Starting tonight, Zilker Theatre Productions is putting on Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun at the Zilker Hillside Theater. This is the 47th production in their annual Zilker Summer Musical series, which happens to be the longest running outdoor production of its type in the country. And from the looks of it, they go all out with this FREE production - intricate set designs, elaborate Western costumes, a huge cast and well-choreographed musical numbers. They'll be performing Thursday-Sundays at 8pm until August 13. On rainy days, performances will still go on if the rain stops by 6pm.

Last weekend the Zilker Hillside Theatre hosted Ballet Under the Stars, a free evening ballet performance by the Austin Dance Ensemble.
