Music, Theater And Other Performance Space Austin

By Karen Murray


When it comes to finding a place to host an open-mic or poetry reading or slam, it can often be difficult to do so. In fact, performance space Austin, Texas is some of the most difficult to locate when desiring to host such an event. Although, for lovers of concerts, movement productions and theater, there are still a few hot spots in town.

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.

Still, for those who enjoy the performing arts and the lucky few whom can afford to rent space, or acquire residencies at those still left, those remaining are some of the best in the world. Whether looking to attend community theater or a world class performance, there are still spaces left in the capitol city that host events and often draw record crowds.

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.
