UPDATE: Joey Seiler's review in the Statesman's Arts360 blog, April 13 UPDATE: Click for The Onion's Decider article on-line, with picture and interview of husband-and-wife artistic directors Spencer Driggers and Zenobia Taylor, concluding: ". . . this guy rips, man. They keep asking if they’re being too ridiculous and cheesy and wanky, and it’s like, “No, you can’t be wanky enough.”
Geoff West's interview of Spencer Driggers in the Statesman's Austin360 "Seeing Things" blog, April 10: "King Arthur Meets Heavy Metal" UPDATE: Review of Arthuriosis by Robert Faires in Austin Chronicle of April 16

Arthuriosis video on YouTube (2 min. 20 sec.)
Received March 26:
Gird your loins for Arthuriosis, a metal opera based on the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The legacy of a wizard! The treachery of a usurper! The mystery of a Grailgnome!
Live band Council of the Beast employ their alchemical skills to turn base metal into gold as Austin’s wickedest performers strut and wail on a grail-shaped stage. From the punishing riffs of “Gods of Teeth and Wind” to the tender power-balladry of “Make Love to Me (On the Table Round),” Arthuriosis will rock you back to the Dark Ages!
Two weekends only
Thursday-Saturday, 8pm April 9, 10, 11 & 16, 17, 18
LIVE at the Blue Theatre - 916 Springdale Road

an unrehearsed reading of
 Homegrown Tomatoes by Micah McCoy
Sunday, March 29, 2009 @ 6:30 PM
State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave.
Fundamentalist seminary student Evan Beech can find no other shelter in all of Austin, TX but a shared living cooperative run by a “nest of backyard-pooping hippies.” When Evan’s famous televangelist father is caught up in a sex scandal, Evan and his new roommates are forced to face head-on the complexities and absurdities at both extremes of America’s ‘culture war.’

Debutants and Vagabonds presents
A BRILLIANT REVOLUTION
For radio station manager, Cubby Zimmerman, life shouldn't consist of censoring the Head DJ's absurdities and keeping the janitor's violent tendencies to a minimum; but it does. Anything can happen at KOUP Radio, Skarkie, Illinois' smallest radio station. With forces like Linnius, a monument to rant with a furious suspicion of the homeless, and 8-Ball, an upstate parolee fulfilling his community service at the end of a broom, it's no wonder the station is headed into utter destruction. Thank goodness for anger management, Pepto Bismol, and puppets. K.O.U.P. - Radio That Fights Back! Come see the Debutantes and Vagabonds' up and coming show "A Brilliant Revolution" at the Blue Theatre on Thursday, March 5th through Sunday, March 15th.

Eye and Tooth Project
posted by Texas Moratorium Network (opposing capital punishment in Texas)
Friday, February 06, 2009
The Eye & Tooth Project! How can citizens lobby more effectively for abolition of the death penalty in Texas?
People who attend this project could put what they learn into action on Lobby Day Against the Death Penalty on March 24.
The Eye & Tooth Project!
With support from Amnesty International--Houston / Local Group #23
And performance space offered by Rude Mechs and The Off Center
How can citizens lobby more effectively for abolition of the death penalty in Texas?
How can we hone our ability to dialogue with multiple audiences on the injustice of
capital punishment, particularly when others disagree with us?
The Eye & Tooth Project is a Forum Theatre project that invites participants to explore the questions above—and other questions that arise in the process of working toward abolition. We’ll also discuss how we can help build momentum for bills related to the death penalty introduced in the 2009 session of the Texas Legislature.
