Steeped in history and quiet grandeur, the Scottish Rite Theater stands as a landmark of storytelling in the heart of Austin. With its vaulted architecture, rich woodwork, and echoes of performances past, the space carries a sense of presence that lingers long after the lights go down. Originally built for ritual, reflection, and gathering, it now serves as a stage for shared experience—where audiences are drawn into something larger than themselves. It’s the kind of environment where atmosphere does half the work, making it an ideal setting for Abductee, a film that thrives on tension, memory, and the feeling that something unseen is always just out of reach.

$10 - Tickets available at the door or on Tixtree.

Abductee Synopsis

As Andrew becomes convinced of extraterrestrial interference, the film delves into a gripping narrative that explores the impact of belief, trauma, and the bonds that hold siblings together.
