    Launching the second production in their fifth anniversary season, The Vestige Group is excited to present their award-nominated series of Muses: Memories of a House. After three successful runs beginning with the original Muses in 2007, Muses IV continues the annual tradition of creating "theatrical magic," in the intimacy of a home setting, quotes the Austin Chronicle.

    Muses IV provides a new twist this year from the past productions. Muses I - III featured many individuals' lives throughout the house, creating distinctly unique times and settings as the audience stepped through each doorway. This year, local Austin playwrights are provided with a snapshot of a family of five characters who live in the house. While traveling from room to room in this beautiful and historical home, audience members will happen upon moments that construct the web of this family's history, blurring the line between time, real life, and the theatre. From photographs and a tour inside the house, playwrights create scenes that bring each room to life in a different way.

    This year's Muses will take place at the home of Rod and Candyce Russell. The home is located in South Lamar area.
