The colorful and whimsical pieces include a mosaic torso, a living chair, glass wind chimes, fanciful metal flowers, and naturally rendered twists on honey bees and elephant ear leaves.

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

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.
