Austin The Bonobos by Amparo Garcia-Crow Sunday, May 23rd @ 6:30pm The State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. (map) Divorced couple Lorenzo and Antonia have been having an affair. When a cyber porn unit comes knocking on Lorenzo's door during a tryst, the couple discovers that Tiffany, their seventeen-year-old daughter has been starring in and selling internet "instructive videos" falsely implicating Lorenzo as a child pornographer. In the process of defending his innocence, the hypocrisies of sex in one family illuminates the "missing link" that might just bring them all back together again.
April Salon
Caliche Springs Dinner Theatre by Louise Richardson Sunday, April 25th @6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. The Caliche Springs Dinner Theatre is a backstage comedy about a fictional community theatre overlooking Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. Angie Squires narrates her story of the last days of CSDT, the inside politics and the earnest efforts of a clique of amateurs to bring to life two classic productions and one commissioned work about the founding father of the mythical town of Caliche Springs, Texas. Angie is basically the entire office staff of CSDT, a Cinderella who just wants her chance to act in a show.

February salon
STEAL AWAY by John Lively Sunday, Feb. 28 at 6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. Steal Away tells the story of a young couple intrinsically connected but separated by East Texas race relations. Charlamaine and Tommy fall in love and live out their secret tryst under the cover of a hidden bayou. As the narrative unfolds, the outside world, with all their social mores encroaches upon their relationship with tragic consequences. Part Our Town and part Romeo and Juliet, Steal Away expresses fundamental truths measured beyond the known distinctions of race, color and creed.
