  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

      Amadeus

      Directed by Liz Fisher, starring Diego Arroyo Aceves as Mozart and Kareem Badr(!) as Antonio Salieri, this Tony Award-winning play (as scripted by the brilliant Peter Shaffer) features musical interludes with Mozart's beloved compositions. Listen: For one performance only, the music will be performed live by 40 members of the Central Texas Philharmonic; in the remaining performances, audiences will be treated to a "Mozart remix" by local composer Michael Morét. Because, as we've noticed, the Penfold Theatre Company likes to do things 1) right and 2) big.
      Through April 9. Thu.-Sat., 7:30pm; Sun., 5pm. $5-31.

      Mama Duke, BluMoon, Chucky Blk

      Bodying haters with gender-bending braggadocio and unflinching confidence comes easy for rapper Mama Duke. While she’s yet to release a follow-up to the knockout, blitzkrieg debut Ballsy (2020), the Palacios native remains a centerpiece of Austin hip-hop, while also bulldozing a lane for queer people like her. Support comes with neo-soul outfit BluMoon and poet Chucky Blk. Butterscotch-sweet timbres and watercolor jazz swirl in the former’s 2019 LP, Slow Burn. Chucky Blk orbits on an astral plane all his own on A Scathing Critique of Current Affairs.

      Selfie! The Musical

      This new musical by Rembert Block is equally whimsical and profound as its iconic characters – Ugly Selfie Girl, Dude Face, Chasing Sunsets – grapple with identity, image, and narcissism in our hyped-up times. Directed by Bonnie Cullum for the Vortex and Ethos, the show features live music by Brooklyn-based band Rembert and the Basic Goodness.

      testsite: Flotsam and Jetsam

      The two pieces in "Flotsam and Jetsam" are just that: a castaway – a recreation of John Risley's Three Panel Screen, 1960 – and a newly salvaged version, Imposter Screen, 2022, made sixty years later by the artist's son Jack Risley. This exhibition considers the question of how much an artist recognizes and gives attribution to their sources.

      The Plastic Bag Store

      Texas Performing Arts presents this local installation – at the Blue Genie space on Airport, no less – of Robin Frohardt's brilliant and immersive tribute to the vulgar overdoity of plastic waste that humans are subjecting themselves and the rest of our planet to. Listen: "Visit a grocery store where the shelves are stocked with thousands of original, hand-sculpted items — produce and meat, dry goods and toiletries, cakes and sushi rolls — all made from discarded, single-use plastics in an endless cacophony of packaging. When you visit, the store transforms into a cinema for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic, sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations." Sensationally graphic yet more than just spectacle, this thing's got philosophical teeth as sharp as the fangs we're sinking deep into our own carotid. (Note: Some seatings will be free, via Fusebox Festival.)
      Through April 17. Sat., 11am, 1pm, 6pm, 8pm; Sun., 11am, 1pm, 4pm; Wed.-Fri., 4pm, 6pm, 8pm. $15-25.
