Free Live Theater @ ZILKER Hillside, the Newsies production is a HIT, playing now through Aug. 2022 Thurs-Sunday nights @ 8:15, bring your blanket and cooler

Reviews Are In... Disney's Newsies is a Hit!

Audiences and critics agree - ZTP's Disney's Newsies "occupies Zilker Hillside Theatre spectacularly!"

Bob Abelman of the Austin Chronicle wrote:

"...song and dance are right in the wheelhouse of Zilker Theatre Productions' outdoor musical ventures. So, the litmus test for this one is whether the talent on stage – under Joey Banks' direction and with the accompaniment of a fantastic 10-piece orchestra with Beth Everett at the helm – can sell these goods with the same charm and moxie that their characters sell theirs.

Yes, they can. ... every one of them offers a distinctive, thoroughly endearing character and radiates youthful energy and enthusiasm. The ensemble fills the double-wide stage with waves of pitch-perfect sound"

We are so thrilled so many have joined us for Disney's Newsies already this summer, but there are many more chances to come enjoy the show! Catch a performance Thursday-Sunday nights at 8:15 p.m. through August 13 at the beautiful Zilker Hillside Theater!

See you on the Hillside!

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours.
