ZACH Theatre offering exceptional theatre education to serve Greater Northwest Austin with new ZACH NORTH facilities located at 12129 Ranch Road 620N, Austin, TX 78750. With an expansion in the Capital Region, ZACH NORTH will give Central Texan youth, ages 3.5 thru grade 5, the chance to experience ZACH Theatre's professional training without the barrier of traveling into downtown Austin.
"With Austin's burgeoning growth, we have seen a rise in traffic which has made access to our South Lamar location more challenging for suburban families," explains Nat Miller, ZACH Theatre's Director of Education. "Our hope is that by expanding our theatre education offerings into their backyard, and being close to a major corridor that more families from North Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, and Pflugerville are able to be a part of our great programming."

As the premiere professional regional theatre serving thousands of students each year, ZACH's Performing Arts School is committed to that same level of professionalism and excellence at ZACH NORTH. Children learn life skills through theatre education to include creativity, confidence, and collaboration. All classes, taught by professionals in the field, train young actors about the process of creating theatre while having fun! Younger classes focus on creativity, confidence, and teamwork, all in a supportive environment. As classes progress, students become focused on deeper technique in how to perform, create characters, and prepare them for their next big role.
