Austin come see some weird spooky theater! APPREHENSION is getting great reviews. Through Nov 1!

Opening Thursday at HPT: APPREHENSION, by LB Deyo. "Man struggles to determine whether he's uncovering a horrific truth or falling prey to delusion," eeeeeek. Terrific actors & director, I myself cannot wait. www.apprehensionplay.com

"There's plenty of laughter and quite a lot of self-dismissive clowning in her piece. You have no idea of what'll come up next. At key moments she drops into rapid-fire verse; she often bounds up on the set pieces with energetic grace; her version of the Māori haka war dance is at once comic and a bit frightening. Sims gives our empathy a workout."

3/3 and this one! ATX my friend, miss this show at your own peril (peril of missing a really extraordinary piece) ctxlivetheatre.com/reviews/2025...

"Her show brims with such moments: unfiltered, unremorseful, absurd, and devastating. Yet through the wild antics, we see a woman ready at last to face herself, ready to learn what it means—messy, complicated, triumphant—to “human.”"

. . . and this one 2/3: sunnewsaustin.com/2025/09/27/l...

"Some nights at the theater hit like a freight train. Learning to Human is one of those nights. Written and performed by Sims Holland and directed and produced by David McCusker, this searing, soul-baring one-woman play is part confession, part poetry slam, part stand-up set, and completely unforgettable."

Attention Austin! LEARNING TO HUMAN closes tomorrow just as it gets the EPIC reviews it deserves 1/3 : www.broadwayworld.com/austin/artic...
