      Queer Field Day

      Stretch those gay little legs out with all yer LGBTQ pals and allies. Queer groups Local Queer ATX, Austin Queer Connection, and Queer Friends ATX host a field day for all: No need to be a total sporto, either, as they promise only “silly field day games” to keep the winter worries at bay without needing a Ph.D. in athleticism. Early arrival is recommended to make splitting into teams easier and – a little rec from me to you – bring a biiiiig water bottle. You can rarely be too hydrated. - James Scott

      The Diviners

      Directed by Milton Zoth, the Austin Repertory Theater’s production of The Diviners features the unique experience of professional actors cast alongside high schoolers, thus allowing for students to learn from theatre industry practitioners. The play, written by Jim Leonard Jr. and first performed in 1980, takes place in the fictional town of Zion, Indiana, during the Great Depression, and as ART puts it, tells “a story of redemption between an anguished young man and a disenchanted southern preacher.” - Lina Fisher

      Cool Day

      A two-person exhibition centered on early Aughts-style internet collage opened Jan. 13 and can be seen Fridays and Saturdays through early February. Mia Scarpa’s mixed-media paintings conjure the edge of 2000s chatrooms and 3D-rendered JPEGs, while Grace Horan’s playful sculptures reference childhood friendships and I Spy books. The gallery press release teases, “Their images and objects evoke an ethos of collecting that animates everything from official archives to family photo albums to online image boards. The result of such an experience is a schizophrenic reading of images that hardly make sense together – except in the fact that they do.”– Lina Fisher
