  • 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.

    Abby Jane Bakeshop: Opening

    Wow. Like we needed another excuse to visit Treaty Oak Distilling and its array of Hill Country excellence out there on Fitzhugh Road? Still, this is the new bakery from chef Abby Love (of Dai Due, Qui, and Vespaio fame), and she's creating delicious breads and pastries from heritage grains grown in Texas. Of course heritage grains: Barton Springs Mill is in the same facility. "The 2500-square-foot space includes a nine-foot window into the mill room at BSM, and the kitchen is entirely open, so guests can see everything that goes on in the process – from the flour being milled to the ovens where the pastries and breads are baked." And, for this Thursday's celebration, listen: "The opening menu features such items as jam-stuffed scones, smoked beet and rye berry salad, beet hummus with za'atar, citrus cream layer cake, olive and seed-studded sourdoughs, whole grain pumpernickel, and a buffalo chickpea pizza served with blue cheese dressing." Oh, you know you want to be where this is happening, right? What a fine day of relaxation and indulgence!
    Opening: Thu., Jan. 21, 9am-4pm

    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
