Directed by Ann Ciccolella Come enjoy a play that brings to life the wit, charm, and unexpected twists of classic O. Henry tales, such as The Pimienta Pancakes, The Ransom of Red Chief, and The Gift of the Magi. Known for his surprise twist endings, O. Henry lived in Austin until his mid-30s when the city was lively with turn of the 19th century entertainments. This famous Austin author brought his own special brand of buoyancy to his early 20th century world. Our ensemble will add a bit of music and dance to the festivities.
