Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience
Thursday, Jun 7 - Sunday, Jun 17 at Brentwood Christian School Performing Arts Center

The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin presents its Summer Grand Production of Patience - on stage June 7th thru 17th. Patience is one of the most lyrical and laugh-filled of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas. It satirizes the "aesthetic craze" of the Victorian era when the output of poets, composers, painters and designers of all kinds was indeed prolific but whose followers and admirers, some argued, were empty and self-indulgent. Patience has wit, charm, poetry, and a delightfully complicated love triangle. Beautiful music, memorable characters, and colorful costumes and sets will captivate all ages.

The Society is thrilled that this production will be the first to appear on stage at the new Brentwood Christian School Performing Arts Center, 11908 N. Lamar. For advance tickets and more information visit www.gilbertsullivan.org.

The Intergalactic Nemesis: Book Two: Robot Planet Rising
Friday, Jun 8 at Long Center for the Performing Arts

Same format. New story. No previous Intergalactic experience necessary.

The year is 1933. When the robot emissary Elbee-Dee-Oh disappears in deep space, it's up to Molly Sloan to rescue him. If only it were that simple. Because at that same time, and unbeknownst to her, her former fiance Dr. Lawrence Webster has miraculously arrived on Robonovia, the Cerebretron is malfunctioning, Timmy has only just begun to master his telekinetic powers, a sinister robot named Alphatron is up to something terribly nefarious, and the duplicitous Soviet spy Natasha Zorokov has followed Dr. Webster through the Galactascope. Will it all get sorted out? Or is there another, more evil, thread to this complex tapestry? There's only one way to find out! Buy tickets now! Tickets and more info available online.
