During home stage renovations, the beloved children’s theatre brings fan-favorites to venues across San Antonio. Photo: Magik Theatre, used with permission.

The Show Must Go On: Magik Theatre Takes the City by Storm

In the theatre world, they say “the show must go on” even when there is no theatre. Magik Theatre, San Antonio’s premier theatre company for young audiences, is serving up a tasty solution to that very dilemma. While their iconic Beethoven Hall venue undergoes renovations in early 2026, the magic is moving to stages across the city. (Magik Theatre, 2026)

Starting February 28, San Antonians can devour the popular production of Dragons Love Tacos at three local venues. Looking for something that comes to you? Magik on the Road is also booking performances of Red Riding Hood for educational and family events.

What to Expect: Spicy Surprises

  • An all-new cast and original choreography.
  • Fiery special effects and “controlled chaos.”
  • Director’s Note: “I want the audience to feel like they’re part of the dragon taco party,” says director Angie Hernandez. “Partying with dragons is never boring!”

Pro-Tip: Discounts are available for seniors, first responders, military, educators, and students. Look for the “four-pack” ticket deals to save on family outings.

If you can’t make it to the theatre, Magik will bring the theatre to you. From now through July, Magik on the Road is booking Allison Gregory’s dynamic retelling of Red Riding Hood. Magik on the Road performances are not available March 7-15, May 23-31.

  • The Vibe: A fresh, funny take where the scariest thing about the wolf is his ego.

Experience the ultimate genre-mashup. ‘Art Show! With Captain Skinner’ blends the soothing vibes of Bob Ross with the cosmic gore of The Evil Dead. Photo: ETCH, used with permission.

🎨 ART SHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNER: Bob Ross Meets The Evil Dead… In Space

Get ready to paint some happy little nightmares. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a PBS instructional show was hijacked by cosmic horror and psychedelic chaos, your questions are about to be answered in the most vibrant, gory way possible. (EG PR, 2026)

ARTSHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNER has officially landed.

Premiering on YouTube and Substack, this series follows the doomed misadventures of a television crew trying to film a “how-to” art show in the furthest reaches of outer space.

Captain Skinner and his tiny crew—including a stop-motion Space Cowboy—battle more than just perspective and lighting. They are constantly thwarted by:

  • Unpredictable meteor showers
  • Intrusive, existential thoughts
  • The stark horror of an uncaring cosmos

The Format: The series consists of 10 episodes, each roughly 15 minutes long. Every episode features Skinner creating a stunning, unique piece of artwork amidst “hyper-phantasmagorical” slapstick and body horror. It’s a love letter to classics like The Joy of Painting and The Secret City, but drenched in gore and off-the-wall comedy.

  • Film: Directed the acclaimed short The Lizard Laughed.

Produced by ETCH

This series is brought to life by ETCH, an independent production powerhouse specializing in the provocative and the horrific. The team includes:

  • Philip Gelatt: Emmy and WGA Award-winner (Love Death + Robots, The Spine of Night).
  • Will Battersby & Morgan Galen King: The creative forces behind The Spine of Night.
