 Performing arts organization |
501 W 3rd St (Box Office) Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 476 2163 (Box Office) http://www.balletaustin.org |
This company knows how to push the limits and still keep the traditional form. The traditional Christmas production of The Nutcracker always brings a smile to patrons' faces. Each year an innovative twist or take on this classic ballet provides a new perspective on this timeless work. Ballet Austin is very familiar with the eclectic nature of the Austin arts scene, and keeps that in mind when developing the seasonal productions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy venue |
7701 Bee Caves Rd Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 330 9500 http://www.oneworldtheatre.org |
This auditorium has a 300-seat capacity and fills a gap in the local arts scene for a smaller, elegant venue for music, dance and theatre performances. State-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, a mezzanine and a raised stage mean that every seat is a good one. It's part of the Barton Creek Arts Center, an entire complex dedicated to the arts, education and environment. Located on a hillside overlooking picturesque tree canopies and streams, it's about ten minutes from downtown. The theater is the brainchild of One World, a local non-profit arts organization.

 Great spot for a play or concert |
2200 Barton Springs Rd Zilker Park Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 479 9491 http://www.zilker.org |
Austin's largest park, Zilker Park, houses Zilker Hillside Theater, a beautiful outdoor theater. During the summer, catch free musicals, concerts and "Shakespeare in the Park". Large crowds often line the grassy hills with blankets. During the rest of the year, enjoy a variety of performances (call ahead for seasonal schedules). Bring a picnic lunch, or perhaps just some wine and cheese for a snack and watch the stars come out, in the sky and onstage. Admission is free for most events. Review © 2007, Wcities |
