The Ivy House is a tale of love, love lost, memories and escape. Seven characters' stories intertwine through the past, present and future and fall safely into the confines of the Ivy House, an imaginary place where they go to re-live their memories.

The Ivy House shall be performed at the Austin landmark - Victorian house, Eponymous Garden. Rather than a conventional theatre performance, the play takes place in different rooms within the house. The audience is encouraged to move through the house to fully experience the play.

Notice: The Ivy House is for mature audiences only

* Bottle Alley Theatre Company and Eponymous Garden would like to ask all audience members to park along the street on Waller St in regards to Garden St. Thank you.

"SVT's fundraiser (Salon Vanguard) was just crowded enough to feel convivial, with the catered feast and the live jazz and the old-timey pop tunes and the sidecar-making bartenders and the parlor games and the guest performers perfectly arranged within the elegant architecture and landscaping of Eponymous Garden.”
