This Week in Theatre: Phallic Phun!

In this season of family-friendly fare, we're pleased to highlight a bit of naughty-naughty for your holiday pleasure. Admittedly it's something of an intellectually flavored naughty-naughty, but hey, that's how we like it.

Rude Mechanicals' current show The Method Gun contains nudity! Whee! Nude Rudes!! Which ones will it be? You also get "guns, rope bridges, zip lines and physical danger" in this exploration of (fictional character) Stella Burden's acting technique, "The Approach." Closing this weekend, you have only three chances left to catch this one.

We've mentioned The Dick Monologues before, but now we're thrilled to tell you that if you're quick, you can perhaps sneak in to this constantly-sold-out show. Though tickets for the monthly Wednesday night performance have long been snatched up, Spike and company have added a Sunday matinee. Reservations via email, probably for only a very short while longer.

There's plenty more to be had on Austin's stages. Check this week's Ist List for show times and Editor Picks.
