Topfer Theatre at ZACH Theatre Center

A new 30,000 square foot iconic structure now sits on the shores of Lady Bird Lake, the Topfer Theatre, clad in bright blue aluminum panels, offers 428 seats with excellent acoustics, state-of-the-art performance equipment, intimate sight lines, fully trapped stage and fly tower and outstanding public lobby spaces and lounges. The balcony overlooking the People’s Plaza is used for new commissioned brief plays available to the public before shows.  The large rain garden fronting the park is designed to capture and clean that important first inch of rainwater that otherwise would wash dust and dirt in to the lake. The entrance to the theatre faces ZACH’s campus, now three theatres and a production and rehearsal facility, and is flanked by two very large glass curtains that theatre-goers enter through to the mystery and delight within.
