THE CURTAIN

THE CURTAIN THEATER
7400 Coldwater Canyon Dr., Austin

The Curtain is a scaled-down replica of the Elizabethan "Curtain Theatre" in London. This outdoor theater with covered seating was designed and built by Richard Garriott de Cayeux. It is nestled in the hills of Mr. Garriott's West Austin estate.

Mr. Garriott has generously invited Austin Shakespeare to perform regularly at The Curtain. Austin Shakespeare has presented galas, and special events such as "Shakespeare, Politics and Women" with scenes from Shakespeare plays and commentary from notables such as UT's legendary basketball coach, Jody Conradt.

Austin Shakespeare's Young Shakespeare teen company has performed summer productions at the Curtain since The Comedy of Errors in the summer of 2009.
