Cavite
This rocketing thriller that pits an unseen Filipino terrorist against an unwitting Filipino-American dupe is one of the purest examples of no-budget, seat-of-the-pants, gloriously DIY filmmaking since The Blair Witch Project.

With 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,' directors Ginger Morris and Robin Lewis and a wealth of local musical talent have created something truly special: the best Zilker Summer Musical in the past 10 years
Shirley Valentine
Only one woman in Austin could play Shirley Valentine with the charismatic hold of a storyteller, and that would be Bernadette Nason, who stars in Onstage Theatre Company's production
'Tape & Float: Kurt Mueller and Rebecca Ward'
With its second exhibit, The Donkey Show moves away from the spectacular toward something a little closer to home, or at least to Home Depot: Rebecca Ward works with masking tape, and Kurt Mueller's supplies are straight from the paint aisles
