DRAGONS LOVE TACOS, SISTER ACT & More Lead San Antonio's Hot Summer 2025 Theater Picks

San Antonio will be buzzing with live theatre this summer, presenting a variety of shows for all ages. As always, these theaters do a wonderful job of carefully considering community needs and desires as they present large scale musicals or thoughtfully intimate performances. Some of my favorite venues are producing some big name shows as well as some new pieces. Check out the websites for each show, as many of them are also providing special performances and fun events! This should be quite an active summer for theatre in San Antonio!
