    <title>Boy Toy Presents...</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Formed in late-2008 when a stray bolt of sex-lightning struck Austin&amp;rsquo;s ColdTowne Theater, improv comedy troupe Boy Toy includes some of the funniest and most-innovative improvisers in the country. Among this dazzling troupe of funnykins are ColdTowne Conservatory teachers and graduates, an Air Sex World Champion, a World of Warcraft guru, a zip-line tour guide, the manager of a Starbucks, and &amp;ldquo;Dirty Baby,&amp;rdquo; leader of Austin&amp;rsquo;s only ukulele rock-and-roll band. Boy Toy performs &amp;ldquo;The Harold,&amp;rdquo; the grandpappy of improv formats that intertwines organic games, scenes, and relationships into one big ball of sexy you&amp;rsquo;ll want to take home with you &amp;hellip; but not to your mother. Boy Toy performs &lt;strong&gt;every Saturday&lt;/strong&gt; at ColdTowne Theater (4803 Airport Blvd, next to I Luv Video), at 7:00pm.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>Cage Match!</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now weekly!&lt;/em&gt; ColdTowne's &lt;strong&gt;CageMatch&lt;/strong&gt; throws two teams of comic gladiators into the pit &amp;mdash; some established ensembles, some ad-hoc groups created specifically for the CageMatch &amp;mdash; and gives each of them &lt;em&gt;exactly&lt;/em&gt; 20 minutes to claw their way into your heart. &lt;em&gt;Desperation never smelled so sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Remember, this is the improv show where &lt;em&gt;your vote counts.&lt;/em&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight the classy &lt;strong&gt;Glamping Trip&lt;/strong&gt; (David Lee Hess, Lisa Jackson, and John Ratliff) challenge the nouveau powerhouse &lt;strong&gt;Newport Hen&lt;/strong&gt; (Ed Melendez, Kristen Henn, Nathan Livni,Josh Gill, Alex Baia, Tej Ludher and Mike Faerber).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9:00p Saturdays&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>Radio Silence</title>
    <description>VORTEX Repertory Company and Uprise! Productions proudly present                the world premiere of Radio Silence: a word opera, a fresh-to-death                new bullet in the chamber from award-winning playwright, Zell Miller                III. Radio Silence: a word opera is a fast paced rhythmic ride.                This hip-hop theater performance piece fuses the physicality of                modern dance with high-energy spoken word and the sensibilities                of street politics. This new word opera is a choreopoem that challenges                and redefines taboos including race, sex, religion and politics,                with the back-drop of a fading media: the radio.</description>

    <title>ColdTowne Improv</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;ColdTowne has not only been to almost every single major comedy festival in North America, they also run Texas' fastest growing comedy training center and recently have been featured on The Onion. Catch them on their home turf every Saturday night at The ColdTowne Theater.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight's very special guest: The Frank Mills&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Austin's Favorite Comedy Group&quot;&lt;br /&gt;- Austin Chronicle Readers Poll 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hardest Working Improv Group&quot;&lt;br /&gt;- Austin Improv Collective Awards&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Their shows are improv sex. They are passionate, awkward, hot, comical, sticky, shocking, loving, liquid, dangerous, electric and (sometimes) a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of life.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;- Sara Farr, local performer&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>TAKE THE FUNNY AND RUN!</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;For more than a quarter century, the folks at Esther's Pool have kept            Austin rolling with laughter. Part magic show, part vaudeville review,            part &lt;abbr title=&quot;improvisation&quot;&gt;satire&lt;/abbr&gt; tour-de-force, Esther's            Follies takes no prisoners, offering biting, hilarious satire on all            the news makers and events fit to parody.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>Public Tour: Portrait of a Lady: Depictions of Women through Time</title>
    <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;From the beginning of time, woman has served as the artist's muse and dominated the subject matter of sculpture, painting and photography. See how the depictions and roles of women have changed over time from ancient goddess to loving mother; powerful ruler to sex symbol.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>Gnap! Theater Projects Presents Lola</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Starting in February, we're adding 8 pm shows to our lineup in the newly refurbished second stage at SVT. Our first prime time run is a show called Lola. Inspired by the structure of the film Run, Lola, Run*, we'll be improvising the same narrative three times, with three radically different outcomes based on the slightest changes in causal incidents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This show plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, from February 6th through March 14th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crackerjack rotating cast is made up of:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shannon McCormick&lt;br /&gt;Shana Merlin&lt;br /&gt;Ace Manning&lt;br /&gt;Michael Joplin&lt;br /&gt;Topping Haggerty&lt;br /&gt;Jason Vines&lt;br /&gt;Marc Majcher&lt;br /&gt;Eric Heiberg&lt;br /&gt;Audrey Sansom&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;Craig Kotfas&lt;br /&gt;(with an occasional guest performer)&lt;br /&gt;Visit www.gnaptheater.org for more information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*please note that despite the poster, there will be no red wig in this show&lt;/p&gt;</description>
