Join the Adventure!
Theatre is always a risk, a gamble; a great
adventure which artists and audiences
embark on together.
This season we’re expanding the adventure to
two full seasons in our two beautiful theatres.
The five-play main stage season is filled with
the best dramas, comedies, and musicals of
modern theatre. Our four-play Larry L. King
Theatre season will bring even more excitement
and variety, with brand new cutting-edge
comedies and dramas and showcase pieces for
Austin’s premiere professional acting company.
Subscribe to the main stage season and receive
a discount on King Theatre productions, or
subscribe to both seasons and get the best value
and the most entertaining and enriching
year of professional theatre!
I invite you to join the artists of Austin
Playhouse for another spectacular season
of professional theatre.

The World’s longest running musical is back! The Fantasticks has enchanted audiences for almost fifty years with its timeless story, memorable music, and delightful characters. Songs like “Try to Remember,” “Much More,” and “Soon it’s Gonna Rain” frame the simple fable of a boy and a girl who find the path to true love (and learn that it never does run smooth).
Matt and Luisa have lived next door to each other their whole lives. Their fathers, Hucklebee and Bellomy, know that children only want what’s forbidden, so they build a wall between the two houses and pretend to feud. Matt and Luisa instantly fall in love. To seal the deal and end the fake feud the fathers employ the mysterious El Gallo to “kidnap” Luisa so Matt can rescue her and they can have a “Happy Ending.” But the young lovers must discover the real world for themselves and face true disappointments and heartbreaks before they can live happily ever after.
The Fantasticks stars Brian Coughlin as El Gallo, Tom Parker as Bellomy, Huck Huckaby as Hucklebee, David Stahl as Henry, Michael Stuart as Mortimer, Jacob Trussell as Matt, Steffanie Ngo-Hatchie as Luisa, and Kasey Eggleston as the Mute.
The Fantasticks is directed by Don Toner with musical direction by Michael McKelvey, costume design by Diana Huckaby, and lighting design by Don Day.
Austin Playhouse produced a successful production of The Fantasticks in 2001.
The Fantasticks opened in New York on May 3, 1960 and played 17,162 performances before closing January 13, 2002. A new revival is currently running at the Snapple Theater Center in New York City.
Tickets are on sale now!
