Tatiana Bilbao: Lecture & Symposium
April 7, 5 pm
Auditorium - Buena Vista Building, UTSA Downtown

Tatiana Bilbao is one of the key figures of the younger generation of 21st Century architects. The interactive and social nature of her projects reflect the complexities of globalism. Her structures and spaces open renewed possibilities for communication, circulation, and production in our daily lives. The symposium coincides with the exhibit, The Architecture Of Tatiana Bilbao, 2004 - 2010, on display April 8-June 20 at the Instituto Cultural de México. The exhibition opens with a reception Thursday, April 8 at 6 pm. www.MX2010.com

Add a sweet and fluffy ingénue, a star-struck thespian detective, and a score by Kander and Ebb, and you've got the sweetest little musical whodunit to appear on Broadway in many a year. www.sanpedroplayhouse.com
