Austin independent theatre company The Filigree Theatre announces the new date for their annual Gold & Silver Gala, which will now take place on Saturday, June 22 from 7 - 11 p.m. at a private residence to be released to ticket-holders. The Gold & Silver Gala will celebrate Filigree's Fifth Anniversary Season with a retrospective of Filigree's first five seasons of critically acclaimed productions and a look ahead to Filigree's future. The evening will include hors d'oeuvres, champagne, desserts, raffle prizes, a silent auction, live music by Classical Guitarist Evan Taucher, Kendra Scott Pop Up Store and more. Additionally, details on Filigree's upcoming Season Six, including theme, productions, dates and audition dates will be announced during the Gala. For tickets, see here.

The Filigree Theatre's special Fifth Anniversary Season, under the theme The Woman in the Story, included David Rush's adaptation of Sophocles' classic play Antigone in the fall; Anna Ziegler's Photograph 51 in the winter; and Julie Zaffarano's new work, Above the Fold in the spring. The Filigree Theatre is excited to have been able to share the incredible influence of these women with audiences, celebrating the fiercely brave Antigone, standing up for her convictions no matter the cost to herself; 1950s scientist Rosalind Franklin in a race with her male colleagues towards ground-breaking genetic discoveries; and Dorothy Walton, an ambitious young journalist in the 1930s trying to make a name for herself in a ruthless profession. Each of these women navigates the complex expectations and social nuance of their time while holding, like a guiding light, their own moral compass.
About Filigree's Fifth Anniversary Season
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 by creating thoughtful, innovative and challenging work for the stage. The company embraces the dual roots of the word 'Filigree' (filum 'thread' and granum 'seed') in its mission, with an aim to serve both as a SEED by originating work in Filigree's home-base of Austin, TX and as a THREAD by collaborating with artists and engaging audiences in other theatre hubs such as New York and Los Angeles.
The Filigree Theatre's annual season is structured to connect the past, present and future of theatre over the course of a three-show season. Each season is structured as follows: starting with the fall (past), represented by an older or classic play; then winter (present), represented by a current piece from a playwright living/working today; concluding with the spring (future) represented by a new work or world premiere. Each season is tied together with a common theme that runs throughout the three shows. The theme of Filigree Theatre's Fifth Anniversary Season is The Woman in the Story,
as it will take the audience on a journey with three strong, intelligent, independently-minded women who, each, in their own way (and in their own era), are fighting to survive in the proverbial 'man's world.'
