Best Name To See In A Theatre Program

Lana Dietrich

In Austin, actors and stage companies are like witches in Oz: They come and go so quickly. Which can leave veteran play-goers poring over a program with no clue as to what kind of dramatic journey awaits. But one name always signals a rich perform-ance ahead: Lana Dieterich. For over a decade, Dieterich has graced our stages with sharp, feeling, and often devastatingly funny portrayals, from ditzy seniors to sultry adulteresses to Dorothy Parker. As sure a thing as Austin theatre has.
