• Posted Preview and Giveaway: Queenie Pie at the Butler Opera Center to Austinist
  Queenie Pie, a remarkable musical theater-jazz-opera combination, will be produced here in town by Austin's very own Butler School of Music, Butler Opera Center and Huston-Tillotson University, so this ain't no out of town roadshow, though the play promises to be out of this world. Renowned jazz vocalist Carmen Bradford stars in the show.
• Posted Review: My Child, My Child, My Alien Child at Hyde Park Theatre to Austinist
  My Child, My Child, My Alien Child is a blend of sketch, slam and stand-up that will have parents and singletons alike reaching for tissues. Zell Miller III's unique storytelling blend only runs for three weeks at the Hyde Park Theatre: we insist you not miss it.
• Posted Austinist Indieroke This Drunkerday, er, Saturday! to Austinist
  Somebody, at some point, noted that talking about music is like dancing about architecture, and writing about karaoke is just as preposterous. When it's good, karaoke is sublime, awe-inducing, indescribable. And Austinist Indieroke, wherein you're invited to sing songs you're not embarrassed to have on your playlist--we're thinking some Zep, some Death Cab, maybe Smiths?--is always good.
• Posted Preview: See.Hear.Speak.4 at Coldtowne Theater to Austinist
  Coldtowne founder and comedy showman Chris Trew told Austinist that See.Hear.Speak.4 is a "movement," and he's brought in friends from across the country to make sure the movement-ing is as movementous as possible. Tonight, L.A.'s Brock Laborde of Studio8 fame will join Trew in a send-up of a certain ubiquitous fast-food restaurant chain, while Austin's own Chuck Watkins brings his wacky, playful wit to the stage.
• Posted Review: Miss Witherspoon at City Theatre to Austinist
  The wonderfully surly, oft-suicidal Miss Witherspoon herself is played by Jennifer Underwood, who never fails to disappoint. When Miss Witherspoon finds herself (as a result of offing herself) in an unexpected afterlife, she must negotiate the realm of reincarnation with the help of Suzanne Balling's pleasantly annoying South Asian spiritual guide Maryamma and a diverse cast of earthly families and friends played by Camille Latour, Patricia Robinson and Derek Jones, all of whom handle their multitude of roles with ease.
