East Austin Studio Tour: The Eureka Room

Sometimes you order 7,000 LEDs – you know, light-emitting-diodes – from China, and the company fucks up. But the company fucks up in your favor, because they double the order and send you 14,000 LEDs instead. Whatcha gonna do?

Review: Until the Flood

There is a serenity to the space, with its dozens of glowing candles, flowers, and stuffed animals ringing the raised stage. It’s clearly a memorial to someone gone, the kind that springs up for victims of tragedy, those who have been killed unexpectedly, unjustly, and since we’ve seen so many of these – too many – we sense the sorrow surrounding it.

2018 B. Iden Payne Award Winners

In all the drama of Election Day, some of the drama of the day before was a bit overlooked – that would be the drama of the B. Iden Payne Theatre Awards. The 44th annual awards ceremony was held at the Austin Scottish Rite Theater Monday, and more than 30 shows from the 2017-18 season received awards, with three of them earning four awards apiece.

Macbeth's Myriad of Misfortunes

Having two separate productions of Macbeth running in Austin this week called to mind a similar instance in October of 2000. Then, the Chronicle ran not only a feature on the play but also one on the curse said to surround the play. As the article on the curse still draws thousands of readers 18 years later, this seemed an ideal time to update it.

Joel Hodgson on MST30K

It was supposed to be just another public access show. But Mystery Science Theater 3000 was different, and it soon rocketed from local TV to national success on cable, film, DVDs, in live shows, and now streaming: A crowdfunded revival on Netflix proved a hit in 2017, so a new season is set to drop on Thanksgiving, 30 years after the first broadcast.

The Best of John Rabon Is on Its Way

This Thursday, the Chronicle’s annual “Best of Austin” issue drops. “Drops,” they say. Like it’s a bass note depth-charging something by Skrillex, or, uh, Flux Pavillion or whatever. Like it’s a testicle in the body of some baby boy – especially, gravity being what it is, if it’s a bouncing baby boy.
