The Tavern
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.

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).

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.

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…
