Discovering Available Performance Space Austin

By Karen Murray


As most performers know, it can often be hard to find a place to present a dance performance, play music or put on a play. It can often be even harder to find available performance space Austin. For, the capitol city has gone through a great deal of redevelopment over the last several decades. As a result, several historic venues have been lost in the process.

Even with all the new development and redevelopment projects, a few venues have held on. Most of these are multi-faceted spaces which bands, musicians or film and theater students can rent on a one time or monthly basis. Although, there are a few others which host world class performances throughout the year.

Still, for those who enjoy the performing arts and the lucky few whom can afford to rent space, or acquire residencies at those still left, those remaining are some of the best in the world. Whether looking to attend community theater or a world class performance, there are still spaces left in the capitol city that host events and often draw record crowds.

Other venues which individuals might want to check out include the new Austin City Limits Live, a multi-story venue with a mezzanine and art gallery. The art gallery is often considered to host one of the best collections of rock and roll photography in the city.

The Long Center is most likely the second most popular venue featuring a number of musicals, plays and concerts throughout the year. The venue is reported to have some of the best acoustics in the Austin area. As the center is home to Austin's art groups, including the Austin Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera and Ballet Austin, individuals can often purchase single or season tickets.

Another well known venue, due its location on the University of Texas Austin campus is that of Bass Hall. The hall features a number special concerts, events, student productions, and plays put on by the film and theater department as well as other productions. As might be expected, it is a favorite venue among community members, professors, staff and students.

While Sky Candy is small, intimate and clean, it lacks air conditioning. As a result, most classes, events and shows at this small space occur during Fall and Winter months. Although, the aerial classes offered throughout the year are often a hit, especially with those involved in the local movement scene. Individuals can also rent the space for personal productions or other events when the space is available.

Some other performance and production space in the local area include the Zachary Scott Theater, Esther's Follies, a longtime local comedic sketch production located in the 6th Street entertainment district, and Round Rock Center for the performing arts. The HEB at Cedar Park sits on the far north side of the city in the suburb of Cedar Park and offers major concerts, circus performances and other events throughout the year.
