    Bullock Texas State History Museum: This Light of Ours

    This show features images by activist photographers of the Civil Rights Movement, telling a visual story of the struggle against segregation, race-based disenfranchisement, and Jim Crow laws in the 1960s. These photos capture the day-to-day struggles of everyday citizens and their resolve in the face of violence and institutionalized discrimination – with more than a dozen additional images representing activism and protest in Austin's own history.

    Virtual ZACH: Every Brilliant Thing

    "This production of Duncan Macmillan's solo show gives audiences a reason to live. Make that a million reasons." So says the Chronicle's Robert Faires in his review right here. Faires got to see the performance live onstage, yes, before this pandemic shut everything down; but now you can also witness the show's power and joy streaming digitally from ZACH's Whisenhunt Theatre, with Kriston Woodreaux bringing you so many reminders of what's still good in this world.
