The Three Sisters By Anton Chekhov. This elegant 1901 family saga follows the struggles of three sisters and a brother living in a provincial town and yearning to return to their beloved Moscow. Replete with sexual heat, gambling addiction, murder, infidelity, magicians, wandering minstrels and arson …wait — could this be Chekhov? Moscow Art Theatre-trained Sheila Gordon presents an active, dynamic retelling guaranteed to resonate with modern audiences and rekindle your passion for this classic work. Directed by Sheila Gordon. Location: Mary Moody Northern Theatre at St. Edward's Universit. Event ID: 11/23
Vienna Boys Choir. The Vienna Boys Choir continue to delight music lovers with their purity of tone, distinctive charm, and a diverse repertoire that encompasses Austrian folk songs and waltzes, classical masterpieces, holiday favorites and medieval chant. Location: First Presbyterian Church of Austin, 8001 Mesa Drive.
Trouble Puppet Theater Company Presents "Frankenstein". The mad doctors of Trouble Puppet Theater Company bring inanimate matter to life through the forbidden science of puppetry in this version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. A classically spooky but radically weird adaptation by Connor Hopkins, with songs sung by corpses, feminist Gypsies, plenty of fire, electricity, blood and goo. Halloween fun, with a brain (several, in fact). While some of Trouble Puppet shows are family friendly, this is not one of them. Featuring original music by Justin Sherburn and video design by Lettuce Turnip Media. Location: The City Theatre. Event ID: 11/16.
