Zach Theater

ZACH is one of Austin’s best-known places to introduce kids to the magic of live theater. Its stages host everything from colorful family productions and musicals to shows created for grown-up audiences, so be sure to check the recommended ages and show description before buying tickets.

What Families Can Expect

A trip to ZACH feels like a special occasion without feeling overly fancy or intimidating. Family shows often bring familiar books and stories to life with professional actors, music, creative costumes, and impressive sets. It’s a great choice for kids who already love theater—and a fun way to see whether a first-timer catches the theater bug.

ZACH is also home to youth performing arts programs where kids and teens can explore acting, singing, dancing, improv, and musical theater in a supportive environment.

Good to Know Before You Go

ZACH has multiple performance and learning spaces, so double-check the location listed for your particular show, class, or camp. Productions can vary quite a bit in length, content, and age fit. If your child needs accessibility accommodations or a more relaxed theater experience, look for those details on the individual production page before booking.

For family productions, arriving a little early gives everyone time to find the correct theater, visit the restroom, and settle in before the show begins. Browse the upcoming events below to see what’s playing next.
