This might not technically be theatre, but it made for some great comedy. On Saturday's show [listen], the Car Talk guys repeated the name of Austinite and Puzzler-winner Quentin Fennessy eight times in a row.......

[[Although the show ran only one weekend and closed some time ago, we're sharing new contributor Anna Hanks' notes on YTCC's latest production. -Ed.] The next time you're at a rock show, take a moment to observe the crowd, and you'll notice something interesting: most human interaction takes place on a non-verbal level, manifested in acts of flirting, fighting, and everything in between.

Dear God, there will be. *Stranger Than Fiction We love seeing talented "funny guys" attempt less-over-the-top acting, especially when they do it well (see: Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Freddie Prinze, Jr. - oh wait, he's neither funny nor talented).
