Singin’ in the Rain in the Park (1952)
What better spring musical is there than Singin’ in the Rain, a Hollywood Golden Age classic wherein Gene Kelly prances around in Technicolor and Cyd Charisse stunts on everyone (those gams!). With some of the best choreography and songs of all time, Hyperreal Film Club invites you to a “film history fairy tale about the death of silent film. Sometimes the journey is inspiring and joyful, and sometimes it is exhausting and exploitative … it’s both a monument to the movie musical’s past and a playful slap from its future.” The screening will follow an 8:30 music video premiere for Tele Novella’s “Eggs in One Basket.” – Lina FisherThu., April 25 -

Esther's Follies
Esther's Follies – Austin's not-so-secret weapon in the fight against ennui – the comedy gem that still dazzles this growing urban hub – returns to the weekly live and in-person stage of their club on Dirty Sixth, the whole troupe bringing back old favorites and debuting a new program of hilarity with topical, ripped-from-the-headlines sketches and musical numbers. And you do need a laugh or two, right about this time, don't you, citizen? (And how about a margarita to go with that?) We'd add that the mind-boggling illusions of magician Ray Anderson are a bonus in the night's clever spectacle … but, the way that arch maestro conjures mystery and delight, "bonus" would be an insult.Thu., 7pm; Fri.-Sat., 7 & 9pm. $30-40. -

Hill & Adamson: The Clarkson Stanfield Album
Art conservation can be a contradiction: to destroy to preserve. Thus it is with the HRC and its efforts to restore the Clarkson Stanfield album, one of the most remarkable volumes in the history of art photography. More correctly known as “100 Calotypes by D. O. Hill, R.S.A., and R. Adamson,” the collection of over 100 salted paper prints was collated by the photographers for landscape artist Stanfield and depicts the lords, laborers, clergy, and scientists of 19th-century Scotland and the landscapes in which they lived. Currently undergoing repairs, the center staff are using its deconstructed state to display 39 plates, along with more works from Hill and Adamson, as separate works since the first time they were bound. – Richard WhittakerThursdays-Sundays.

On Story Premiere Party & Live Taping
Maybe you’ve heard of this little-known show called The Office. Seven-time Emmy-nominated Lee Eisenberg likely had a hand in some of your favorite episodes, but the prolific writer and producer has his fingerprints on a ton of projects, including 2023 miniseries Lessons in Chemistry and 2009’s Year One starring Jack Black, Michael Cera, and Olivia Wilde. Next week, PBS and Austin Film Festival’s award-winning show On Story will celebrate the premiere of Season 14 with a live taped conversation with Eisenberg. Those in attendance will get free food and beverages, plus a look inside local PBS station KLRU’s brand-new studios. – Maggie Q. ThompsonWed., April 24 -

Selena Birthday Week Celebration
Some people like cheese paired with grapes. Some people like one of the oldest houses in Austin paired with one of the most iconic music biopics of all time.

To celebrate Selena’s April birthday, the 1997 film will be screened Friday at the French Legation. To dig deeper, head to Sid Richardson Hall earlier in the afternoon (1-4pm) to view archival material including photographs, magazines, and ephemera from Selena’s life. – Maggie Q.

The Blanton: The Floating World
The opportunity to witness, in person, the creative expression of different times and diverse cultures is one of the perks of city-dwellers everywhere – and exemplified by the collections and traveling exhibitions hosted by UT’s acclaimed Blanton Museum of Art. The Blanton’s newest show displays masterpieces from Edo-period Japan, on loan from the Worcester Art Museum through June 30. These “pictures of the floating world” depict the lifestyle, pleasures, and interests of the urban population – samurais, geishas, kabuki actors, boat parties, palaces, and lush landscapes. As then, so now: Much of who we are is what we do with our lives. – Wayne Alan BrennerFeb. 11-June 30 -

WPA: Elizabeth Olds
Minneapolis-born and -raised, Elizabeth Olds lived to a sturdy 94 but didn’t get the attention she deserved in her lifetime. The Harry Ransom Center’s new exhibit, which opened Feb. 3 and runs through July 14, aims to rectify that with a first-of-its-kind look back at more than 100 of her prints, paintings, drawings, and illustrations from the 1920s to the 1960s. Of particular note: her depictions of social and political change from her time as a Works Progress Administration printmaker. Want to go deeper? Drop in for one of the daily docent tours. – Kimberley JonesFeb. 3-July 14
