It’s Summertime!

St. Edward’s University and Zilker Theatre Productions are proud to present another fantastic season. Summer Stock Austin is a program designed for Central Texas high school and college students to produce a summer stock season together. These students work as a traditional stock company, where each member performs, designs, builds and assists on each aspect of a theatrical production.

This particular project is truly unique because it allows students of all ages to work in a professional theatre setting at no cost to them. The company is led by a host of professionals with experience ranging from LA to Broadway. Because of this experience, college students begin making invaluable connections in the professional community, and the high school students gain first-hand knowledge by working in a collegiate setting. Summer Stock Austin’s philosophy is to create an environment of shared learning by incorporating high school students, college students and professionals in a fast-paced production series where everyone involved shares in the responsibility of creating quality theatre.

Over the last three summers, we mounted seven very successful productions, Footloose, Much Ado About Nothing, West Side Story, Proposals, The Stinky Cheese Man, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Assassins. We are excited to embark on our fourth season.
