Punchline stand-up comedy

1 24 60970 Punchline stand-up comedy | BYOB! Punchline is the best show in town. No, silly, it's not the local middle school's production of Cats -- it's THE BEST SHOW IN TOWN! Punchline is not only BYOB, but it's a mere $5 to get in. Cheap. Date. City. The show's fast-paced and ridiculous, awkward, hopefully hilarious, and always entertaining -- local comedians each get four minutes onstage to work their magic.  <img src="http://a688.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/33/l_320af0ab2ccc503f768eacea59020e57.gif" border="0" /> http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/punchline-stand-up-comedy-byob http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/punchline-stand-up-comedy-byob.xml Friday 10/24/08 20081025T030000Z/20081025T030000Z false 0 28.6458 10:00 PM Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:00:00 -0500 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:00:00 -0500 23 FRI 10/24/2008 http://punchline.thatotherpaper.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/44089/punchline_flyer_sq_90.png ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml

68585 Radio Silence 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.(Thurs - Sun)  http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/radio-silence http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/radio-silence.xml Friday 08/29/08 20080830T010000Z/20080830T010000Z false 0 10.0 08:00 PM Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 2 FRI 08/29/2008 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/52825/20_Radio1_sq_90.JPG The Vortex 980 The Vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex.xml

Lovey and Lovey trade in world-weary quips that follow in the grand tradition of The Thin Man's wet-whistled wits Nick and Nora. Over sweaty glasses of Dewars and a rapidly filling ashtray, Lovey and Lovey snarkily recount their shared worldly adventures in a modern take on the screwball comedy, trading the kind of stinging barbs and thinly veiled hostilities that are the hallmark of any successful marriage. Love, after all, is a many-splendored pain in the ass. Lovey and Lovey will be joined by Luna Tart, Ramirez and Gilstrap, McNichol and May and Le Sexy.

Sifting through his own thoughts and the lives of personalities that “may as well exist out there,” Simone revels in the utter failure to find any degree of meaning in the predictability of human nature. Material ranges from his own perverse vision of what the future holds for capitalism as well as a pyromaniac grocery store clerk with a profound dislike of the elderly. Arthur Simone is an improvisational actor, abstract expressionist artist and advocate of the culture of spontaneity. His artwork has been shown at galleries such as Chicago's Echo Gallery and art festivals such as Around the Coyote and the East Austin Studio Tour. Arthur's artwork has been  twice a nominated finalist for the prestigious Hunting Art Prize. A graduate of Oberlin College and a veteran of the Chicago stage with Suspicious Clowns and Moving Dock Theatre, he is a co-founder of Austin's ColdTowne Theater, where he teaches sketch, improv, and acting. On the screen, Arthur has starred in Jigsaw, The Evil One, A&E's Faith of My Fathers, Big Momma's House 2, and has been featured on the series Friday Night Lights. In 2007, he won the O'Henry Pun-Off World Championships (left), Austin's regional Air Guitar Championship, and most recently the Alamo Drafthouse's Air Sex World Championship. http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/dear-fraility http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/dear-fraility.xml Friday 08/28/09 20090829T020000Z/20090829T020000Z false 0 5.9 09:00 PM Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:00:00 -0500 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:00:00 -0500 5 FRI 08/28/2009 http://coldtownetheater.frontgatetickets.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/258136/dearfrailty.poster.web_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml

Iden Payne Theatre.   James Maxwell's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is an adaptation of Jane Austen's timeless novel, originally published in 1813. The highly plot-driven comedy of manners set in 1811 centers on the Bennet family, a comfortable, but not excessively wealthy family living in the countryside of England. As the Bennets have five daughters and no sons, Mrs. Bennet's main objective in life is to find (wealthy) husbands for her daughters and retain Longbourn, the family estate, in the Bennet name. When Jane, the eldest daughter, falls in love with a wealthy landowner named Charles Bingle, Mrs. Bennet believes her problems solved. Bingly's snobbish family and his close friend and acquaintance Fitzwilliam Darcy, however, have other ideas.   "Maxwell’s fast-paced version of Austen’s classic novel captures the wit, grace, and anxieties of the familiar story and focuses the action on Elizabeth—a period character who nevertheless remains intimately recognizable to modern audiences says PhD in Performance as Public Practice candidate and dramaturg, Christina Gutierrez. "Given the wealth of both recent and historical adaptations of Austen, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE offers at once a classic and a refreshing re-telling of a story that has so informed our cultural notions of love."   http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/pride-and-prejudice http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/pride-and-prejudice.xml Friday 11/27/09 20091128T020000Z/20091128T020000Z 0 3.0 08:00 PM Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 3 FRI 05/13/2010 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/305382/003033_25_sq_90.jpg B.

66921 BRASS RING Hits Hyde Park Theatre August 8 A Chick & A Dude Productions proudly presents Brass Ring at Hyde Park Theatre (511 West 43rd Street) at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, August 8-30. Brass Ring tickets are $15-30 (sliding scale). Reserve seats by calling 512.921.4264. Brass Ring, an original play written by Shanon Weaver and directed by Melissa Livingston, is a noir story of hit men anti-heroes Ervin (Kenneth Wayne Bradley) and Wyatt (Joel Citty). The two deal with memories of their protégé, Asher (Shanon Weaver), with cynical wit and denial. The reality of the men’s’ long-standing brotherhood is suddenly exposed when secrets and betrayal are brought to light by femme fatale, Jazz (Lynn Mikeska). After the shocking reality check, there’s a good chance somebody won’t make it out alive.  Brass Ring carries the theme of A Chick & A Dude’s HIT. HIT was the winner of three B. Iden Payne Awards in 2003 for Outstanding Director of a Drama, Outstanding Cast Performance, and Outstanding Original Script. HIT was awarded for Overall Excellence-Cast Performance during 2005’s New York City International Fringe Festival. The award-winning director, writer and entire cast of HIT has returned for Brass Ring. Mikeska joins Brass Ring after having earned an Austin Critic's Table Nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Drama for her performance in Where are They Now? She will be appearing in a supporting role in the upcoming film The Ex-Terminators starring Heather Graham. Founded in 2001, A Chick & A Dude productions, a sponsored project of The Austin Circle of Theatres non-profit organization, is an Austin, Texas-based theatre company aiming to "Keep Austin Weird by Keeping Austin Thinking.” The “chick” is Melissa Livingston, a director whose work has been described by NYTheatre.com as doing "...a fine job of creating tight and crisp scenes." The “dude” is Shanon Weaver, writer and actor, about who New York Times freelancer Hy Bender wrote: "The writing, by...Shanon Weaver...is smart and tight; the dialogue in several scenes is so much fun that it garners applause." For more information, call (512) 921-4264 or email achickandadude@gmail.com. Requests for art or interviews are welcomed. http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/brass-ring-hits-hyde-park-theatre-august-8 http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/brass-ring-hits-hyde-park-theatre-august-8.xml Friday 09/05/08 20080906T010000Z/20080830T050000Z false 0 0.0 08:00 PM Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:00:00 -0500 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:00:00 -0500 0 FRI 08/30/2008 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/50071/Brass_Ring_Graphic_sq_90.jpg Hyde Park Theatre 24 Hyde Park Theatre http://do512.com/venue/hyde-park-theatre http://do512.com/venue/hyde-park-theatre.xml
