The Rudes. They're like the cast of Star Wars or Star Trek, iconic and revered in that way that Trekkers love Leonard Nimoy or George Takei, but for Austin and its avid theatre going Rude fans, well, that, and their collaborative works with others from Helsinki to Cedar Rapids. And their current production, REQUIEM FOR TESLA, is, in its third incarnation, like a Star Trek reboot. While other theatres around town dust off the usual December holiday fare, The Rude Mechanicals, never to be usual, have resurrected REQUIEM FOR TESLA in celebration of their 20th anniversary season. It's obvious they've been around and drummed up an enthusiastic fan base. (Full disclosure: I'm one of them). On opening night for this particular production, one ebullient fan behind us waxed poetic to total strangers about each and every Rude production he'd seen (many of which I've seen myself) including the 2001 and 2003 iterations of REQUIEM FOR TESLA.

Five years ago in 2011, a $50 million performing arts center opened on the Folsom Lake College campus. Perched on the side of a prominent hill in Folsom, the venue held three distinct stages under one roof. It promised both a home for regional arts organizations and a venue for international touring artists. It was to be an arts laboratory for students and campus faculty alike; for the broader community, the facility was to be a jewel in its crown. The opening performance on February 11 was, fittingly, the national tour of "A Chorus Line," the beloved Broadway play celebrating those hearty souls who pursue a life on stage.
