Cap T is back with THE HUNCHBACK VARIATIONS by Mickle Maher.

We have created a bite-size 25 minute podcast version of our recent hit starring Ken Webster as Beethoven and Robert Fisher as Quasimodo.

The Hunchback Variations is a brilliantly bizarre and funny meditation on the fictional creative collaboration between noted composer Beethoven and noted hunchback Quasimodo as they embark on creating an impossible sound.

The audio play is directed by Mark Pickell and designed and engineered by Robert Fisher and is produced in special arrangement with Agate Publishing.

Closing weekend! CapitalT.org

Captivating. There is hilarity here and lyricism and intensity when you least expect it and much that surprises. Encompasses the foibles of community theatre at its worst and the wonders of theatre at its best . . . enchantments light and dark, curses and safety and the curse of safety. In sharing the show with Austin, Cap T Artistic Director Mark Pickell casts a potent and mesmerizing spell, one that may help you answer the question, "Do you believe in magic?"
- Austin Chronicle

A perfect Halloween treat. A strange, fierce, funny ode to the sometimes sinister magic of the theater. What begins as a parody of the pretensions and self-aggrandizement of small-scale theater slowly transforms into a comedic, chaotic, surrealist interrogation of the intersection of live performance with both real and imagined magic. Fun, ferocious.
- Statesman critic Andrew Friedenthal

Hilarious, surprisingly harrowing. A night of theatre that must be seen to be believed. Things explode in a glorious, mythology-fueled way that takes the play in a bold, unique, and absolutely insane direction. An acting masterclass. Moments of pure theatrical enchantment. What we see on stage is nothing short of witchcraft: It. Is. Magic.
- Austin Arts Watch

Shimmers with authenticity. A love letter to and a performance report for the theater itself. Director Mark Pickell guides “It Is Magic” through its charming series of reversals and paradigm flips by keeping theater’s secret powers of the unexplainable in plain view. Reminds us that there is pure joy and inarticulable value in being in a dark room with the impossible.
- Sightlines

There is something here for everyone who appreciates art in any mode, who feels transported by a painting, song, opera, or movie, and who then simply calls it magic. An exceptional cast. It is Magic is recommended for -- who else? -- theatre people, and all adults who love a powerful comedy.
