Theatre News Bits

We've heard rumors that a soon-to-open performance venue won't be such a swell place to work for the folks behind the scenes. Scant room backstage, an eensy fly space, and a tricky loading dock with an 8' door aren't exactly the makings of a stagehand's dream job. Union, anyone?

You've probably already heard that Hannah Montana tickets sold out in 55 minutes, and you might've even seen the story about the poor guy who got cellphone-bombed by crazed Miley Cyrus fans, but did you know that eBay has +100 auctions for tickets, some going for more than 3x their face value (for example, $770-$820 for four seats)?

To balance out the good and evil in the world, Ballet Austin's entire run of The Nutcracker also sold out. Awesome!

    What? Next you're going to tell me that said soon-to-open performance venue isn't going to showcase up and coming performance groups around town like they promised.

    :p
