Written and Performed by: Dr. Jesse Rabinowitz

"Cry Out" doesn’t just narrate Ginsberg’s life but pays homage with reading of some of his more famous work ("Howl," " Kaddish," "Sunflower Sutra") and dialogue with his family and well-known friends.

The Many Loves of Columbina
Written by: Aaron Johnson
"Directed" by: Paul Joiner
Produced by: The Austin Commedia Society
Performed by: I Megalomani
Description: Columbina has solved the problem of not finding the right man by instead finding the right three: the great scientist, lawyer and historian Dottore, the handsome young Leandro, and the sycophantic servant Pedrolino. Though members of the same houehold, none of the men are aware of the other two. The system works fine until Columbina’s mistress Sylvia, home for Spring Break, invites all three men to the house for dinner. It quickly becomes apparent that two of Columbina’s lovers have taken an interest in the other two women in her household. Without hope of concocting a brilliant scheme to untangle her web, Columbina simply fastens her seat belt and prepares to take a wild ride. This is a story presented in the time honored tradition of Commedia dell’Arte, a fast-paced, bawdy, slapstick comedy or what we like to call "black and blue" humor.
