Chances are you've seen Powerhouse Animation's work, whether you know it or not -- its portfolio includes Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights, Disney TV's The Proud Family, and plenty of local TV spots, ad campaigns, and one-off Flash animation projects.

The President's Analyst (1967)
The young, strong James Coburn was at the absolute height of his own particular cool in The President's Analyst, a film that warrants second-breath mention behind The Graduate and even Dr. Strangelove as a monumental Sixties improvisational comedy.

Let Them Entertain You
The story of Austin Musical Theatre is itself a musical, complete with kids-with-a-dream beginnings, against-all-odds successes, and nail-chewing jams. Well, now comes the big-belting, high-kicking, pull-out-the-stops showstopper: a revue revisiting AMT's greatest song-and-dance numbers, Celebrate Austin Musical Theatre.

All Bodies Dance
The latest production from Johnson / Long Dance Company, I Stuck My Head in the Garden is a 65-minute topsy-turvy of boys and girls in all their confusing combinations and shows the troupe once again smashing the notion that dance belongs to the tall, the thin, and the flat-chested.

States of Grace
States of Grace, the opening program for Sharir + Bustamante Danceworks' 20th anniversary season, provided an optimistic opening to 2003, with bold and imaginative choreographers presenting creative movement against which the rest of this year's work will have to be measured.
The Merry Wives of Windsor
Stuffed to bursting with outrageous characters, broad reactions, and slapstick, The Merry Wives of Windsor as mounted by the Austin Shakespeare Festival and Austin Playhouse is big on big comedy, and the crisp comic work of the cast makes it a sizable pleasure.
