Austin Playhouse Introduces Exciting New Cabaret Series for the 2023-2024 Season

Austin Playhouse will present a new cabaret series: Playhouse Cabarets. Each weekend musical celebration invites audiences to revel in the joys of the season. Tickets on sale now for the Fall/October cabaret at austinplayhouse.com/playhousecabarets.

Accompanied by a live band, Austin Playhouse Company members and other local luminaries will treat guests to a one-of-a-kind evening of musical theatre. From fan favorites to lesser-known gems, each carefully curated cabaret will be filled with unforgettable songs brought to life by Austin’s finest performers.

“We believe audiences will delight in the opportunity to enjoy fine, up close, and personal performances from some of Austin’s best performers. What a thrill to showcase more of our amazing local talent in this way! The Playhouse cabaret series will be a unique opportunity for both new and long-standing Playhouse audiences to enjoy a different experience together; the musical theatre cabaret,” said Associate Artistic Director Sarah Fleming Walker. “Last season, I was so thrilled and honored to bring my album “Eleven O'Clock Number” to the Austin Playhouse stage in time for Valentine’s Day. With the Playhouse Cabarets series, the hope is to bring that same spark of inspiration to other local artists and Playhouse company members along with the audiences who come to experience them; as well as a whole lot of seasonal fun and intrigue!”
