If you are in search of good theatre and it's not May 27th yet then you have a chance to see it at Austin Playhouse. This theatre company has the best people who perform in it who understand range and how to make each character come to life. The ability to put on a show like Noises Off is 100% achieved here. The ability to change the set during intermissions received rounds of applause and if you know the show you understand why. The cast first off has no weakness and yet no one steals the show because they all steal the show with their many moments. I won't go too much into the story but can say if you have ever been involved in theatre you will be able to relate to this. Bernadette Nason, David Stahl, David Stokey, Kimberly Barrow, Huck Hackaby, Jessica Hughes, Tom Parker, Hildreth England and Zach Thompson stared in it. David Stokey performed some of the best physical theatre I had seen in awhile and Bernadette Nason always delights with her ability to bring a character to full life Collapse

This was my first ever food tour experience and I loved every minute of it. I was a little skeptical with the 10am start for a lunch tour but I soon found that it was the perfect time to get my mouth watering and my tummy growling. We kicked things off with introductions from our fabulous foodie tour guide Olivia - who knew a great deal about each restaurant we were heading to and a bunch about South Congress' history and Austin too. This is a great tour is great for visitors and Austinites - you will not only learn a lot about the city but you will also discover your favorite new restaurant or sweet shack on this tour. I can't decide which restaurant was my favorite because they were all so amazing. I don't want to tell which places you will go to because I don't want to spoil the surprise. I will tell you the the tour it definitely worth the $$$ - and I promise that you will be full by the end of it. I can't wait to sign up for their other tours too. I know they will be great! Collapse

This tour will fill your stomach and introduce you to all that South Congress has to offer. As an Austinite, I found myself trying places that had always been on the "list" but had never quite gotten around to going. Now, they will be permanent spots on my eating out rotation! Not only was the food delicious, but I learned some great insights into the places we visited, and Austin history in general! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour only takes up to 12 people so it was intimate and the whole group got to know one another and left as friends. Completely worthwhile!! Collapse

This event was a fun, enjoyable occasion for all who attended. Entertainment in the lobby of Bass Concert Hall was provided by Gina Lee & the Brisket Boys. Outstanding! Delicious hors D’oeuvres prepared by Chef Elmar Prambs, Four Seasons Hotel—mouth-watering. Announcement of the upcoming season by Kathy Panoff, TPA Director and Associate Dean—lively and delightful and held as we were seated ON the stage at Bass- a real delight. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was an award presented to Jim Ellerbrock who teaches at Bowie High School. Over the past 15 plus years Jim has taken 5000 students to theater performances. He was also presented by Kathy on behalf of TPA with a check for $5000 to enable even more students to enjoy the rich cultural offerings held at Bass and elsewhere in Austin. The 2011-2012 season can be seen at: http://texasperformingarts.org/season. See it now and order your season ticket ASAP. There are many “not to be missed” entertainment opportunities. Collapse

Dionysium is both educational, funny, entertaining and interactive and somewhat drunken. A super fun way to learn about random topics and hear interesting debates. If only all college lectures where like this I think you'd find more people going to class. Its a great way to spend the evening plus you get to hang with the brains at afterward at the Highball to continue the intellectual conversation and/or drink more. I'm looking forward to the next one. Collapse

Really enjoyed my experience with Dionysium! It was a fun mix of experiences between the debate, the lectures, short films, etc. It's great to feel like your learning something without feeling like you're stuck in a lecture hall! Will be going again! Collapse
