Austiiiin, we are so excited to share that we will be doing a reading + screening of Yamel Cucuy next week! This is to workshop the new Spanish-language version of the script (no worries, there will be subtitles on the screen above us) and to help raise funds to compensate our fearless cast and traveling stage management team. See you there? Ticket link in our bio!

And a special GRACIAS to the kind folks over at St. Edward’s University for hosting us!

Happy World Cup final weekend.

Here's an old gem from our first year as a company in Austin, 2011. South Africa World Cup was a precursor to our show, Once There Were Six Seasons. It tells the story of how people displaced people to make way for new stadiums.

Filmed at Salvage Vanguard Theatre, Austin, Texas. Curated by Glass...

Frutos de la Muerte is SOLD OUT TONIGHT, BUT:

We are taking a WAITLIST and will likely release some limited view tickets to get more folks in. (You won't miss much, just a couple awkward angles.)

And grab your tickets for Saturday. There is no Sunday performance.

A new play –with movement and puppets– about fungi, political turmoil, and what lies beyond our consciousness. Devised by Glass Half Full Theatre.

Austin Chronicle: "That’s just how GHF’s inspiring collectivism works. . . They crafted the story together. They crafted performances together. And this collaborative vision springs to life with a talented crew that elevates an interesting idea into an emotional epic. Their design elements create total sensory immersion. This production engages every synapse, every cell, every musculature or nerve ending. It specializes in the physical motions and sensations of the tale being presented. "
