Electronic Planet Ensemble’s Spaceman:Dada:Robot is a sly meandering visual spectacle now running at the Vortex. Set against a loop of imagery, four musicians take us on an aural voyage at about 67,000 miles per hour, give or take a few. This show dips and weaves into various corners of your psyche and leaves you wondering—and wondering is good. more at austinist.com

Christmas may be over, but a good Scrooge tale never really gets old. Particularly when it comes from a classic American playwright and is performed with ironic gusto by some of Austin’s finest actors. Nonbelievers and Christmas-haters fear not: there are no ghosts of Christmas past, present or future in the Different Stages production of Miss Witherspoon, an existential crisis of a play by Christopher Durang. more at austinist.com

Sculpture artist Damian Priour has been collecting chairs for a few decades now. Although he usually works in large scale limestone and glass installations, he was inspired to create 100 miniature chairs with the same materials and tools he uses to make his larger pieces. To further his creative project, Priour sent eighty-eight of the chairs in eight inch square boxes to artists all over the state. more at austinist.com
