Come @ Me: Improv Comedy Inspired by Your Instagram
Why are there so many different social media apps you have to be on? And where are my slippers? Are you my grandson? I’m joking about being old, which is something they might make fun of me for when they do the improv comedy inspired by my Instagram. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you won’t make it far in this world! So come be the butt of the joke at this weekly show created by Isaac Garza, Amy Knop, and Kyle Irion, and starring Natalie O’Sullivan Hamilton, Juese Cutler, Sunny Huang, Xander Noland, Lisa Jackson, Colton Matocha, Jenn Rosario, Kevin Anderson, Jamie Meeks, and special guests, who will all endeavor to finally use social media for something good. – Kat McNevinsSaturdays -

Contours of Connection: Mai Gutierrez and Amanda Linn McInerney
Southern Italy is so far away, but a fast – and free – way to channel its charms is this joint exhibition, mutually inspired by the region. Artist and architectural designer Mai Gutierrez draws inspiration from Puglia’s limestone trulli huts in her own sculptures, while visual artist Amanda Linn McInerney dials into the Salento Coast along the Ionian and Adriatic seas in her encaustic serigraphs. A collaborative video literalizes the connection in the two artists’ work. Can’t make Friday’s opening reception? The show runs through March 29. – Kimberley JonesThrough March 29 -

Dino Days
At this point, my love for dinosaurs is so well known to the Almighty Algorithm that I regularly get served ads on multiple online platforms for fossil beds at national parks. Starting this Saturday, you, too, can join me in learning about our fore-fossils at Zilker Botanical’s Hartman Prehistoric Garden. They’re celebrating ye REALLY olde flora and fauna every weekend through to March 22 with scavenger hunts, a dig pit, paleontologist presentations, a make-and-take prehistoric planter workshop, and much more. Plus, this is all included in your ZBG admission price – which, need I remind y’all, is only $6 for adult Austin residents and just $3 for any Austinite 17 or younger. – James ScottSaturdays, Sundays. Through March 22 -

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!
Beep beep! Make way for this vehicular bird, who springs from author Mo Willem’s Pigeon picture books onto the Zach stage for this family-friendly musical. Originally commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the production is suitable for kids 3 years old and up – so a perfect pick if you’ve got antsy toddlers yearning to dance and sing during stageplays. Plotwise, this isn’t a challenging piece: When a bus driver disembarks from their seat, a mischievous fowl takes the wheel to expectedly chaotic results. Feathers will fly, I’m told. – James ScottThrough May 18 -

Fairview
What if you figured out you were being watched? And not just by the phone in your pocket, but by live people during everyday scenarios, like say, making a birthday dinner for your grandmother? And those people get to pick apart every moment, phrase, and choice? Fairview, the 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, uses that idea to riff on race and storytelling. Who should be in charge of some stories? What weight does experience have in art? Ground Floor Theatre tackles these questions from playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, twisting genre and expectation in this complicated, thought-provoking evening. – Cat McCarreyThrough March 8 -

Fences
August Wilson made plays about Black lives with the deliberate purpose to show white America that the idea that their Black neighbors were impossibly different was an illusion. At the same time, his work was deeply rooted in exploring how that illusion damaged Black people, and nowhere is that more painfully clear than in Fences, the defining work of his 10-part Pittsburgh Cycle. In Troy Maxson, the big man of the neighborhood, white audiences could see the frustrations and pride of a man who made the best he could of being a garbageman, a job any of them could have. At the same time, Wilson embedded his story in the injustices of the Negro baseball leagues and racial profiling. This new production by Austin-based director Jeremy Rashad Brown promises to prove both the power of Wilson’s work and the tragedy that it’s still agonizingly relevant. – Richard WhittakerThrough March 16 -
