We're building an Arts Center that will be a community hub for Austin Playhouse artists and patrons as well as serving dozens of local arts organizations. You have a crucial part to play in bringing the dream to life.

 

In April 2019, Austin Playhouse purchased a 2.8 acre site located at 1717 E. Anderson Lane along the 183 frontage road in northeast Austin. 

 

We engaged Forge Craft Architecture to design a welcoming and accessible arts center that will provide tremendous opportunities for both Austin Playhouse and AP’s partners in the arts. 

 

The facility is fully permitted and shovel ready.

​

Austin Playhouse completed Phase 1 of the building campaign by raising $1,500,000 for land purchase, initial architectural drawings, engineering plans, and a feasibility study.

 

On December 14, 2023, Austin City Council approved the use of $4,500,000 of bond funding for this project. The full blog post on this contribution can be read here.

​

Since then, Austin Playhouse has raised over $1.5 million toward the final project costs including site development and building construction. Our remaining funding gap is $2 million.
