Created in 1986, the Austin Babtist Women have become an incredibly-respected charitable force, performing throughout the nation to raise money for HIV/AIDS, breast cancer and other charitable causes. The troupe of five male actors take-on the personas of "little old church ladies" and stage elaborately choreographed, side-splitting routines -- raising more than $7 million dollars along the way for regional and national non-profit organizations.
The Austin Babtist Women were originally created as a one-time charity performance, but demand for their shows has led to an almost-three-decade run of fundraising. The troupe has performed on Broadway and in Las Vegas -- and major cities coast-to-coast -- and continues to headline major events across the nation in addition to producing four signature shows locally each year to benefit Central Texas charities.
Admission to the Austin Babtist Women's 32nd Anniversary Year celebration events is a $5 suggested donation at the door. For more information, visit www.BabtistWomen.com.
