In Memoriam: George Wilkerson

If you had the good fortune to be at Esther's Follies in its early years – and that's asking a lot since we're talking 40 years ago – then much of the chuckling, chortling, and guffawing you did was thanks to George Wilkerson. He wrote 100 sketches for the group back then – many of which kept being revived because they were so expertly crafted at provoking laughs.

In Memoriam: Greg Easley

The dance scene in Austin didn’t begin in the Seventies, but you could say it took its first grand jetés then, and right there for those first leaps was Greg Easley, who went on to dance, choreograph, teach dancers, lead an acclaimed company, and preserve the legacy of those transformational years for local dance. Now, Easley is part of that legacy.
