Mexic-Arte Museum's showing of selections from its permanent collection is a little confusing in setup and somewhat rough, but there's also something charming about its rusticity.

For their production of A Raisin in the Sun at St. Edward's University, director Melba Martinez has her designers and cast support Lorraine Hansberry's play in almost every conceivable way, and the rewards to be reaped from their investment are great.
The Emperor of the Moon
The Bedlam Faction's sci-fi, action-movie, musical upgrade of Aphra Behn's 17th-century comedy The Emperor of the Moon is a good time that's edgy enough for the wilder bunch and tame enough for conventional crowds.
