THE TAVERN br GEORGE d. COHAN
Different Stages continues its 2023-2024 season with The Tavern by George M. Cohan, a co-production with Austin Scottish Rite Theater. This rollicking melodrama, first produced in the 1920’s, is set in (obviously) a tavern on a “dark and lonely road in the middle of the night.” During a fierce storm (CRASH) the tavern owner (BANG!), his son and their servants give lodging to the Governor and his family, a vengeful woman (EEK!) and.. a mysterious vagabond.
Directed by Norman Blumensaadt (Shining City), The Tavern features Greg Ginther (The Thanksgiving Play), Ev Lunning (The Dresser), Michael Lucas (Heartbreak House), Tom Chamberlain (The Goat or Who is Sylvia), Annie Merritt (The Cricket on the Hearth), Kirstin Fern Johnson (Heartbreak House), Jessica Medina (The Cricket on the Hearth), Emily Robert Stevens (Great House), Doll’s Villarreal (A Expectations), Jack Baziuk (All is Calm) and Steven Fay (Heartbreak House).
Our theater is excited to announce open auditions for our upcoming season! From August 15-18, we invite all talented performers to showcase their skills and join our vibrant theater community. Whether you are a seasoned performer or new to the stage, this is a fantastic opportunity to shine. Don’t miss out—register today and let your talent shine bright!
A co-production between the Archive Theater and Austin Scottish Rite Theatre, this fantastic production will return audiences to the world they loved in our 2019 Cyrano de Bergerac. In Alexandre Dumas’ classic coming-of-age story, D’Artagnan sets out for Paris to make his fortune accompanied only by his hopes and dreams, an old yellow horse, and an empty purse.
Along the way, he meets the best of friends, the fiercest of enemies, and the most dangerous of women, as well as a love that will change his life forever. Jennifer Rose Davis’ new translation of The Three Musketeers is brought to life in a splendid, swashbuckling, period spectacle with live music. Running August 22-September 22 at Austin Scottish Rite Theater.
A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It’s a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they’re good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they’ve found a bunny in the movie theater. But this is no ordinary rabbit… this is the extraordinary Bunnicula…
Judy Moody & Stink: The Holly Joliday is adapted hilariously for the stage by Griffen McDonald from the classic children’s chapter book by Megan McDonald (no relation). The story follows the adventures of Judy Moody and her younger brother, Stink, during the holiday season. Stink is determined that this year, the only present he truly wants is snow – but Judy says that can’t possibly happen where they live!
What would you do if you saw a bunch of tigers get their stripes tangled together? Try to help?Point and laugh? Head for the hills? Better decide quick because they’re coming this way! Get swept up in this zany tale of nonsense, play and teamwork as tiger friends old and new learn how to celebrate each other’s talents and differences, discover their own creativity and ingenuity so they can ultimately figure out how to work together to free themselves from their crazy silly predicament.
Storytelling is the native language of all human beings. But what would the world have become without stories? Visiting college student Jenna relates the story to her little sister Imra in THE BOX OF STORIES. When the trickster gods Coyote, Loki, and Anansi steal the art of storytelling from mankind, sealing away stories into a magical box, it is a young girl without a name that rises to become a hero. Upon finding the box, she uses the stories inside to reintroduce mankind to civilization…
