Breaking String brings New (and old) Russian Drama to Texas, and builds bridges between the vibrant Austin and Moscow theater scenes. (And recently, we crossed the baltic to explore the genius of Ibsen.)

In January, we started 2011 off with our New Russian Drama Festival and our full production of Olga Mukhina's Flying. In April, we made a research trip to Moscow's Golden Mask Festival and in June we delivered our critically-acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya, featuring the world premiere of Graham Schmidt's new translation. In October we partner with Penfold Theatre to mount Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts.

And now we are putting together an exciting 2012, starting with the 2nd annual New Russian Drama Festival, featuring a full production of The Schooling of Bento Bonchev by one the great lights of Russian theater, Maksym Kurochkin.

Come join us.
