Review: <em>Faster Than the Speed of Light</em> at Salvage Vanguard [Theatre]

Faster Than the Speed of Light is a triumph on so many levels that it's more or less fair to dismiss the fact that the show's plot is almost indiscernible.

This might not technically be theatre, but it made for some great comedy. On Saturday's show [listen], the Car Talk guys repeated the name of Austinite and Puzzler-winner Quentin Fennessy eight times in a row....

So much has been written about Rubber Repertory's US premiere of the Wallace Shawn play, A Thought in Three Parts, that you'd have to have been buried under a pile of rocks not to have heard of it. Closing this weekend at the Vortex, this naughty little show has garnered an unprecedented amount of press. So we're a bit late to the party, but we finally managed to get our butts in a seat at...

From the good folks at Hyde Park Theatre and Austin Script Works: White stuff coming out of the sky has got the best of us; we're canceling tonight's performance of FronteraFest. The five shows originally set for tonight will be rescheduled throughout the week. Here's the new schedule--get tickets at 479-PLAY (7529) or at www.hydeparktheatre.org That's right: it's time to heat up your winter nights again, with the 14th season of FronteraFest. The Short...

Spoiler alert: in this show, actors dress up like red cans and do stuff. That’s the long and the short of Rubber Repertory’s latest production with the straightforward title. For a show boldly proclaimed to the crowd as a “new breed of performance” by the guy that took our tickets (actor Lowell Bartholomee), the show is surprisingly safe (artistically speaking) – amounting to a rudimentary investigation of group dynamics, some X-Files moments, adolescent scare...

Off like a prom dress indeed. This summer, theatre in the A-burg is gonna get all raucous on yah ass. The newbies, the small, feisty, ain’t-takin’-no-shit-from-the-man performance companies du resistance are all comin’ outta the woodwork to rock your sweet casbah. With that in mind, our Austinist pick of the week is Minus Tide. It’s a co-produced effort from Bayou Radio Productions (which isn’t too dissimilar from the dirigo group) and Austin fringe heroes,...
