Permanent Record

Permanent Record is a female-driven company, inspired in part by out-of-town connections. The company’s founder, actress Lindsey Markham, is originally from Austin, and worked in Chicago for a time as the literary manager of a theater company. However, as she discovered, “the Chicago theater scene is extremely competitive, and companies pounce on the rights to new shows the second they hit New York. After doing some research, I found out that the majority of plays that were off the table in Chicago hadn't been produced in Austin yet.”
