Mi Casa es Su Teatro 2011


Presenting: the 2011 Mi Casa Es Su Teatro, a smorgasbord of site-based work performed in local homes and businesses, and one of the most popular components of our festival. It all takes place on Saturday, February 5 from 11:30am to 7:30pm.

This year Mi Casa is curated by award-winning Austin playwright Aimee Gonzalez and includes dance, theater, film, music, and comedy. We've got a smaller carbon footprint than in years past, too, because all events take place in just three South Austin locations. That means you can take in more than one piece with little or no driving--or just come for the one you want to see; it's up to you. Don't miss the free wrap party at the end of the performances.

Tickets: $3 per performance. Cash only.
