That's right -- this is your early warning of the return of that dark and hilarious fellow from Hyde Park's extraordinary and award-winning production of Thom Pain (based on nothing), by Will Eno. The show premiered in Austin this spring, following a raved-about New York run, and was such a hit for HPT that we're bringing it back for a four-week run, beginning November 29.
After seeing Thom Pain, the Austin Critics' Table gave HPT Artistic Director Ken Webster (St. Nicholas; Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll; The Pillowman) their 2007 award for Outstanding Lead Acting -- and nominated the show for Outstanding Production for good measure.
If you saw Thom Pain this spring, you know what all the raves are about. If not, then this time around don't miss this hilarious, curious, heartbreaking, astonishing show.
The show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, November 29 - December 22. Every Thursday is Pay What You Can Night; Friday and Saturday tickets are $17 ($15 for students, seniors, and ACOT members). For reservations, order tickets online at www.hydeparktheatre.org or call 479-PLAY.
Hyde Park Theatre is located at 511 W. 43rd Street. Evening parking is available at Kenneth's Hair Salon, just south of the theater, and at the Hyde Park Church of Christ on the northeast corner of 43rd & Avenue B. We are grateful to them both for their generosity.

two for one this friday
Featuring Loretta had a marvelous opening weekend at Hyde Park
Theatre, selling out every show. But this weekend only, in the face
of the ACL Fest juggernaut, we're offering a special two for one deal
on Friday night--see below.
Why do you want to see this particular comedy this particular
weekend? Well here's what the Austin American Statesman wrote about
Featuring Loretta: "The ensemble nails the comedy with a superb
balancing act. Michelle Keffer deadpans Loretta, waiting in ambush
with perfect punch line timing. Noah Neal hinges and frets about the
erotic video plans from Michael, hilariously balanced by Ben Wolfe
between the extremes of lascivious sleaze and pitiable loner. And Liz
Fisher as Sophie, does the Slavic jokes while still providing a
simple earnestness."
And this Friday only, you can get two-for-one tickets when you make
your reservation by phone, simply by mentioning this email. Thursday
as always is Pay What You Can.
The show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays,
September 6 - 29, 2007. Every Thursday is Pay What You Can Night;
Friday and Saturday tickets are $17 ($15 for students, seniors, and
ACOT members). For reservations call 479-PLAY (7529); or you can
purchase tickets online at http://www.hydeparktheatre.org .
By the way, applications for FronteraFest 2008 are now available
online. Just Do it!

Featuring Loretta opens soon
The folks who brought you The Pillowman are at it again, this time with George F. Walker's sexy comedy, Featuring Loretta. A beautiful young woman is pursued by two suitors: one who wants to put her on a pedestal, and one who wants to put her in pornographic films. Austin Arts Hall of Fame member Ken Webster directs the Austin premiere of this light-as-gelato summer comedy.
Featuring Loretta features Michelle Keffer, Noah Neal, Ben Wolfe, and Liz Fisher, with designs by Paul Davis, Don Day, and Diane Morrison.
The show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, September 6 - 29. Every Thursday is Pay What You Can Night; Friday and Saturday tickets are $17 ($15 for students, seniors, and ACOT members). Hyde Park Theatre is located at 511 W. 43rd Street. For reservations call 479-PLAY (7529).
