Sheffield Zilker Hillside Theater (Located in Zilker Park across from Barton Springs Pool)</h3> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Admission: FREE! (parking: $3/car)</h3>   <div style="text-align: center;"> An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson's The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he does't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. This beloved, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to is quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads, including: <ul style="text-align: center;"> <li>Seventy-Six Trombones</li> <li>Ya Got Trouble</li> <li>Goodnight My Someone</li> <li>Till There Was You</li> <li>Goodnight Ladies</li> <li>and many, many more!</li> </ul> </div> http://do512.com/event/2009/07/03/meredith-willsons-the-music-man http://do512.com/event/2009/07/03/meredith-willsons-the-music-man.xml Friday 07/03/09 20090704T013000Z/20090704T013000Z 0 8.0 08:30 PM Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:30:00 -0500 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:30:00 -0500 4 FRI http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/243327/musicman_sq_90.png Zilker Park Hillside Theater 937 Zilker Park Hillside Theater http://do512.com/venue/zilker-park-theater http://do512.com/venue/zilker-park-theater.xml

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.
