Pride's Crossing: Shimmering Waters

Script-wise, Pride's Crossing is PBS-esque : one of those wistful period pieces about a lively old woman looking back on her privileged youth : but throw a bunch of charming actors into the mix and hip director Sarah Richardson, and you get a show happily at odds with this Masterpiece Theatre-worthy tale.

Music to Hang On to Life By

Dramatizing the pull of music on a human life is no easy task, but Warren Leight's Side Man shows jazz players hanging on to their music to keep from giving in to despair, and its Austin premiere will benefit from the skill of Zachary Scott Theatre Center Artistic Director Dave Steakley, who has consistently demonstrated an uncanny knack for portraying the impact that music can have on a life and the place where drama is best expressed through music.
