Here’s some great news for North Austin families… ZACH Theatre is opening a new ZACH North campus, giving kids ages 3 and up the chance to experience ZACH Theatre’s education program without the hassle of fighting traffic and traveling into downtown Austin. The new facilities are located at 12129 Ranch Road 620N, Austin, TX 78750.

Nat Miller, ZACH Theatre’s Director of Education explains, “Our hope is that by expanding our theatre education offerings into their backyard, and being close to a major corridor that more families from North Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, and Pflugerville are able to be a part of our great programming.”

For over 30 years, ZACH’s Performing Arts School has been teaching life skills such as creativity, confidence, and collaboration through theatre education.  All classes, taught by professionals in the field, train young actors about the process of creating theatre while having fun!
