As of July 2001, the Subterranean Theatre Company has gone on hiatus. Our founder and artistic director, Ken Webster, is now the new artistic director of the Hyde Park Theatre, which was for many years the STC home base. Our archives, reaching back to the company's founding in 1988, may be found below.

Look HERE for an Austin Chronicle story about our company's somewhat comical run-in with several (very understanding) Austin police officers.
