Thursdays-Sundays
Coming off of a sold out 14-week run in Los Angeles, Paradise, a sinfully divine bluegrass comedy, brings its irreverent, heart-warming, toe-tapping show to Austin Playhouse before heading across the country. This down-on-their-luck Southern coal mining town gets a big dose of reality when a charismatic preacher, saucy stripper, and greedy Hollywood production company show up to try to create their own version of the American Dream.
Paradise is a co-production by Frost Entertainment and Austin Playhouse.
Paradise is directed by Michael Myers, who directed the original production for Ruskin Group Theatre Company, with music direction by Jim Doyle, set design by Stephanie K. Schwartz, costume design by Dianne K. Graebner, sound design by Andrew Twenter, and lighting design by Don Day. The cast includes Nina Brissey, Chip Bolcik, Jamie Daniels, Dave Florek, Kelsey Joyce, Jon Root, Paige Segal, and Richard Taylor.
