Red Dragon Players Booster Club

Directions Website

Red Dragon Players Booster Club The official non-profit Booster Club for parents and members of the community who support the award-winning Austin High School Theatre Department.

Theatre has a long and rich role in the history of Austin High School. Archive records show that performances were given as far back as 1908. That year, they produced two shows, As You Like It and Bachelor Hall. Since that time, over 400 shows have been produced here. Our records show that The Senior High Dramatic Club was formed in 1913 and lasted, we believe, until 1921. At that time, The Junior Curtain Club was formed. The Red Mask Dramatics Club was formed in 1926 and co-existed with the JCC. The JCC and the RMDC joined to become the Austin High School Little Theatre. Austin High did not have an official mascot, so in the fall of 1929, under the direction of James R. Burton, the theatre department named themselves The Red Dragon Players. This year, the Red Dragon Players are celebrating their 85th anniversary. The season usually includes four full-length productions (each show is performed five to eight times), plus a short play that is entered in the UIL One-Act Play Contest. Theatre Art students can take the following classes: Theatre Arts I-IV, Technical Theatre I-IV, Theatre Production I-IV, and Musical Theatre I-IV. The last show on the Rio Grande campus was The Dark at the Top of the Stairs in the spring of 1975, and the first show on the current campus was A Clearing in the Woods in the fall of 1975. This booster club exists to perpetuate that sterling tradition. Join us today!

Austin High School's Red Dragon Players in collaboration with the AHS ORCHESTRA brings to the AHS PAC stage Stephen Sondheim and Julie Styne’s classic, Gypsy A Musical Fable. It is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of st******se artist Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical focuses on her mother, Rose, whose name has become synonymous with “the ultimate show business mother,” and follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and casts an eye on the hardships of show business.
Gypsy is frequently considered one of the crowning achievements of the mid-twentieth century’s conventional musical theater art form often referred to as the book musical. Gypsy has been called the greatest American musical by numbers critics and writers.
