Zach Theatre

Community theater on steroids
Noteworthy for: A year-round schedule offers a broad selection of comedies and dramas, including many written by contemporary Texas playwrights.
Zach Theatre's location, adjacent to the popular Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail, underscores the organization's commitment to bringing professional theater to the masses. By producing a lively mix of lighthearted musicals and serious plays, Zach attracts theater geeks as well as people just looking for a good laugh.
On two intimate stages, Zach presents 500-plus performances per year - and that number is set to rise even further with the opening of a third stage in September 2012.
Comedies for the year include 'Xanadu', a musical spoof of the Olivia Newton-John roller skating movie, and 'Fully Committed', a tale of desperate measures some diners resort to in their efforts to get into a hot new restaurant. In the drama category, 'Dividing the Estate', by Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote, explores a Texas family torn apart by greed.
