So, Zero Untitled has dedicated all of March to “March Music Month” to allow our talent individuals to work on all of those music projects we just don’t have time for. So, now, there is no excuse! Robert and Andrea are working on piano music, Michael is working on some score and a metal song, Zeta and Julio are working on some hip hop tracks, a new musical is in development, and long-time collaborator, DJ Oringe, is developing some new music as well. Plenty is going on so here are some pics from last night’s rehearsal.

Here are some pics of just a few of the works in development.

 Classically-trained actor Tim Mooney conducted an acting workshop and did two performances of two of his one-man shows. In the Blue Room, in collaboration with ZU, he staged a preview performance of “Criteria” and at the Little Theatre, in collaboration with TAMUK’s French Club, he performed “Moliere Than Thou.” He also conducted an acting workshop on March 5. Here are some pictures from the events. Members of Zero Untitled capitalized on his presence by attending his events, participating in his work, or running his tech.
