In 2003, a certain green girl flew on Broadway for the first time. In the same year, a handful of plucky performers with some ostentatiously crass puppets opened a smaller show Off-Broadway. They transferred to Broadway months before the witches of Oz made their big splash and later surprised everyone when they grabbed the coveted Triple Crown at the 2004 Tony Awards. Taking home the Tony for Best Book, Best Score, and Best Musical, AVENUE Q was truly defying gravity. More than 10 years later, the show is still running in New York City at Off-Broadway's New World Stages and in Houston Michael J. Ross's MJR Theatricals | Music Box Musicals' production is giddily showcasing why the musical has such pronounced staying power.

The Exchange Artists are thrilled to present the fourth date in their Hot Nights series matching a bit of theatre with a hot local band. A Streetcar Straight to Hell is a bloody HotNight appropriate for Halloween night! We don't need zombies or vampires to terrify. Just watch the iconic characters from Tennessee Williams' similarly named southern drama as they break out of their traditional roles and run amuck all over The Blackheart Bar leaving a trail of blood and original endings. This is a theatrical take on the slasher film genre. The play will be underscored by the infectious electronic and rock/punk concoction that is DD Dagger, fronted by Allyson Lipkin. DD Dagger will come back after the play for a full danceable set making the whole evening a big party. The Blackheart Bar will provide specialty themed cocktails. This one-time-only event will be tonight, October 31st, 2013 at The Blackheart, 86 Rainey Street, Austin, TX, 78701. The doors open at 8:00 pm for the 9:00 pm show. The cover is $5 cash at the door.

Playwright/actor Thomas Ward will premiere his play 31 Plays at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater for a special engagement November 18 & 25. In August of 2013 Ward participated in the '31 Plays in 31 Days' challenge to write a new play everyday for the entire month. What began as a light-hearted creative challenge became a terrifying mid-life crisis as the author began to question every choice, credo, and circumstance of his life.
Last night on NBC's The Voice, the artists went into head-to-head battles against one of their own teammates for the right to remain on their team - and three artists were stolen by other coaches.
