Austin Scottish Rite Theater

Austin Scottish Rite Theater’s mission is to share and preserve the historic Masonic facility, serving the greater community through high quality performing arts, educational programs, and events. Austin Scottish Rite Theater is an Austin gem – a fully operational modern theater thriving within a stunning historic landmark. SRT is Austin’s oldest theater, erected in 1871, the same year Austin became the capitol of Texas. For forty years it was a German opera house; then in 1914 it became the home of the Scottish Rite Masons who treasured the site and remain watchful tenants of the building. In 2004 the Masons created the non-profit theater organization that exists today; nestled amid the State Capitol, University of Texas, and Austin’s museum district, we at Scottish Rite are dedicated to building community through the arts. We provide quality shows for all ages, with enriching programming for children. For almost a century and a half, innumerable artists and events of all kinds have graced our venue, from the operas and circus trapeze acts that wowed crowds during the 19th Century to the live world music and multimedia children’s programming that delight Austinites today. Community and Children’s Theater Our excellent programming is created by experienced professionals and purposefully designed to meet the needs of diverse cultural communities in Austin. In our dedication to diversity we amend or avoid programming that perpetuates non-inclusive values. Our strategies include cross-casting, adaptation, new works, and community-based collaboration to meet the needs of all.

Paquito y Abuelito

On the Day of the Dead, families gather to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed on. For Paquito it’s just another boring day and he would rather play video games than set up a Dia de los muertos altar for his departed grandfather. That is until Paquito’s grandfather, his Abuelito, appears and takes Paquito on the greatest adventure of his life.

The Rainbow Fish Musical

With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his (or her!)  kind.  When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.  Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

With a bubbly, energetic score and a script that invites wonderful creativity and flexibility, the universal message at the heart of this delightful musical becomes much more than just a simple children’s story.

Adapted from the book by Marcus Pfister, translated into English by J.  Alison James, with illustrations by Marcus Pfister.
Available dates for ASL – Interpreted Performances
