See Austin theater students take the stage in summer shows

From one former theater arts kid to the world, maybe you should go support Austin students as they take the stage this summer. The Austin school district has announced this year’s Summer Theatre Series, where students will produce the Broadway musical “Mary Poppins” and a black-box production of “Treasure Island.” The performances run July 13-22 at the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center (1500 Barbara Jordan Blvd.). Tickets cost $5 to $15, but free parking will be available. This is the program’s eighth year, and it’s open annually to students who just completed fifth through 12th grades. Make a young thespian’s dreams come true and grab tickets here.
