Salvage Vanguard Theater isn't your typical stage. This Austin-oriented nonprofit gives up-and-coming artists a place where they can get creative with performances. Instead of adhering to the status quo, they pioneer productions filled with energy, movement, and often, laughter.

For proof, check out any of the upcoming events at Salvage Vanguard. Thursdays through May 6, the theater will host a Comedy Bazaar! The recently unveiled show is a collection of sketches, all woven together by a common theme: A Brief History of Magic. You can even come to Salvage Vanguard Theater for a $10 yoga class on Saturday mornings. With so much to check out here, you should definitely swing by soon.

For a no-nonsense, high-quality theatrical experience, check out a performance at Salvage Vanguard Theater. Just a short trip from Elan East, this inviting theater venue offers audiences the opportunity to see powerful and experimental shows crafted by Austin-based artists. Visitors say you won’t find any artistic snobbery there. Instead, be prepared for a low-key atmosphere and engaging, original shows.

Their performances, which rarely walk the beaten path, are perfect for a thought-provoking evening. Audiences particularly enjoy their dark and dramatically compelling puppet shows. Just be sure to leave younger kids at home, as those performances sometimes deal with serious themes. There are also many more light-hearted shows. Plus, among the many classes offered by Salvage Vanguard Theater, there is a playmaking camp for tweens.
