Mission
Now in its 20th year, Mi Casa es Su Teatro is a DIY performance festival and a cornerstone of the Austin theatre scene. In association with FronteraFest and ScriptWorks, Mi Casa premieres new experiments in film, theatre, and visual art, presented in different residential spaces and neighborhoods each year. Mi Casa is a celebration of creative risks and community—and it all happens in your coolest neighbor’s backyard.
This year’s location is the Mishpocha Woods Compound, a collection of five houses and 11 neighbors, all of whom have contributed to this day-long festival.
