There's Light Through a Keyhole, by Recovering Addict. East Austin resident Cameron reveals how he conquered drug addictions. Based on a true story.

Into the Light, written and performed by Marla Porter. One woman's tale of coming back to life after a thirteen-year depression. Directed by Max Langert.

Liz and LadyBird: Whistlestop 1964, by Sheila Gordon. The very first female-led Presidential Whistlestop Campaign Tour was organized and accomplished by Liz Carpenter and LadyBird Johnson--two home-grown Texas women. Only two months after the Civil Rights act of 1964, the South was fiercely set against re-electing President Lyndon Johnson. The plan: send LadyBird down there on a train to soften them up. Writer/performer Sheila Gordon presents a one-woman performance depicting the first First-Lady Presidential Whistlestop Campaign Tour of 1964.

Rent II, by Phillip Mandel. The sequel to everyone's favorite musical.

Olga and Volga's Happy Hour, by Zia Schwartz Kinzy and Georgia Pearson. Zia Schwartz Kinzy, 14, and Georgia Pearson, 16, are Olga and Volga: two old Russian ladies who are going to take over the government. Join them as they share their epic life story and train you on how to be a good citizen. Olga and Volga have called themselves "FAB-you-lus-lee in-TAIR-taining!" "Uh-TAIR-lee spec-TAIR-lee spec-TAC-you-ler!" and say that they are "de-OWN-lee show you well need to see. EV-air."
