Book, Music & Lyrics by Jonathan Larson | Directed by Dave Steakley | Musical Direction by Allen Robertson | Choreography by Robin Lewis September 16, 2010 - November 28, 2010 Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of New York City bohemia when ZACH transports you to the lively East Village where performance artists, musicians, and hipsters of all persuasions band together to revolt against convention. The artist squatters have taken over the theatre and have created an environment in which you are fully surrounded by Austin’s finest rock vocalists and musicians and visual artists’ creative expressions of sculptural whimsy. And when Mimi locks eyes with Roger, and Angel spies Colin, and Maureen tugs at Joanne this rock opera ignites sparks of love that redefine what family can be. Viva la vie boheme! (Read more.)

by Margaret Engel and Allison Engel January 27, 2011 - March 13, 2011 The unsinkable Molly Ivins, Austin's no-holds-barred newspaper columnist and best-selling author, is back to tell it like it is in a side-splittingly funny play. A true Texas original, Ivins was a sharp-tongued wit who skewered the "Lege" and the good ol' boys who ran it with her unforgettable humor and wisdom. Written by twin journalist sisters, Margaret and Allison Engel celebrate Molly's courage and tenacity – even when a complacent America wasn't listening — in a play that is nothing short of kick ass.

Two married writers live a life whose very profession places them on edge of fact and fiction. When Linda faces a fatal diagnosis, she and husband Michael are forced to confront the notion that the only thing harder than dying with a secret is living with one. Dietz, the most produced playwright in the country, directs this gasp-out-loud comedic drama with his trademark and irresistible blend of humor, heart and precision. (Read more.) MEDIA LINKS: |

Perfectly subversive, this entertaining turbo-charged saga shocks with each new diabolically funny bombshell that’s dropped. (Read more.) MEDIA LINKS:
