A five-time Tony Award recipient who grew up in Texas, playwright Terrence McNally (1938–2020) was a defining force in American theatre for six decades through plays such as Master Class, Frankie & Johnny in the Claire de Lune, and Love! Valour! Compassion! As a continuation of McNally’s legacy of championing bold new voices, the Terrence McNally Foundation in association with Rattlestick Theater presents a festival of five new play readings featuring leading talent from Austin and around the country. The weekend will include an academic symposium at UT’s Harry Ransom Center, where the legacy of "the bard of American theater” lives on through his archived papers.
The festival schedule, artists, and free ticket reservations will be available in Fall 2026.
