Sharing the Swing
Cabaret artist Ann Hampton Callaway returns to Austin to share not only her talents in performance, but, in working with a select group of local singers, she'll be sharing her insights into the form of cabaret, ways in which they might find their own place in it, and literally sharing the Scottish Rite stage with them.

The Elixir of Love
Director Robert DeSimone relocates Gaetano Donizetti's comic opera The Elixir of Love action from the Basque countryside of the original to a 1950s-era bottling distribution warehouse, but he keeps the story clear, and his fine young cast delivers the warmth and humor of this charming opera with colorful aplomb.
Edmundo
Edmundo is writer-performer Jennifer Haley's imaginative, scurrilous, charming creation, part dusty, crude, but enjoyable vaudevillian, part raconteur of an era long past, and his story may be a bit dark, but Haley unfolds it with so much theatrical flair that it is impossible not to have something of a good laugh at the vagaries of Edmundo's chaotic existence.
Austintatious
Tapestry Dance Company's new paean to our fair city, Austintatious, made clear this company's innovative spirit and amalgamation of serious talent; we're lucky this sterling organization calls Austin home.
