Beauty and the Beast in the park 2008
The Zilker Park theatre hosts a free performance every summer, with performances every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. This summer was Beauty and the Beast, the musical. It was quite entertaining. We went on a Sunday and it was packed- so don't get there too late (the performance starts at the beginning of sunset) and bring your own chairs/blankets as well as something to snack on.

Blue Lapis Light
Blue Lapis light is an arial dance company. Every year, they put on an amazing arial dance show at a different location in Austin. This year their dance took place at the federal buildings downtown. Even if you don't like dance, Blue Lapis is a must. The dancers spin and twirl many stories off the ground. It's breathtaking and a little scary. The dancers are all rigged up to wires, but there are no nets below.
No photos were allowed when we went to see the performance, so I had to dig around online and steal one. Check their website if you're interested in arial dance classes, or to watch for the date and location of their next performance, which will probably happen next summer.
Here's a video clip of a performance:
