Recent
September 2025: The Wonderful Wizard of… Autin! Raphe starred as Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz at ZACH Theater. BroadwayWorld Austin’s Sabrina Wallace writes,
“Dorothy’s companions are cast with uncanny precision, blurring the line between actor and archetype. Their physicality, from every slouch to every creak or roar, feels so real it erases the boundary between human and character. Raphe Gilliam’s Scarecrow is loose-limbed and rubbery, folding himself into impossible shapes and creating the illusion of straw barely holding together.”
