The creative team for this Capital T Theatre Company production seems fully aware of the darkness in Haidle’s comedy, but they bring to it a brightness that keeps the whole affair surprisingly light. Mark Pickell’s living-room set, with its flat, butcher-paper rug and walls outlined in thick, black marks and shaded in pastels, recalls a cheery coloring-book illustration. And Tiny Robinson’s Lucy seems just like the kid who colored it in; the actress – who is an adult – plays the child with the exuberance of a kindergartner set free at recess, all giddy, playful energy busting loose…More at AustinChronicle.com

Through numerous sequels and countless slasher knock-offs, not to mention the recent Rob Zombie “reimagining,” John Carpenter’s Halloween is still the best of its kind, a suggestive and genuinely frightening horror film that’s worth the grisly flotsam left in its wake. After stabbing his sister to death as a young boy, the remorseless Michael Myers spent years in a mental institution under the supervision of psychiatrist Donald Pleasence, waiting patiently for a chance to return to his hometown. Assigned to babysit two kids on Halloween night, Jamie Lee Curtis is the only person standing between the killer and the town’s many horny teenagers. Defusing the tension somewhat here is Master Pancake Theater’s cadre of expert hecklers, who will be joined for this special performance by one of the originators of the genre, Mystery Science Theater 3000 writer Mary Jo Pehl.
True to its name, The Black And White Years treads a fine line between soulful funk and reggae (the black) and twitchy art-rock (the white), much like its obvious forebears in Talking Heads. Fitting then that the post-punk trio so impressed that band’s Jerry Harrison at this year’s SXSW that he jumped at the chance help craft the follow-up to their infectious debut Real! In Color!, due this fall. Of course, no band that gets compared to Talking Heads these days actually sounds like Talking Heads, but damned if The Black And White Years doesn’t come awfully close—wrapping reggae stabs of guitar around sinewy bass grooves and topping it off with the anxious yelps of singer Scott Butler—and there’s even a hint of Of Montreal in there for the kids. The white boys done did it again. Opening: Haunting Oboe Music, Moses And The Burning Bush. www.theonion.com
