In promotion of his new film 'Hollywood Ending,' reluctant traveler Woody Allen appeared briefly in Austin to talk bats, barbecue, and why he'll never go back to stand-up.

Giants Have Us in Their Books

There are moments of magic in Shard Live Performance Collective production of Giants Have Us in Their Books, Jose Rivera's five-play take on human vices and virtues, but they are few and far between in an evening filled with urban and suburban angst, folly, and outright nastiness.

The Sorcerer

The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin's new revival of the G&S operetta The Sorcerer proves a genial spoof of class prejudice, at least as staged by G'Ann Boyd. Her uncluttered approach allows the work's understated satire to shine through the performers' presence and delivery of the songs.

ROYGBIV 2001

In ROYGBIV 2001: A Human Odyssey, ONE Theatre Company sets out to chronicle the universal passages of human existence through an Everyman figure that they follow from birth to death. But the show itself seems to be in the midst of adolescence: Full of big dreams, idealistic, and ready to take on the world, but still a little awkward in its own body.

Play On!

In the backstage comedy Anton in Show Business, playwright Jane Martin wittily paints the contemporary stage as a madhouse overrun by loons and lunatics so preoccupied with money, image, and themselves that they can hardly be bothered to create art. And the State Theater Company's production takes us inside the insanity with an air of playfulness that keeps the audience primed for a good time.

"...wouldn't you know) catalogues the artistic temperament and personal folly that infests the theatre with wicked precision...."
