Hamilton ticket buyers, beware: TPA seeks to protect consumers from fraudulent sellers

Sun, 08/08/2021 - 5:00am

Texas Performing Arts will present a limited two week engagement of “Hamilton” at Bass Concert Hall in Austin, Dec. 7–19. Tickets for this engagement of Hamilton are not yet on sale. There are, however, numerous third-party sellers advertising tickets they do not actually have, at highly inflated prices. Currently, the only way to secure authentic “Hamilton” tickets for the Austin engagement is as an add-on to a Broadway in Austin season subscription. Texas Performing Arts encourages patrons to be diligent and exercise safe ticket-buying practices.

The Journey Continues: Is it in the Bible?

Sun, 08/01/2021 - 5:00am

The Journey today takes us to a “pop quiz” on Bible knowledge. Do not look at the answers until you have written a yes or no beside each quote.
