Daily Arts - The Austin Chronicle

Guy Branum’s new TruTV show, Talk Show the Game Show, previewed with a live version in Esther’s Follies Saturday night.

In Memoriam: Ishmael Soto

Throughout his 60-year career, art was more than a means of self-expression for Ishmael Soto. It was a connection to culture and community, it was a craft to share with students, it was family.

Then I’ll bike around before dawn and deliver them by hand, usually leaving them on front doors. For subscribers out of town, I mail the dreams every day.”

The Improvised Play Festival Isn’t on Fire Downtown

On fire or not, we’ve already got a listing for the thing, of course. Because this is The Austin Chronicle and we’ve already got a listing for almost all the things, don’t we? (Weary but joyful answer: Yes.)But we just had to ask the Hideout’s Roy Janik a question.
