WHAT TO EXPECT:

This is an intimate, up-close experience — not a traditional theater setting. You'll be in the same room as the dancers and musicians, close enough to hear the breath and feel the movement. The bar (sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka) is open before the show, during intermission, and after the show, as well. The vibe is come-as-you-are — dress up and wear something floral & bright, if you'd like! Total runtime: Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (including intermission)

LOCATION & PARKING:

East Side Performing Arts (ESPA) 979 Springdale Rd, Austin, TX 78702
Parking is available behind the building. Enter the lot near Black Feather Vintage, and drive around to the back. We recommend rideshare if you plan to enjoy the bar.
