  • 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.

    Austin Chamber Music Festival

    The ACMC celebrates its 25th annual Austin Chamber Music Festival outdoors and online this year, presenting performances on the Neill-Cochran House lawn on Thursday evenings through June 24. (Note: For those not currently participating in outdoor events, a livestream option is available to enjoy the concerts remotely in real time.) This year's festival includes the Schumann Chamber Players and Artina McCain; the Artisan Quartet, made up of Austin Symphony principal musicians; the genre-defying Invoke, flutist Ebonee Thomas of the Dallas Opera, cellist Ryan Murphy of the San Antonio Symphony, and violinist Charles Wetherbee of Carpe Diem String Quartet. The Festival finale features former Mother Falcon members Laura and Rita Andrade. "These concerts are SO meaningful to us," says ACMC's artistic director Michelle Schumann, "not just because we get to play again, but because we get to see our audience members again."
    Through June 24. Thursdays, 7:30pm. $30-50.

    Fusebox: Lil' Bash

    They weren’t able to stage their annual fundraiser as intended, so the Fusebox team has cooked up Lil' Bash, a "joyous celebration featuring the grooves of DJ Shani, a show-stopping appearance by the Queens of ExtragramsATX, live performances from acclaimed artist Michael J. Love and Austin's Bowie tribute band Super Creeps, and trippy visuals from Essentials Creative, all served up with a plethora of delectable food and drink." You know how these guys do: This backyard summer soiree on the Eastside will be a rollicking good time.
    Thu., June 3, 7:30-10:30pm. $250.

    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

    The Mysterious Affair at Styles

    Austin Playhouse's own Lara Toner Haddock has gone and adapted Agatha Christie's first published novel? Yes – and this debut opus features none other than the sharply mustachio'd Hercule Poirot. Featuring a sockdolager cast – Ben Wolfe (as Poirot himself), Scott Shipman, Toby Minor, Lara Toner, Sarah Chong Harmer, Sarah Fleming Walker, Ben Bazaěn, Robert Deike, Joseph Garlock, Babs George, Claire Grasso, Huck Huckaby, Marc Pouhé, Ken Webster, and Cyndi Williams – directed by that same Haddock, this murder mystery may be just what you need to transition out of the pandemic and into a semblance of former normalcy. Note: "Employing a hybrid method of theatrical filming, actors will be captured using both cinematic and traditional live performance approaches. To enhance the experience, early purchasers will electronically receive exclusive clues designed for the virtual whodunnit." Available for online viewing with live Q&As after each performance, and – regardez-vous! – here's a video trailer for the show.
    Through June 5. Thu.-Sun., 7:30pm. $15-18.

    The Umlauf's Annual Garden Party

    Yes, the annual event returns in the glamorous style to which we'd become accustomed before everything went pearshaped in 2020. It's an evening of feasting and mingling, with live music and multiple performances – Ray Prim, the Irish Dance Center of Austin, Roy Lozano’s Ballet Folklórico, and more – and noms by Maudie's Tex-Mex, Moonshine, Juliet Italian Kitchen, Paperboy, Parkside/Backspace, PF Chang's Downtown, Fluff Meringues, and other bastions of bodacious imbibing. Wines from Twin Liquors? Yes. Tito's Vodka flowing like ... really good vodka? Yes. And all of it among the works of that lovely sculpture garden and the interlocking shadows of trees.
    Thu., June 3, 6-9pm. $200-300.
