Robin Chotzinoff has turned a full-length impossible musical into a 30-minute bedtime story.
Vision & Mission
Mishpocha Woods is committed to the pursuit of creative adventure. Ideally, we make this happen through respect and support for our neighborhood, its history, people (living and dead), land and water. We’re always ready to help each other out–with a close read, a first, second or third chance, encouragement (or distraction) and so much collaboration. We appreciate that this could only happen in casual, friendly, eccentric Austin, Texas. At the compound, we believe that no one should have to eat dinner alone unless they want to.
Activities–an incomplete list
House concerts (Mariachi Relámpago, Matt the Electrician, Southpaw Jones), bimonthly art class with David Thornberry, playwrights group, The Sprint, Cabaret Montopolis, produced by Natalie George), book launches featuring Adam Soto, Short Story Night, The Paperback Game, unorthodox Jewish Holidays, and Mi Casa Es Su Teatro 2025, back by popular demand in 2026.
Buildings
Robin Chotzinoff and Eric Dexheimer ive in Chateau Mishegass, the main house. There’s also The Snapper (a 2-story studio inspired by the fish of that name, currently for rent,) the Woo House (owned by Adam and Robin Grace Soto), Unit C (a bigger 2-story studio, home of Natalie George) and the Tree House (where playwright Malena Pennycook casts spells.)
General Contractor
This is me, Robin Chotzinoff. From 2016-2023 I built these houses, with considerable help from Mario Correa and Low Design office.
