Comedy for CARY at Esther’s Follies
The Council for At-Risk Youth is too quiet. The nonprofit’s job is too important to ignore. And most Austinites know nothing about it. Currently, it serves 600 youths, helping to keep them out of touble with the law — or worse.
Jenille and Jay Springer
This is no a laughing matter. However, the energetically inventive folks behind this group came up with a novel benefit: Comedy for CARY. It’s essentially a shorter, family-friendly version of Esther’s Follies, performed at a time when the sketch troupe would normally be idle.
Jonathan Barons and Andrea Gomez
Area restaurants contributed food. And by 4:40 p.m. Sunday, a crowd of several hundred had assembled to laugh — and contribute to a vital cause. Tanya and Art Acevedo were there, as were a sprinkling of judges and politicians.
Katie Lust, LaToya Henderson and Judge Lora Livingston
It’s been too long since I’d seen Esther’s Follies. Still, a social columnist is kind of like a shark — he must move to stay alive. And I’d promised stops at two other events on Sunday.
David and Joan Hilgers
Still, I’m a believer. And I will continue to toot CARY’s horn. Look ‘em up.
