Batch Craft Beer + Kolaches owners Noah and Josh Lit are throwing a shindig for this glorious expansion, a party in which six Batch beers will be on tap (and one more available bottled) at the family-owned and operated kolache bakery, taproom, and retail craft beer shop. John Snyder and Heath Shuford, who are spearheading the venue's IPA program, will be running the brewery (ask 'em for a tour!), and the bakery's going all in with Micklethwait for even more brisket for their kolaches in the future, and – yeah, this crew is doing well over there on Manor, and ramping up the beery, Czechy goodness for all concerned.

In this new Mickle Maher show, at a community theatre audition for a new adaptation of The Three Little Pigs intended for adult audiences, "two sisters set out to search for an actor to play the role of the Wolf. As they struggle to cast the right actor, they're quickly confronted with the darkness inside the audition room – and themselves." A setup like that is compelling enough; knowing it's scripted by the man who brought us There Is a Happiness That Morning Is and The Strangerer and so many other hefty shards of hilarious and cutting brilliance that, well, hell – we like good theatre, what can we say? And this one's directed by Mark Pickell for Capital T and features Jill Blackwood, Kathy Catmull, John Christopher, Robert Pierson, and Rebecca Robinson. UPDATE: And now this production's been reviewed by our own Robert Faires.

This here's a mixture of homespun wisdom, homespun comedy, and homespun goodness in which Ma & Pa Gothic (that's the Institution's Janet Maykus and Tom Booker) dish out a heapin’ helpin’ of good ol' Texas wisdom.

This week's special guest: Some local arts-pimping journo named Brenner.
