The Darkness of Light
The audience for NobleMotion’s Collide experiences a tender moment in the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts’ Zilkha Hall before the show even begins. The curtain is raised and the dancers and Austin-based rock band My Education are visible for all to see. The dancers mark the evening’s work while My Education runs through their set.
Peter and the Starcatcher
If the title character of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan existed before the beloved story begins, he might have been a nameless boy in the bowels of a boat caught in the crossfire of warring pirates. That’s the story of Peter and the Starcatcher, a winsome play touring the country and still enjoying a successful run on Broadway.
Michael Blair & Angel Fernandez: New Work
Over the years a few things happen when you write about local art— the most basic being that you become familiar with local work (and occasionally with the artists who make it).

México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990
México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990 is a tour de force of ambiguity. As a show with work by 23 artists connected to Mexico it runs the risk of being a politically-correct art-ghetto based on geographical stereotypes.
TX 13 Group Survey Exhibition
With 13 curators and about 70 artists, the TX 13 Group Survey Exhibition is a cacophony of sounds, images and styles that tries for the first time to jam all the artists selected in a statewide open call for the Texas Biennial into a single space — the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum.
Review: Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is the most over-hyped Broadway musical of the last decade. But no doubt you’ll still be laughing about it to your friends long after the touring musical leaves Texas.
