TexARTS

TexARTS produces top quality professional theater using union performers from New York, Los Angeles and throughout the region to give audiences inspiring, entertaining and memorable theatrical experiences. Prior productions have included “The Music Man” with three-time Tony nominee Rebecca Luker and her Broadway costar, Jim Walton; “Big River” with Broadway star Lawrence Hamilton; “Carousel” with Patrick Cassidy and “Damn Yankees” with Broadway stars Meg Gillentine and Nicholas Rodriguez – all at the Paramount Theater in Austin as part of TexARTS’ Broadway Family Series. The acclaimed “Off Broadway Series” at TexARTS’ Kam & James Morris Theater kicked off with the critically-acclaimed “Always… Patsy Cline” and the world premiere of TexARTS’ own “I’ll Be Seeing You” in 2008. The series has delighted audiences and drawn critical acclaim and is establishing the Capital Lakes Region as a center for great professional theater! The TexARTS Cabaret Series has included legend Shirley Jones at River Bend and a host of Broadway performers and other crowd-pleasing great talent at TexARTS’ Morris Theater at its Keller Williams Studios

        This charming production of "Menagerie" certainly surprised us. A relatively unkonwn theatre, Tex- Arts, has done a great job. How surprised we were and pleased to make the short journey. The cast... Expand

        This play is a must-see. I was blown away by the actors' performances on opening night. The play flowed without a hitch amidst the haunting, mood-setting stage. This is Tennessee Williams at his best.... Expand

        When you head out for a night of Tennessee Williams, you expect a long, tension-filled affair peppered with fits. Apart from that, you have few guarantees--you hope the actors don't chew the scenery... Expand
