“Bad Things” is thoughtful as a concept—a ruminant queer and female-forward reinvention of a familiar tale. – Payton Robinson/rogerebert.com

Or, What She Will at The Hangar
"Austin Jones has the joy and misery of playing both the randy but regal Charles I and the feckless traitor William Scott. He’s wildly amusing at every moment, most especially as the overstuffed, overbearing Duke’s Company manager Lady Davenant in one long, breathless speech––a comical tour de force."

Ironbound
at The Kitchen Theatre
"Darjya’s relationship with current boyfriend Tommy is the heart of the show, and Austin Jones brings him to roaring, boisterous New Jersey life, underlying his bluster with a lack of cynicism, which makes him a very lively suitor."

Hamlet
at Classic Stage Company
“Director Austin Pendleton’s HAMLET is A FASCINATING REVISION. It views the drama not through the eyes of Hamlet but from the perspective of those around him.”

PAST REVIEWS
Spring Awakening
at Prospect Theatre
"...Truth to tell, the fact that Austin Jones as Melchior, Bridget Flanery as Wendla, and Blake Hackler as Moritz appear to be at least in their late twenties is, initially, a distraction; but the greatest praise I can give the PTC production is that this becomes a non-issue by the third or fourth scene of the play, so excellent are the performances. Together and separately, Jones and Flanery have some very tricky scenes, but they handle them with aplomb.”"
