will ever see. Location: Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Call 512-292-4200

Bad Dates
Theresa Rebeck, co-author of Omnium-Gatherum, strikes comic gold with this
adventure of a 40-year-old Austinite single mom reentering the dating scene in
the Big Apple from behind an avalanche of designer shoes. From Cholesterol Man
to Bug Guy, it's a bumpy ride of Mr. Wrongs. But, what's with the big secret
hidden in the shoebox and why is the Romanian mob furious? Location: Zachary
Scott Theatre. Call 512-476-0541 for more info.
