    The Amazing Acro-Cats Astound Austin!

    Samantha Martin's touring feline (mostly) menagerie returns with all its adorable tricks and triumphs – domesticated house cats roll on balls, ride skateboards, jump through hoops, and more – featuring a set by that live band of vivacious varmints called Tuna and the Rock Cats. As seen on Animal Planet and Adult Swim and all, yes. Y'know, a few years ago, we sent that John Merriman to check out the show, and here's what he had to say about it.
    Tue.-Thu., Feb. 5-7, 7pm. $27-41.

    FronteraFest: Short Fringe

    One of Austin’s longest-running festivals, a legendary vehicle for theatre artists, actors, musicians, poets, and performers of all types, FronteraFest returns for its 26th year of showcasing some of the wildest – occasionally brilliant, frequently delightful, and almost always original – entertainment you're likely to see. It's a collaboration between that professional thespian powerhouse called Hyde Park Theatre and ScriptWorks and anyone who's got what it takes to put their act on a stage. The Short Fringe showcases performances of 25 minutes or less, and runs the entirety of the festival. Here's the main thing to know about the Short Fringe, in case you're not familiar with the whole FronteraFest deal, yo: The weeknight shows are a mixed bag but usually crowded with folks there to see friends do their stuff onstage; each Saturday "Best-of-the-Week" show is sure to be worth your time, but it sells out fast, so plan accordingly; the final week, the "Best-of-the-Fest" week, which is always the primo live-performance shit in town and is already completely sold out – we warned you about this, like, weeks ago, right? – except for the wild-card Staff Picks night on Thu., Feb. 14, 8pm, which has a few tickets still available.
    Through Feb 16. Tue.-Sat., 8pm.
