Jane Austin Improv
March 26 - April 4
(all shows at 7:30p; no shows Monday, March 30, or Friday, April 3)
Summer Break Theatre is renting our venue to present Jane Austin Improv, the 2023 B. Iden Payne Awards Winner for Outstanding New Improv Troupe and a 2025 finalist for the Austin Chronicle’s “Best of Austin” awards.
A playful nod to both Jane Austen and Austin, TX, Jane Austin Improv channels the spirit of Jane Austen into a comedy feast! Starting with a single audience suggestion, the cast devises a full-length play on the spot, creating something Jane Austen might have written. The elegance of Regency-era England collides with improv comedy as the actors navigate their costumes, horseback riding, complexities of courtship, and the rigid social hierarchy of the early 1800s.

An Evening with Ray Prim and Scott Strickland
Friday, April 3
Ray Prim and Scott Strickland come together for a special night of songs, stories, and acoustic soul in an intimate, limited-seating setting. Two seasoned Texas songwriters sharing the stage, trading songs, and letting the stories behind the music come to life.
Scott Strickland is a force in modern music, weaving raw emotion and technical brilliance into a sound that transcends genres. Hailing from Houston, and now based in Austin, he has become one of the city’s most dynamic performers, crafting a unique blend of rock, pop, and folk with a soulful edge.
Ray Prim is a Singer Soulwriter based in Austin, Texas. His tunes are melody-based short stories that anyone can relate to and identify with. It only takes one of his many songs to be instantly hooked.Imagine Ben Harper and Ray Lamontagne heading over to Abbey Road in a Cadillac convertible to pick up John Lennon and Paul McCartney so they can catch the tail end of The Reverend Al Green’s sermon. Five words sums it up – Ear Candy for the Soul. -

Wakey Wakey
May 14 – June 13, 2026
by Will Eno
Hyde Park Theatre season show. A revival of our funny, devastating 2018 production of this beautiful play. Ken Webster reprises his “warm, witty, charming” performance as a man coming to terms with what one small life can mean. Rebecca Robinson also reprises her original role.
Reviews for that production were off the scale: "A riveting tour de force performance . . . One of the most moving experiences I have had in a theatre." “Captivating, superbly funny.” "One of the most deceptively powerful plays of the year.”
If you missed it in 2018, this is your chance to see “an outright celebration of what it means to live a worthwhile life.” And if you saw it, you’ll want to come again. Rights pending.

Dear Dickies

written and performed by Robin Chotzinoff
Hyde Park Theatre season show: Dear Dickies, a love/business letter to Dickies workwear.
Dear Dickies chronicles, through slides and stories, her attempt to become a Dickies brand ambassador. And also her attempt to clean out her closet, IRL and metaphorically.
More information coming soon! Photo by Katie Rose Gurkin.
