Ann

This is an intimate portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary late governor of Texas, bringing audiences face to face with a complex, colorful, and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. Written (and originally performed) by Holland Taylor, Ann takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends, and family. The lady's played by the talented Libby Villari in this show, directed by the original Broadway helmsman, Benjamin Endsley Klein. And now, here's our review of the show.

Through Sept. 8. Wed.-Fri., 7:30pm; Sat., 2:30 & 7:30pm; Sun., 2:30pm. $25-85.

Dance Nation

Here's the regional premiere of Clare Barron's Pulitzer Prize finalist, in which an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. "If their new routing is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at the Boogie Down Grand Prix in Tampa Bay … but, in Clare Barron’s raucous pageant of ambition and ferocity, these young dancers have more than choreography on their minds, because every plié and jeté is a step toward finding themselves, and a fight to unleash their power." Directed by Jenny Lavery for Theatre En Bloc. And you can see our review right here.

Through Sept. 15. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $15-35.
