ColdTowne Theater recently celebrated it’s 5th year as Austin’s finest Airport Boulevard comedy establishment by hosting a combination birthday party/awards ceremony celebrating the accomplishments of our community of performers over the course of the past year. There was cake, drinks, confetti, breaking glass and even our brand new adopted dolphin, Lumpy, a gift from our good friends at the Hideout Theatre. Performers, faculty and students were all recognized for their accomplishments and we were even treated to a highlight reel of show moments in a video put together by the P! Company’s own Kyle Sweeney, based on community nomination:
