Articulations
By Robert Faires, Fri., Aug. 1, 1997
From its inception two years ago, Austin Theatre for Youth has
been on the lookout for a place which could house its administrative, box office,
rehearsal, and performance needs under one roof. Well, now the folks at ATY have found
their hearts' desire, and, as Dorothy Gale could have told them, it was in
their backyard all along. The new home for the company is The Auditorium on
Waller Creek, at the Sri Atmananda Memorial School, 41st and Red River. What gives
the locale its Wizard of Oz resonance is that ATY produced one of its first shows,
Nightingale, in the Auditorium in the spring of 1996. ATY will present two of its 1997-98
season shows at the new space and the remaining three shows at McCallum Fine Arts
Academy. The ATY mailing address and phone number remain the same. Call 459-7144 for
info.
