The Three Musketeers
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 Christmas Carol Catastrophe
Written by Trey Deason
Co-Production with Crown Theatre
Christmas comes once a year, and is a time that opens the door to memories of holidays past, gratitude for blessings present, and hopes for a prosperous future. So, what better way to celebrate this special time, than to put on a show?! And not just ANY show, but THE show.
Join a ragtag troupe of performers as the desperately try to put on the most profound and moving production ever produced of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”…..within budget.
Unfortunately, things don’t work out as planned. The venue has been double booked, the beleaguered stage manager is performing double duty as Bob Cratchit, and the actor playing Ebeneezer Scrooge is missing, forcing the even-more beleaguered director, to play the role.
This band of merrymakers attempts to bring it all together despite facing hurdle after hurdle that threatens to ruin the holiday spirit and stop the show for good. But, ever the consummate professionals, the show must go on, and the gang do their best to arrive at “God bless us, everyone”, as they discover along the way that love, hope, and friendship are some of the most beautiful blessings we hold, no matter the time of year.
Run Time: TBA

Junie B. Jones, The Musical
Created by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich
Created by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, the team that brought you Dear Edwina, comes Junie B. Jones, The Musical – a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books, brought to life in a genuinely comical (and not strictly-for-kids) musical developed by TheatreworksUSA. Awaken a young person’s desire to read with the sassy little diva, Junie B. Jones, and her adventures in first grade.
It’s Junie B.’s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie’s friend, Lucille, doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
Featuring a tremendously loveable character and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones will capture your audience members’ hearts just as the books captivated an entire generation of students. The small cast, minimal design needs and performance accompaniment tracks make this an ideal show for theatres looking to tour schools or with strong education programs.
For more about the Junie B. Jones books, visit www.juniebjones.com or a bookstore near you!

Our Visitors
Austin Scottish Rite Theater is a true gem in the local arts scene! Our ballet dance studio has performed multiple times at this beautiful place. The intimate setting adds to the charm, making every show feel personal and engaging. Whether you’re a theater enthusiast or just looking for a memorable night out, Austin Scottish Rite Theater delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
This is a charming old theater with plenty of parking in the lot and nearby. A word to the wise though - the parking meters on adjacent streets only accept change! My family and I brought my nephews here to see Puff the Magic Dragon, and we all had a great time. The play was about an hour long - which was a perfect length for the children.
Beautiful old theater. Seats we wide enough and comfortable. Not cramped and it was easy to hear all of the actors. Loved the history of the building. Would definitely would go back.
Came here for a children’s play and it was the cutest place. Not a lot of stairs to get inside so grandma can join. Good spacing between rows. All seats are nice and close to the stage. Get there early if you want a space in the parking lot, but ample parking within walking distance.
Great local theater which I heard is the oldest in Austin. I went as a chaperone with my child's school and they were able to accommodate over 200 kids. The production I watched was well put together and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
It is an incredible opportunity to see a piece of history and see a children's show! The beautiful Austin Scottish Rite Theater is the oldest theater west of the Mississippi River, built in 1871!
Awesome field trip!!
Saw, "Pippi Long Stocking's after Christmas Party..." Lots of fun! Perfect for ages 5-9 (kinder-3rd grade). Will definitely recommend this quaint theater to friends and family...BRAVO!!
