COMING SOON: Destination by George Ayres

Fresh from its New York City premiere, George Ayres’ Destination makes its Austin debut in a new production from Jarrott Productions, coming this May!

The Southwest Regional Premiere of this poignant new play, directed by JP Founding Artistic Director David R. Jarrott, features a cast of JP and Austin favorites.

When 83-year-old widower and retired architect Howard Wright faces unexpected personal crises, he escapes his Houston assisted living facility, determined to break free from his own stasis and take matters into his own hands. Destination is a bittersweet yet humorous look at life and love among a generation that is on the losing end of both.

Performances run May 14–31, 2026, at Trinity Street Playhouse.

With Destination, former Austinite George Ayres draws from his own family history to tell a distinctly Texas story—one that reminds us it’s never too late for life to surprise us.

Thank you for 10 years of Jarrott Productions!

What a ride it has been, from our first season—which had only one production, Freud’s Last Session—to our recently concluded season, which included three solid critical and box office favorites, POTUS, The Shark Is Broken, and Dial M For Murder!

Since 2015 Jarrott Productions has brought you 21 Main Stage productions, 4 Digital productions, and 3 Workshop productions. These stories have touched on family dynamics, white privilege, political hijinks, murder, duplicity, aging, morality, race, tribes, displacement, sexual awakening, sacrifice, missing pets, and kissing frogs.

And we have more stories to tell.

Since 2015, Jarrott Productions Artistic Director has been David R. Jarrott. He has guided the company, chosen the titles, produced or co-produced all of the plays, acted in several of the productions, as well as directing many of them.

Since 2018, Will Gibson Douglas has been a valued member of this family, as an actor, House Manager, director, producer, and most recently as Managing Director.

And beginning in June 2025, Will becomes the new Artistic Director of Jarrott Productions, while David continues as Founding Artistic Director but steps back from much of the day-to-day administrative duties.

Help us secure our future for 10 more years!

For the past year, Jarrott Productions has received no national, state, or local grant funding. And any future City of Austin arts grant funding is currently in a state of flux, with no definite resolution or timeline in place. We have relied, and continue to rely, on contributions from our generous patrons and supporters.

In line with national trends, less than 50% of our seasonal production budgets are recouped from ticket sales.

As we look ahead together, no gift is too small to help us continue to tell universal, relatable, stories.
