While Austin is known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," we also have a very vibrant local theater community. In addition to the well-known Paramount Theater and State Theater Company and the Zachary Scott Theatre, there are several smaller theaters and theater companies that are definitely worth checking out. Take a look at the Austin Circle of Theaters web site for a listing of all the options available. You can find comedy, dance, musicals, outdoor theater, children's theater, and everything in between.
If you are in the theater biz, and are looking for funding sources, check out the Foundation Directory database at any library location to find grant opportunities. We also have several books about acting and producing for the theater:
At Play: Teaching Teenagers Theater
Career Opportunities in Theater and the Performing Arts
The Alchemy of Theatre: The Divine Science: Essays on Theatre & the Art of Collaboration
Stage Combat: Fisticuffs, Stunts, and Swordplay for Theater and Film
The Commercial Theater Institute Guide to Producing Plays and Musicals
Sculpting Space in the Theater: Conversations with the Top Set, Light and Costume Designers

How to Run a Theatre: A Witty, Practical and Fun Guide to Arts Management
