Auditions for the 2023 Austin Latinx New Play Festival are underway! The ALNPF will be presented live at the Dougherty Arts Center in April, and you, citizen, could be part of it. Click here for appointment.

In R. Eric Thomas' newly commissioned play, Chelle, an artist, has recently purchased her childhood home in Baltimore; her brother Willard is working on refurbishing it. But the home renovation takes a backseat as Willard prepares for a Juneteenth festival in the adjacent park and Chelle struggles with a recent commission: What should be built in place of a recently removed Confederate monument?

Robert Longbottom's musical play (with lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly, music by Albert Evans) is like no beauty pageant you’ve ever seen before. Six contestants (all played by men), vying for the title of Miss Glamouresse, will compete in swimsuit, talent, gown, and spokesmodel categories. And judges selected from the audience get to pick the winner – so no performance is ever the same, and omg the suspense is real!

The City Theatre serves up Robert Harling’s wisecracking and wise Southern comedy about life, love, and laughter that’s as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie.
