Taking the kids to see live theatre is such a fun, formative experience. It’s adorable to watch little faces light up with joy and hear their giggles of happiness as they engage in storytelling, music, and magic that comes with live performances. Attending a play can also offer a great opportunity to connect with older kids and teens and spark more mature discussions about new themes and concepts.
This fall, there are lots of awesome productions scheduled in Austin. Here’s a roundup of these events so you can mark your calendars, and get your tickets. This list will be updated as more performance schedules become available, so be sure to save this page for future reference.
