    Craft at the Umlauf: Paper Filigree With Michael Velliquette

    Michael Velliquette’s intricate paper reliefs and sculptures manage to feel futuristic and deeply historical, the perfect mix of anthropological symbology with mechanical visuals. The delicate details seem far too complex to be merely paper, but that’s part of the beauty of Velliquette’s work. Celebrate the opening of his exhibit at the Umlauf with a lesson from the paper art master himself. Velliquette will guide participants through the process of paper manipulation, leaving them to take home a creative mandala of their very own. Get those creative juices flowing, fueled by craft cocktails, mocktails, and exploration through layers of paper filigree. – Cat McCarrey

    Killer of Sheep (1977)

    With the recent release of his missing romance, The Annihilation of Fish, and two films in pre-production, veteran filmmaker Charles Burnett is undergoing something of a revival. A major element of that newfound popularity is the recent restoration by Criterion of his debut, 1978’s Killer of Sheep. Restored, and finally with the tangle of music rights cleared, catch this masterpiece of 1970s Black cinema as it brings Italian Neorealist techniques to the streets of Burnett’s adopted home of Watts. – Richard Whittaker

    Squirrel Flower, Free Range, Lefty Parker

    I once cried my eyes out to a Squirrel Flower record on the floor of my childhood bedroom. Planet (i), the LP responsible, combines heart-scarred folk lyrics with sticky guitar reverb, creating a noise present in a drive down the interstate with the volume all the way up. Without the proper word count to adequately describe it, the most I’ll spoil for potential concertgoers is that, whether it’s Ella Williams’ sweltering melodies or the lines of indie-folk opener Free Range, each song tugs at something primordial inside each of us. It’s best to let the overfeeling happen at Hole in the Wall rather than on your teenage-stained carpet, mascara running. – Levi Langley

    Waitress

    Ever been to a musical and got a little peckish before intermission? Well, Waitress has a solution: Onstage seats in this ZACH360 production get served real slices of pie during the show. For everyone else, there’s still the heart-touching drama of this adaptation of the 2007 film of the same name, complete with the Tony- and Grammy-nominated score from Sara Bareilles. Leslie McDonel, who recently scored an Austin Theatre Critics Award nomination for breathing life into the story of Carole King in Zach’s 2024 production of Beautiful, steps into the role of Jenna, a waitress and baker in a town that may be too small for her big dreams. – Richard Whittaker
