Salvage Vanguard Theater has announced its new season! // Rubber Repertory has started airing their dirty laundry in a new, recurring series called From the Dumpster, in which they confess to madcap ideas they seriously considered staging. // There's more than music to SXSW. ...

Thirteen years after founding Salvage Vanguard Theater, Artistic Director Jason Neulander is stepping down. Neulander has grown SVT from a crazy little fringe collective to a powerhouse producer of cutting-edge works. No doubt it'll be very exciting to see what he gets into next....

My how this city has grown. Austin used to be the kind of town where the summertime theatre offerings were slim pickings. Not so...not anymore. The joints are jumping, and this week is no exception. It's darn near impossible to offer a Pick of the Week, so this week we're suggesting not one but two productions we think you'll enjoy. First, however, we need to report on some awards show shenanigans that went down earlier......

Owing to construction delays, Salvage Vanguard Theater's hotly-anticipated launch party and opening production of Mud has been pushed back by at least a week. The new start dated is slated for Thursday, June 7th, assuming all goes as planned. "It's been completely crazy. We're completely crazy. We tried to wrap this job up in two months and one week. That was nuts! The reality is that it's going to take two months and two......

Nearly a year ago, Austin theatre company Salvage Vanguard made the fabulous announcement that they were finally settling down after twelve years of wandering about town, and committing to a single performance space. That new space, on 2308 Manor Road and within spitting distance of the Vortex and the El Gringo/Chile/Chilito goodness, would eventually contain a 100-seat performance space, offices, a rehearsal studio, and a dozen smaller studios to be used by fellow theatre......

Theatre fans aren’t hurtin’ for stuff to do this week. So let the good times roll, people. Let ‘em roll theatre-style. Put your hands together for our Austinist Pick of the Week, Free Night of Theatre! Not just one, but like a bazillion completely free shows in Austin, and across the nation. (That’s right, jetsetter – even if you’re out of town, it’s no worries, because the metro area you’re closest to is probably......

All y'all theatre fans will already know that Austin’s fringe giants, Salvage Vanguard Theatre, are about to whoop some theatrical ass on a big time national tour. The Intergalactic Nemesis, the company’s wildly popular live-performance-sci-fi-radio-drama-send-up, kicks things off with a performance at UT’s Hogg Auditorium TONIGHT ONLY, 8pm. (To all y'all who aren’t theatre fans: see this show; be converted.) Info, tickets, etc, -- visit SVT’s website. In anticipation, we bring you one of......

It’s pretty hard not to like Salvage Vanguard’s Intergalactic Nemesis trilogy (of which we saw Episode II: The Return of the Intergalactic Nemesis this past Friday). As the lights come up, an incredibly dry and playfully sarcastic LB Deyo introduces the show like a late night personality doing his opening bit. The audience warms, then laughs – almost as if Deyo is their new buddy, with whom they’re merely shootin’ the shit. By the......

Salvage Vanguard Theater is about to get big -- real big. Long established as one of Austin's fringe theatre giants, SVT is going national with a full-scale tour of their Intergalactic Nemesis series (not to mention a possible commercial run in NYC). They'll return home just in time to move into their brand spankin' new performance space and mount Nemesis again at the 1,200 seat Hogg Auditorium here in town. But according to Jason......

Those theatrical ruffians over at Salvage Vanguard, after 12 years of sowing their wild oats all over Austin's performance scene, are finally settling down with just one theatre. Only hours ago they signed an 8 year lease on 2308 Manor Rd -- a few blocks east of the already well known Vortex Theatre. The new 100 seat performance spaced will be flanked by a 1600 sq ft rehearsal studio, administrative offices, and 12 small......

Imagine roving bands of Mongols raping, murdering, and pillaging. Now imagine seeing such things set to music and delivered in song. If that sounds as interesting to you as it does to us, you should make your way over to the Salvage Vanguard Theater and buy yourself a ticket. Genghis Khan, a new opera by Jason Neulander and Graham Reynolds opened this Thursday at the Off Center and runs through April 9. Admission is on......
