The most professional theatre here in Austin. The sets for every show I've seen is beautiful. The acting is phenomenal. The selections of seasons are always a draw, They have such a variety. Their education program is SO GOOD. By far, the best summer theatre camp I've ever attended. This place is high quality. I recommend trying to be a part of this theatre in any way you can.

We went to see an evening with Janice Joplin here at this theater. theater is very nice everything well set up everything was handled well and the show was very very good. I recommend seeing this particular show if you have the opportunity. Very nice theater plenty of parking and restaurants close in the area. We had dinner at shady oak restaurant before the show and then walked back over to the theater. They serve drinks of all kinds both alcoholic and non-alcoholic at the theater. They also serve again during the intermission if you're so inclined.

Got dragged out of my cold, dark house to see Singing in the Rain. Spent most of my time watching some redhead play some role, I forget what. If I am forcibly subjected to culture indoctrination again, I sincerely hope her and those green eyes will be there.

Good place for summer camps. My kids LOVED the camp, had a great time, learned a lot. The camp was well run and security was really good. Great camp, we'll be sending our kids here again next year.

Zach Scott theater puts on some of the best musicals in Austin. We don t have any other theaters that are comparable. One of my favorite long-running shows is A Christmas Carol. If you have the time, you must go see it!

Saw Beauty and the Beast here and it was enchanting. The auditorium itself was a bit smaller than the long center, but I enjoyed it more! Would visit again as it provides any production a more personal experience.

I saw an absolutely wonderful production of "Beauty and the Beast" there with my Granddaughter...entertaining and enjoyable all the way through. The imaginative staging where the cast used virtually the entire theater as their stage was surprising and exciting ! Can't wait for the next production !

This theater is just wonderful! I love going here for a number of reasons other than the absolutely fabulous shows. The parking is always great, the walk to the theatre, bar, bathroom, etc is easy and a short distance. It's not hard to get around at all. The food is good, the employees make you feel like family and the place is just beautiful! Love, love, love watching shows here!

An brilliant part of Austin's vibrant arts community bringing unique, inspiring, thought provoking and beautifully done performances. They also work hard to connect with and serve the community through excellent opportunities for kids and adults to not only see performances, but learn and participate in the full spectrum of dramatic arts production. If it's showing at ZACH, it's bound to be worth it!

Z Scott does what it can. I saw The Drowsy Chaperone and Spring Awakening there (I can't remember the other ones) a year ago. What you see performed is a crapshoot, depending on where you're sitting, how the action was directed, and if you can make out the stuff happening in the wings, because the wings are kind of like everywhere. People will come in from backstage, offstage, frontstage, cheetah stage: every possible stage. The layout can be distracting.

Loved it!!! Went with friends to see A Christmas Carol. Great cast and performance. Simply, Amazing! It is wonderful to have such great production and talent in ATX. Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Had a chance to meet, talk and take pictures with Chanel; she plays the role of the Ghost of Christmas Present and other cast members. Great songs, choreography, inclusion... just go see it. It's worth it.
