Locating Available Performance Space Austin, Texas

By Karen Murray


When it comes to locating venues in Texas, it can often be difficult. When looking for performance space Austin, Texas, it can often be even more problematic. For, over the last several decades, numerous historic and performance spaces and venues have been torn down to make way for new condominium, shopping centers and other developments.

Even with all the new development and redevelopment projects, a few venues have held on. Most of these are multi-faceted spaces which bands, musicians or film and theater students can rent on a one time or monthly basis. Although, there are a few others which host world class performances throughout the year.

When it comes to touring acts, such as big name musicians, ongoing theater productions or film presentations, there are a few venues which still remain. Most of which often draw record crowds, especially since these events are now so limited in the area. One of the most historic of which is that of the Paramount Theater which has recently made a bit of a come back. In more recent years, the theater has become a multi-faceted venue for classic movies, intimate concerts and film presentations during the South by Southwest film, comedy, interactive and music festival.

Other venues which individuals might want to check out include the new Austin City Limits Live, a multi-story venue with a mezzanine and art gallery. The art gallery is often considered to host one of the best collections of rock and roll photography in the city.

The second most popular venue in the area is that of the Long Center. The Long as it is known hosts a number of concerts, plays and musicals and boast some of the best acoustics in the area. It is also home to a number of Austin performing arts groups such as Ballet Austin, the Lyric Opera and the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Due to the wide variety of presentations throughout the year, individuals can often buy season or single tickets.

Bass Concert Hall, while located at the University of Texas is an awesome venue. The hall features amazing acoustics, world class concerts, school related events, and special events. The venue plays hosts to music, film, ballet and theater productions. In addition, the venue acts as stage and sound for a number of student projects.

A smaller venue Sky Candy is one related more to aerial classes and movement oriented events. Although, the space can be rented by individuals and groups for other events. Still, the most popular event at the space appears to be the aerial scarf dance classes which are offered on a somewhat regular basis. One downfall of the venue is that there is no air conditioning or water, so it is important to bring a water bottle and hydrate when attending classes or events at this space. Due to the lack of air conditioning, the space often hosts classes, events and rental space during the Fall and Winter months.

One of the premiere performance spaces in and around the city is that of the Zachary Scott Theater. Zachary Scott is a community theater which has been in existence for quite some time. Due to the popularity of the theater, individuals can now purchase single or season tickets. For, the theater tends to have at least one production during each season of the year.
