Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $112,764 Revenue: $40,071

Indoor Productions: Austin Shakespeare presented 2 mainstage productions at The Long Center Rollins Theatre. We produced our fourth Tom Stoppard play, The Real Thing, with a talented cast and large audiences. In the fall, we did our first bilingual production at The Rollins Theatre: Corneille's El Cid, translated by world-class translator Michael Meigs.

Program 2

Expenses: $98,669 Revenue: $12,048

Outdoor Productions: Austin Shakespeare presented a scaled down production of Short Shakespeare, four of Shakespeare's plays condensed in a charming series. Young Shakespeare presented its 15th year with The Comedy of Errors. Performed at The Curtain Theatre, Austin's replica of an Elizabethan theater, the production featured 15 teen performers in 7 public performances. This is a rare opportunity for students to rehearse and perform on the type of stage for which Shakespeare wrote his plays.

Program 3

Expenses: $42,286 Revenue: $11,137

Staged Readings: We began the season with a staged reading of Athol Fugard's "Master Harold"...and the Boys at KMFA's Draylen Mason Studio. This rarely seen play introduced Austin audiences to South Africa's most acclaimed playwright. We closed the year with Ibsen's An Enemy of the People. We featured TV star Mark Pellegrino (Supernatural) who led an extraordinary cast for 4 performances of this work, far ahead of its time.
