MIDNIGHT!
August 6-15, 2026
by David Epstein
Directed by Rene Fulton
A desperate director. A hidden writer. Gangsters on the clock.
In a grand suite at the Ritz-Carlton in 1950's NYC, a fading Hollywood director's high-stakes meeting spirals into glorious chaos. David Epstein's sharp, fast-moving farce brings together a self-taught Bronx writer hiding in the bar cabinet, a debt due at midnight, and an ensemble of characters — all colliding behind doors that never stop slamming. Witty and deliciously unpredictable.
All to honor classroom teachers, through Summer Break Theatre.
Educator tickets are always FREE
*If the show is sold out, we will provide a waiting list.*
Please note:
There is NO PERFORMANCE on August 16.
Thank you!
“Written by David Epstein and first produced in New York City, in 2005, this hilarious screwball comedy is finding new life in Austin and it is well worth seeing…This entire ensemble shows expert timing, sharp, physical, comedy, and quick wit.”
