 This Saturday’s silent auction and dance party among year’s top parties.
It’s a trifle surprising an art benefit can be so damn fun. Really, aren’t these things supposed to be white-gloved Mr. Belvedere affairs? The Rude Mechanicals’ annual fundraiser and celebration of performing art has a giant silent auction, live auction, a comedy hypnotist, a DJ, intuitive readings, live food performance…and this is just the warm up. “Of course, at 11:00, we just throw down,” explains Lana Lesley, one of six co-producing artistic directors (and founding member) of Rude Mechanicals. |

 Buddy Daddy improv duo
The last thing we need this summer is another un-funny Adam Sandler comedy where all the mediocre jokes are in the trailer. Oh, wait. We did. Sorry, Sandman you lost your funny bone (and also our money) with You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. We want a little more ballyhoo for our buck.

Still reeling from all the praise heaped upon their last production, HIT (winner of three B.

Director Melissa Livingston (the chick) and writer/actor Shanon Weaver (the dude) weave a complex tale of two hit men waiting on news for the next big hit, and the woman who could ruin everything. Brass Ring is playing until August 30th at the Hyde Park Theatre. |

 Leander's theater secret is uncovered.
With all the bright lights, glitz, and glamour of Austin nightlife, it’s easy for theater-goers to forget about the entertainment waiting just outside the city.
