      10/01/10- Ongoing	Rapture the Flag ColdTowne Theater Rapture the Flag Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater October 1, 2010 - Ongoing Seventy-five percent of the Earth's population has mysteriously disappeared, but the left over populace is still only interested in sports, weather and Best Buy sales. Bob Hope's brain is controlling CBS, and for some reason, no one wants to take credit for Florida's destruction. ColdTowne Theater's Main Stage cast returns for their third full-length comedy revue, RAPTURE THE FLAG - a mix of social and political satire, music and straight up nihilistic comedy.
      07/11/10- Ongoing	Oh, Science! and the Free Longform Jam! ColdTowne Theater Oh, Science! and the Free Longform Jam! Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 11, 2010 - Ongoing That's right, Sundays are for kicking back and enjoying yourself. That's why ColdTowne has committed to bringing you some totally free improv, to better enhance your day of rest. Every Sunday, come see house troupe Oh, Sciene! perform their wit and magic, and then join in yourself for the Long Form Jam. No one will make you get up on stage (you can stay seated and watch) but you'll probably want to give improv a try. Either way, the show is fun! And Free!!!
      07/11/10- Ongoing	ColdTowne Theater All-Stars ColdTowne Theater ColdTowne Theater All-Stars Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 11, 2010 - Ongoing  You've worked hard all week, only to be subjected to loud drunks, terrible dance music and bad attitudes all weekend. You need a break from the night life and the heat. Even though it's still light out, ColdTowne Theater's womb-like atmosphere provides the perfect place for you to relax and recover in preparation for another soul-crushing week at the 9 to 5 grind. Every Sunday, a group of students and alum mix it up for ColdTowne All Stars.  Free, funny, and BYOB.
      07/10/10- Ongoing	ColdTowne w/ Special Guest ColdTowne Theater ColdTowne w/ Special Guest Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 10, 2010 - Ongoing   They've survived fires, floods, and each other to carve a thriving theater and comedy school out of a cinderblock video store backroom, and now they're here to play for you. ColdTowne has won more awards than you can count for their smart, surreal improv, and the best place to see them do it is on their own stage. There's a reason they're the three time winner of Best Comedy Troupe besides graft and corruption.   Don't forget that every Saturday they're...
      07/03/10- Ongoing	Midnight Society w/ The Frank Mills ColdTowne Theater Midnight Society w/ The Frank Mills Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 3, 2010 - Ongoing Midnight Society is a group of stand up comedians, filmmakers, and other, less-definable performers, who are among the quickest wits in Austin improv. Their shows typically clock in at nine or ten on the smart scale. Each brilliant line is that much funnier when you realize that its author has just managed to crack up everyone else in his troupe as well as the audience. They've performed across the country in festivals and on tour, and are here with a new ColdTowne show every Saturday...
      07/03/10- Ongoing	CageMatch - Competitive Improv ColdTowne Theater CageMatch - Competitive Improv Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 3, 2010 - Ongoing Once a week, ColdTowne throws two teams of comic gladiators into the pit and gives each of them exactly 20 minutes to claw their way into your heart. Desperation never smelled so sweet. Remember, this is the improv show where your vote counts. For only five bucks, you can come make life-or-death rulings on the future of these doughty warriors! You'll be drunk with power, and you know you like that.
      07/02/10- Ongoing	Shanty Town Lake ColdTowne Theater Shanty Town Lake Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater July 2, 2010 - Ongoing The economy is in shambles. Young professionals are losing their jobs, relationships are disintegrating and society is falling apart at the seams. Only one person can save us all from ourselves, but no one seems to know who that is. Will the new homeless mayor reform city hall in time? Will Reagan return from the grave long enough to smite his enemies? Will we pull ourselves together long enough to get off the couch and apply for a job? ColdTowne Theater’s Main Stage cast...
      02/20/10- Ongoing	Stool Pigeon w/Guest ColdTowne Theater Stool Pigeon w/Guest Presented by ColdTowne Theater at ColdTowne Theater February 20, 2010 - Ongoing The cast of Stool Pigeon reads like a Who's Who of Austin improv.

Sponsored by The Onion. The Austinist's TrueCraig on Stool Pigeon: "...that sh*t's mad-impressive-pressure-awesome. And what they're doing for the cultural development of our fair city shouldn't go unnoticed." Visit...
