Ruby Rae Spiegel's intense drama, set almost entirely in the girls' locker room of a Florida high school, explores "the complexities of female friendship, abortion, adolescents in crisis, and the terrifying process of becoming yourself." Directed by Marian Kansas for Permanent Record. Note: Nudity and graphic content. And here's what our reviewer thought of the show.

Catherine Deneuve: Deneuve stars as the matriarch of this family, whose holiday gathering is like some marvelous do-si-do in which the characters partake in endless swirls of accusations, confessions, and glimpses of grace.

A future-shock story that brims with gusto and ambiguity, the film feels more like a documentary today than a dystopian parable. A panel discussion forum, in partnership with The Spiritual Transformation Project, follows the screening.

A$AP Mob-approved Philly dance-hop.

We could probably just mention that this exhibition (featuring a quintet of assemblage artists) contains work by Steve Brudniak and watch the smarter crowds gather for some deep gawking … but we wouldn't want to diss the talented likes of Barbara Irwin, John Sager, Larry Seaman, and Steve Wiman – whose complex three-dimensional creations are also well worthy of your time.

Texas Spotlight: Girl leaves boy, but boy (and his friends) try and win her back in this follow-up to local filmmaker Elrod's The Man From Orlando. This Austin premiere will have a Q&A after the 7:30pm screening.

The men and women host the UT Diving Invite:

The WWE invades Cedar Park with topnotch talent: Drew McIntyre, Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Adam Cole, and many more.

The Junior League of Austin gathers 200 vendors in a "shopping extravaganza" of parties, kids' events, shopping brunch, and a special appearance from Santa.

Naomi Iizuka’s play about a refugee and his travels across the American landscape, bringing him face-to-face with an array of strange and glorious characters, is directed by Michelle Polgar for St. Edward's Theatre Department. This fiercely relevant adaptation of Homer's Odyssey features guest performers Patrick Gathron, Carla Nickerson, and Josean Rodriguez among a fine St. Ed's cast. And here's what our reviewer thought of the show.

That excellent gallery in Canopy presents a group exhibit featuring work by Texas artists who are inspired by any of the natural sciences as a majority of their current artistic practice. Which, lucky for the viewer, means that the talents represented include Laurie Frick, Jules Buck Jones, Calder Kamin, Cathy Savage, David Martínez, and more. Quant suff! Recommended!

Bizet’s classic tells the tale of one of the most dynamic characters in the operatic canon and is spiced with some of its most beloved music, including the “Toreador Song” and the “Habanera.” Mezzo-soprano Sandra Piques Eddy and tenor Chad Shelton star in this new version that's set in the Seventies.

The Blanton's got a fine exhibition about the "danse macabre" up in its Paper Vault, so for this latest Beat the Rush concert, the estimable Brent Baldwin (of Panoramic Voices fame) presents The Normans performing the music of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets. The dead bell? The dead bell. Somebody's done for.

Big Medium presents the inaugural Tito's Prize exhibition, featuring winner Zack Ingram.
