Texas State faculty member stars in Austin Shakepeare’s “The Real Thing”

Kate Glasheen loves her job. Even after catching the red eye home from on-site auditions in Chicago to teach her 9:30 a.m. class at Texas State, then fielding press interviews during lunch for her upcoming show — Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Thing” — before heading to Austin for that show’s rehearsals, she will tell you how fortunate she is to love everything that she does.

Broke Thespian’s Theatre Company present “Love/Sick” Feb. 10-19

Right in time for Valentine’s Day, the Broke Thespian’s Theatre Company presents the “slightly- twisted, completely hilarious” romantic comedy, “Love/Sick” by John Cariani. Set for Feb. 10, 11, 12, 17 and 19 at the Price Center, “Love/Sick” is a collection of nine short plays that explores the pain and joy that comes with being in love. “This is a great date night out,” said Mitchell Odin, co-founder and president of BTTC. ‘Love/Sick’ presents to the audience abstract but familiar stages of our romantic relationships. You will find yourself laughing at the absurdity and then suddenly clutching your partner in suspense. At another moment you will be joining in with the merriment on stage, laughing and smiling along, and then just as suddenly tearing up at how truthful those tougher moments in our relationships are.”
