Austin's Pennybacker Bridge, commonly called the 360 Bridge, is an extraordinary site. Standing atop one of the highest points in Austin, the bridge resembles a ladder which houses Highway 360 beneath it without ever touching the water below. The rust colored steel bridge folds over Lake Austin, which feeds off the Colorado River and is widely considered one of the most scenic urban drives in Central Texas. ...

| Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead |
| Written by Dante Dominick | |
 Tom Coiner as C.B. It should be immediately clear, the Charles M. Schulz Estate and United Features Syndicate have in no way authorized or approved Royal’s play.

Hyde Park Theater’s production of the off-Broadway hit is directed by Ken Webster. The leading blockhead is played by Tom Coiner as C.B. (names have been changed, but clues as to who is who are perfectly clear). “If [the audience] expects the characters to have remained frozen in time, well, let’s just say 17-year-old C.B. is about as similar to 8-year-old C.B. as you were to yourself at those ages,” muses Coiner. “A lot can happen in nine years.”  Bethany Esfandiari & Xochitl Romero (Marcie & Peppermint Patty) It is in no way a plot spoiler to let you know off the bat Snoopy is euthanized for killing Woodstock, delirious from rabies. You might have gleaned that from the title. But they play doesn’t rely on laughs and juxtaposition of memories. Royal steers the gang through many of the complexities coming of age requires. Hyde Park Theatre has staged Dog Sees God since May 15. Coiner and cast have received considerable praise, causing the run to be extended to June 21. Tickets are $17 ($15 for students, seniors, and ACOT members) and are, of course, only a click away . |
