Rising star Ansel Elgort, "Ansolo," drives Houston wild

(09/01/15 4:11pm)

“Ansel” is a 21-year-old native New Yorker. “Ansel Elgort” is a freshly-minted movie star who swept through theatres last year as Augustus Waters in the iconic summer hit The Fault in Our Stars. And finally, “Ansolo” is a DJ, the latest role in his sock-drawer of personas, and now attracts crowds of adolescent fangirls and electronic dance music enthusiasts alike. After he was blessed by EDM legend Steve Aoki, Ansolo embarked on a late-summer mini tour. Last Saturday night, August 29, Houston’s Stereo Live welcomed him as he dug his sneakers into Texas soil for the first time.


Servant of Two Masters shows potential of slapstick comedy, A-

(11/19/14 9:40am)

The Rice University Theatre Program injects a fresh dose of epigrammatic wit and unabashed delight in its fresh take on the 18th century play Servant of Two Masters. A comedy penned by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni, Servant of Two Masters enthralls viewers with the story of a perpetually-ravenous servant. As is traditional with Italian theatre style commedia dell‘arte, stock archetypes set the tone for this wisecracking play and guide the audience through a zany, boisterous adventure of lazzi, or “funny business.” Those with a penchant for slapstick will find such cravings amply satisfied.
