    Hold Me Well

    Shrewd Productions presents this virtual world premiere of Eva Suter’s sci-fi re-envisioning of Shakespeare's Othello, depicting "a desolate, Central Texas inhabited solely by women after a catastrophic war has eradicated the male population. With the threat of another war and a new romance quickly unfolding before them, five women bound by the tragedy must entrust their lives to one another in order to save themselves and humanity." (Well, damn – count us in on that action, tyvm.) Directed by Rudy Ramirez, starring Ellie McBride, Hayley Armstrong, Elizabeth Mason, Emily Rankin, and Taylor Flanagan.

    Lights Out for Wildlife

    Several major migratory flyways pass through Texas. Every spring and fall, millions of birds pass through the state. Many birds fly at night, but can become disoriented by bright lights. Texans can help solve this problem by turning off non-essential lights late at night during the peak of migratory season.

    Love Supreme Pizza Opens on Manor Road

    Love Supreme, a new pizza bar on Manor Road – right next to where that Salvage Vanguard Theater used to be – will open its doors to an expansive patio and bright indoor space on this day in Austin culinary history, the highly anticipated joint a partnership between brothers (and Austin natives and owners of Thunderbird Coffee) Ryan and Wade McElroy. The kitchen is commanded by executive chef Russell Victorioso; general manager Paulina Cline will oversee hospitality and bar operations. And the food? Victorioso’s menu will focus on two styles of pizza: crispy-bottomed Neapolitan-inspired round 13' pies and Detroit/Sicilian-influenced square 8"x10" pies. And salads and other such noms – along with Cline's beverage program featuring batch cocktails, boozy slushies, highballs, and draft craft beers with favorites like Pinthouse’s Electric Jellyfish. [Note: Ooooh, that 'Fish!] Reckon we'll all be eating here eventually; you could be among the first, tonight.

    Northern-Southern: Baton

    This is a group show by relay, begun in July of 2020 as a method of socially distancing a community in the height of the pandemic: Artists took turns alone in the space, each adding to the exhibition. Now, as it nears its close, the exhibition resembles a community in which work converses and overlaps. With Adreon Henry, Vy Ngo, Dawn Okoro, Leon Alesi, Matt Steinke, Sev Coursen, Stella Alesi, and more.
    Closing reception: Sat., July 24, 3-9pm
