Elementary, My Dear Dramatist

History may have denied us the opportunity to see what William Shakespeare was writing in the third grade – the definitive drama about robot zombies, perhaps? – but not so the budding bards in Austin's elementary schools. Several of them will have their tales performed on the stage of the Paramount Theatre tonight at 7pm, thanks to the Story Wranglers.

Hitch Renewed

I was apprehensive about writing a piece remembering author Christopher Hitchens, who passed away on Dec. 15, 2011 from complications of esophageal cancer.

Organ Transplant

For three decades, no organ music has been heard in Rainey Hall, the original home of the University of Texas' School of Music. But that changes tonight when a fully restored Aeolian-Skinner organ is dedicated in a concert of holiday music with faculty members Judith Hancock and Scott Davis at the keyboards.

Experimental Cinema Stakes a Claim on Austin's Art Map

The Experimental Response Cinema (ERCATX) was launched last February with the sole objective of bringing a steady diet of experimental film to Austin. It has lit a spark of sorts in the film community since then.
