    Thu., May 14

    Paramount Theatre

    713 Congress, Austin Downtown

    ,

    Austin loves Ilana Glazer. After their first May 14 show quickly sold out, Paramount added another on the same date so more of us can have a chance to see the Broad City legend live. As a stand-up comedian, Glazer brings the unfiltered energy of their famous TV role to the stage, with more focus and less wackiness but just as many laughs. With two comedy specials under their belt, a hit film (Babes), a sociopolitical comedy podcast (It’s Open With Ilana Glazer), and a Broadway debut alongside George Clooney last year (Good Night, and Good Luck), the Broad City… 512/474-1221

    “Imagine yourself at an outdoor Kava Bar,” reads the description for this comedy show, “complete with a stage designed to whisk you away down the Yellow Brick Road.” What a chill, relaxing time! Would it be pretty chaotic if an audience member were to, say, throw down a Cards Against Humanity deck that derails this classic story like some sort of tornado? Yet that’s the exact premise of multimedia collective Communication by Captivation’s Wild Card series, where a single CAH card can have our Ozian heroes going places they’ve never gone before.

    Bass Concert Hall

    2350 Robert Dedman, Austin Campus

    Ease on down the road with Broadway in Austin’s latest extravaganza. Throw the Wizard of Oz in a blender with R&B and disco, and you get The Wiz: After a 2024 Broadway revival brought the musical back to neon, Day-Glo life, the entire production hit the gray asphalt road to tour around with spectacular sets in tow. An updated book and extended choreography add extra boost to this Tony Award winner, making it a soulful night where you can, and most definitely will, win.  – Cat McCarrey 512/471-2787

    City Theatre Presents The Odd Couple

    May 1 - 17

    Genesis Creative Collective

    1507 Wilshire Blvd., Austin East

    Not everything gets the honor of becoming common shorthand, but “Are you a Felix or an Oscar?” earned that right through decades of stellar TV and movie adaptations. They all stem from storytelling genius Neil Simon’s script, a play that revels in the differences between two divorcés becoming roommates and driving each other insane. City Theatre brings Simon’s cheeky and charming comedy to the Austin stage. Watch fastidious Felix and unkempt Oscar figure out their new lives, together. – Cat McCarrey 512/478-2565

    Beverly S. Sheffield Zilker Hillside Theater

    2206 William Barton Dr., Austin South Lamar and Barton Springs

    If you’re a Shakespeare lover and a fan of a comedic twist, you won’t want to miss this free production of what may be the original rom-com. Director Ann Ciccolella brings a reimagined version of the play to the Zilker stage all month as part of its Shakespeare in the Park series. Set in mid-20th-century Italy, her adaptation follows Beatrice and Benedick as the pair navigate tricks, deceit, and an age-old enemies-to-lovers tale. The cast includes Texas State University performers and several Austin Shakespere veterans bringing the playwright’s classic to attendees of all ages under the Texas summer sky. –… 512/397-1463

    Pueblo Revolt

    Thursdays-Sundays. Continues through May 23

    Ground Floor Theatre

    979 Springdale #122, Austin East

    How much is freedom worth? And how do families survive massive upheaval? Are growth and harmony possible during (or because of) distress? Indigenous playwright Dillon Christopher Chitto tackles these questions against the backdrop of 1680’s very real Pueblo Revolt, where the native Pueblos fought against invading Spaniards in what’s now New Mexico. In Chitto’s script, two Pueblo brothers struggle with their own identities and their duty to community, engaging the audience with wry humor and thoughtful introspection. – Cat McCarrey 512/840-1804

    May 14-31

    Trinity Street Theatre

    901 Trinity, Austin Downtown

    It’s never too late for a second chance. Or at least the hope of one, as the protagonist of George Ayres’ Destination proves. Howard may be 83 and resigned to a slow decline toward death in his cheerless retirement facility, but when “the one that got away” announces her engagement, he’s reinvigorated. He ropes his daughter Jennifer into a classic road trip, through which each deals with their own loves and losses. Coming off an NYC premiere, director David R. Jarrott brings the former Austinite’s play to the Trinity Street Playhouse for another glimpse of never-ending relationship turmoil.  –Cat…

    Connelly Martin Gallery

    1406 W. Sixth St., Austin Old West Austin

    Textile art is easy to get lost in. Renata Daina’s fabric work is no exception, woven squares and twisting ropes for viewers to immerse themselves in the coils and turns, in corners of joined threads and tufted squares. Daina’s new exhibit at Connelly Martin takes a distinctly earthy tone: sunsets woven in purple and yellow, and gray-green rectangles covered with strange, wormish tangles. It all beckons toward the harmony of our planet. Join the opening reception this Saturday for a special glimpse into Daina’s natural viewpoint. – Cat McCarrey 318/366-4615

    Wally Workman Gallery

    1202 W. Sixth, Austin Old West Austin

    Bold, clear brushstrokes make the various settings of Mississippi-based artist Patrick Puckett’s latest work instantly familiar yet unique to each painting’s subject. A blond woman lounges on a subtly Southwestern-style area rug with overgrown houseplants matching her light green one-piece (Watermelon, oil on canvas); a shirtless young man stands among pianos and the clutter of a well-lived-in space (The Maestro, mixed media on paper); three fit people just out of the pool – or maybe on their way back in – with two of them wrapped in bright patterned towels that cut through a background of thick green leaves (The… 512/472-7428

    Eli Durst: “The Children's Melody”

    Through May 16

    Ivester Contemporary

    916 Springdale #107, 916 Springdale #107, Austin East

    Photography preserves more than a moment. It captures shape and form, the iceberg depths of feelings from that flashpoint preservation. Artist Eli Durst’s latest exhibit amplifies the emotional intensity in group dynamics. In his photos, he’s mastered seeing the potential for maximum beauty in the breaths before big events. They’re expertly crafted stills of preparations for great moments. Adults rehearsing for a musical. Cheerleaders practicing before the big game. A children’s choir getting ready to sing. All the nerves, hope, and potential are written in their faces, a feast of future dreams on display. – Cat McCarrey

    Sable Elyse Smith: “Clockwork”

    Through August 2

    The Contemporary Austin at the Jones Center

    700 Congress, Austin Downtown

    In cleanly crafted sculpture, neon-illuminated statements, video pieces, and primary-colored works on paper, Sable Elyse Smith dissects the systems of power hidden in plain sight. The Contemporary’s Jones Center welcomes the New York-based artist’s first solo exhibition in Texas. Through a collection building on postminimal concepts, “Clockwork” shares Smith’s distinct interdisciplinary, socially attuned perspective with Austin audiences. With precise repetition, deliberate disorientation, and contrasts of form and color, each piece reflects on the cyclical cultural forces ticking beneath our daily lives. – Caroline Drew 512/453-5312

Now in its fourth year, the interactive installation from the new Austin Studio Tour showrunners sets up the sensory experience at their recently relocated Canopy HQ and showcases pieces from over 80 artists.

    Charlie Hyman: “Flat Earth”

    Through May 16

    Ivester Contemporary

    916 Springdale #107, 916 Springdale #107, Austin East

    Unlike the conspiracy theory peddled by people incapable of comprehending a horizon line, the earths presented by first-timer to the East Austin gallery Charlie Hyman’s ceramic vessels are anything but flat. He utilizes traditional shapes in his hand-built pieces, which contrast the sheer magnitude of action going on over the ceramic surface. Cartoonish scenes comparable to Hieronymus Bosch’s work tell labyrinthine tales of labor, hierarchy, and ritual in rich, vibrant colors. These are pieces that definitely reward repeat viewings, so snag a peek when the show cracks open this Friday, April 10. – James Scott

    American Modernism From the Charles Butt Collection: From Edward Hopper to Alma Thomas

    The Blanton Museum of Art

    200 E. MLK, Austin Campus

    Scenes of urban loneliness and pastoral stoicism, colorful snippets of joyous living, and form-defying illustrations of social structures are a few expressive artworks on display in this much-anticipated exhibit – to say nothing of the bright mosaic-inspired paintings of Alma Thomas and the enveloping nature depictions of Georgia O’Keeffe. On the collection’s first public tour, H-E-B heir Charles Butt shares over 80 works by America’s most prominent modernist artists. Enveloping cubism, abstraction, and landscape movements that captured imaginations from the late 19th century through the Seventies, these varied expressions of identity and experience distinguished an era of American art. –… 512/471-5482

    A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder

    April 17 - May 17

    Austin Playhouse

    405 W. 22nd, Austin Campus

    You’ve heard of a murder most foul, but here’s a series of more elevated slayings. Directed by Lara Toner Haddock from the Robert L. Freedman-penned book, this musical follows a young man on the hunt for his next meal ticket – and he’s not going to let a little thing like being ninth in line for the D’Ysquith family fortune stop him. Lyn Koenning provides direction for Steven Lutvak’s original music, with Sarah Fleming Walker as assistant director/choreographer, which all adds up to a killer time. – James Scott 512/476-0084

    Interested in how contemporary artists are using algorithms and artificial intelligence to create original and interesting artworks? Check out Blanton’s “Run the Code" exhibit in collaboration with the Thoma Foundation featuring work from digital artists like Turkish artist Refik Anadol and Spanish artist Daniel Canogar. The exhibit explores the question of “What does it mean to create art in a world shaped by data?” and how algorithms can create interactive pieces of art. Blanton members can see an exclusive preview on March 7. – Valeria Cruz Butrón 512/471-5482

    2235 E. Sixth #102, Austin Lower East

    Epic. Legendary. Institutional. The only way to survive summer in Texas. All these phrases describe Austin’s grand assortment of community pools. Yes, there’s the shining star of Barton Springs, but don’t forget to pay proper homage to Springwoods or Big Stacy. Artist Ruth Lauer centers her work around an appreciation for those Austin ecosystem gems. Her paintings glow cerulean and azure and glitter with white-tipped ripples – shades as cool and immersive as a dip beneath the waves. They’re a refreshing promise of the joys of the sweltering season. Summer isn’t nearly as scary with Lauer’s optimistic perspective. – Cat… 512/900-8952

    Through May 24

    Neill-Cochran House Museum

    Doesn’t the title say it all? This photo exhibition by Will van Overbeek – whose shots have appeared in Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, and the Chronicle, among other publications – immortalizes man’s best friend at its cutest, messiest, and smelliest. Captured at Austin’s own Barkin’ Springs, these prints have been restored to better quality and are ready to make you ooh, ahh, and guffaw at dewy snouts and sparkling coats. The show opens Jan. 21, but mark your calendars for a reception on the 24th and an artist talk on Feb. 22. – Carys Anderson

    Verdant Gallery

    703 W.10th, Austin Downtown

    Verdant Gallery invites you to join them for the opening reception of INTERWOVEN STORIES. This exhibition pairs the vibrant abstract paintings and weavings of Katie Hathor-Jones with the narrative, figurative works of Sara Lee Hughes. While their approaches differ - both artists explore the ways we construct meaning through visual language. This compelling exhibition reveals how abstraction and representation can speak to the same fundamental human experiences: memory, connection, and the stories that shape us. Exhibition on view through June 13th. www.verdantgallery.com, 703 West 10th St, Austin 5128086033
