ABOUT THE FILIGREE THEATRE
"To filigree” means "to make by hand and with much skill.”
The Filigree Theatre is an independent theatre company committed to producing high-level, professional theatre and to creating thoughtful, innovative, challenging work for the stage. We embrace the dual roots of the word ‘Filigree’ (filum 'thread' and granum ‘seed’) in our mission, with an aim to serve both as a SEED by originating work in our home-base of Austin, TX and as a THREAD by collaborating with artists and engaging audiences in other theatre hubs such as New York & Los Angeles.
Connecting to the past...planting the seeds of the future
Each Filigree Season is structured to be comprised of three shows, connecting “Past” (honoring the theatre cannon) in the Fall; “Present” (playwrights living and working today) in the Winter; and “Future” (World Premieres/New Works) in the Spring, that are tied together with a common theme that runs throughout the season.
The Filigree Theatre’s SEVENTH SEASON themed “BODY & SOUL”, opens with “SUMMER AND SMOKE” by Tennessee Williams and is followed by the Winter 2026 production of “THE LAST MATCH” by Anna Ziegler and the Spring 2026 World Premiere of Kathleen Fletcher's "TAKE CARE OF MY FRIEND"
The Filigree Theatre is the winner of Four Austin Theatre Critics Awards, Two B. Iden Payne Awards (17 nominations) & Three Broadway World Awards for our 2024-25 Season (Season Six 'Masks & Mirrors).
