The Scottish Rite Children's Theatre is Austin's oldest surviving live theater venue, built in 1869 as a German opera house and purchased by the Freemasons in the early 1900s. In the tradition of historic theaters, period costumes and hand-painted backdrops from the late 1800s are still used today in many of the high-quality productions. The original plays are adapted from well-known children's fairytales and stories, with a modern twist on the tales, which are written to be interactive with the children in the audience and include positive life lessons. Throughout each play, children are encouraged to help the hero defeat the villain and participate in the fun. The Scottish Rite Children's Theatre seating includes a special reserved area at the front of the stage, where children can sit on carpet squares and interact with the actors if they wish. The actors also mingle with the theater-goers after the shows, signing autographs and posing for pictures with the children.
