With 25 local artists, makers, and vendors, this shopping spree will take over the parking lot across the street from their brick-and-mortar featuring vintage and reuse items.

    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

    AJW Youth Jam at Central Market

    Here in the Live Music Capital of the World, there should be no shortage of opportunities for kids to develop their tuneful talents and pursue rockstar dreams.

Thanks to a financial boost from the city’s Cultural Arts Division, jams are scheduled through August: first Sundays at Batch, last Sundays at Central Market South, both at noon. – Kat McNevins
