All 40th Season Events On Sale Now
|
|
Now more than ever, the performing arts are needed to unite and heal our community following the unprecedented break from live events. From established to emerging artists, revivals to new works, and from long-time favorites to first-time visits, this anniversary season promises to uphold our legacy of connecting artists to audiences in meaningful ways.
?Texas Performing Arts isn't playing around for its 40th anniversary. The University of Texas arts presenter plans to roar back from the COVID-19 pandemic with not only a full season, but two slates of shows that, taken together, might be the most ambitious in its history.?
?Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman
