The VORTEX is the East Austin destination for dinner, drinks, and a show.
The Full VORTEX Experience
Taste Patrizi’s top-rated Italian food. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails from The Butterfly Bar. Hear free live music outside on the garden stage. Then, step inside The VORTEX theatre for an unforgettable, only-in-Austin, live theatrical experience.
For the full experience, we recommend arriving by 6:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday or at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday so you have time to eat before the show begins. Wait times for food get longer the later you arrive.
Drinks are allowed in the theatre, but meals are not.

Seeking guidance from different faiths, their love of each other is ultimately the chosen path as Marlon is diagnosed with a terminal condition. From food to laughter, this play reveals the truths around one’s spiritual journey and one’s own reality.
