    <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>

His numerous projects include Freenet, designed to allow people in countries like China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia to use the Internet without fear of censorship.

    <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>The Method Gun, a new play by Rude Mechs (show times vary)</title>
    <description>&lt;p class=&quot;style1&quot;&gt;Rude Mechanicals (a.k.a. Rude Mechs) is proud to announce the world-premiere production of &amp;quot;The Method Gun.&amp;quot; This original performance by the Rude Mechs explores the life, ethos, and techniques of actor-training guru, Stella Burden, as recounted through the eyes of her students. Ms. Burden&amp;#39;s training technique, called The Approach, fused Western acting methods and more dangerous, &amp;quot;exotic&amp;quot; approaches in an effort to infuse a sense of depth, purpose, and urgency into even the smallest of roles.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This world-premiere presentation by The Long Center for the Performing Arts is the first opportunity to see our two-year, transcontinental exploration of The Approach. We promise: guns, pendulums, &amp;quot;Streetcar&amp;quot; and physical danger. We make no claims on behalf of narrative, common sense, or safety&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>
