About
-
Hyde Park Theatre develops
writers, designers, directors, and actors from within the Austin
community, while at the same time producing works by exciting
new and established voices of the alternative theatre scene. We
will work with a broad and diverse base of local artists to produce
theater that confronts, challenges, and entertains. We have a
strong commitment to paying local writers, actors, and designers
a decent wage for their work, and to expanding the base of working
artists in Austin. We hope to diversify and expand the audience
for theater in Austin, making theater accessible and essential
across lines of income, class, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

Our goals include:
- - producing Southwest and world premieres of the best of the world's new alternative theatre, as well as those
classic works of alternative theater that still have the power
to challenge modern audiences.
- - to add to the canon of American theatre by creating,
developing, and producing new plays by local and national writers.

a five-week city-wide unjuried fringe festival featuring over
800 local and national artists annually.
