TODAY
Gary Carrion-Murayari
In the new millennium, curators are inclined to claim the limelight in the art world right along with the artists. Gary Carrion-Murayari is associate curator of this year’s edition of the Whitney Biennial, the granddaddy — and bellwether — of the now-frequent biennial exhibits of emerging artists. An associate curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the 29-year-old Carrion-Murayari was recently named one of the New York Times Style Magazine’s ‘Nifty 50.’ Arthouse hosts him for a lecture. 7 p.m. today. Carver Museum and Cultural Center, 1165 Angelina St. Free. www.arthousetexas.org
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY
‘Body Awareness’
Annie Baker’s odd modern comedy about the problems that erupt when a oh-so politically correct East Coast college launches a campus-wide campaign about body awareness. Directed by Ken Webster; stars Katherine Catmull. 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays through May 8. Hyde Park Theatre, 511 W. 43rd St. $17-$19. Thursdays are pay-what-you-can. www.hydeparktheatre.org
TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY
‘City of Angels’
Cy Coleman’s and David Zippel’s Tony Award-winning musical follows a frumpy crime novelist who struggles to rework his hard-boiled detective stories to fit the silver screen. A jazz-inspired score melds film noir with 1940s Hollywood glamour. Stars Equity guest artist David M. Long. 7:30 Thursdays-Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays through April 18. Mary Moody Northen Theatre, St. Edward’s University, 3001 S. Congress Ave. $18-$20.
SUNDAY
‘Melodies of Isabelle Aboulker’
French composer Aboulker has dedicated her career to continuing the tradition of the 20th-century French art song — a genre that is sometimes romantic and funny, sometimes anxious and edgy, but always captivating. The French American Vocal Academy presents an all-Aboulker program featuring soprano Frédérique Added, tenor William Lewis, soprano Morgan Beckford and baritone Malcolm Cooper. 3 p.m. Sunday. Jessen Auditorium, Rainey Hall, University of Texas, West 21st Street and University Avenue. Free. www.favaopera.org
