by Jeff Davis - August 24, 2012
"In here, life is beautiful," the Emcee deviously purrs to the audience at the start of CABARET, now playing at Austin's City Theatre Company.

In here, life is many things: clever, engrossing, and always beautiful, even when the proceedings turn dark and sinister.

Capital T Theatre Presents EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR Through 9/8
by Kelsey Denette - August 23, 2012
Nan is finally fed up with her abusive husband Kyle and is going to make a run for it but not until she's duct taped him to a recliner, covered him in honey and invited the neighborhood bear in for a snack. But before she leaves, Nan is going to act out all of Kyle's wrongdoings in front of him with a little help from her best friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart (whose stage name is Bunny). Lauren Gunderson's gut-busting, outrageous revenge comedy is about dreams, healing, and the simple joy of duct-taping a dickhead to the living room chair.
