PrePunch w/ Crowd

Our latest production, Textual Overture’s Pre-Valentine’s Day show, was a packed house of standing room only! With a huge set of performances, troupes, plays, and acts, there was something for everyone. The only thing we didn’t have this time around was a music act, which is usually pretty standard. Here are some photos of the event.

Our set list was:

• Opening Poem
• Consequences by Michael Verderber (featuring Merideth Harvey, Crishad Williams, Zulema Villarreal, and Charles “Chuck” Lee)
• Dramatica (One On One featuring Cristian C., Ben O., Mike M., and Shad W.)
• Open Mic
• Poetry by Julio Martinez
• Premature Punchline (Dating Game featuring Cristian C., Stephanie W, Peter P, and Merideth H)
• Poetry (Verderber serenading Katy)
• Heartbreak Rodeo by David Gutierrez (feat. Ben Ortiz and Merideth Harvey)
• Open Mic, pt 2
• Stace’s Standup
• Dramatica (Sessions feat. Ben O, Cristian C., Shad, Mike M, and Kearby)

This year’s Valentine’s Day show will be under the helm of the Textual Overture branch. The variety show of theatre, music, improv, and poetry will happen on February 13, 2019 at one of our favorite venues, Cafe 5, in Kingsville.

So far on the schedule will be romantic poetry, improvisational dramatic scenes with a V-Day theme by the Dramatica team, improv comedy by the Premature Punchline branch, the world premiere of “Heartbreak Rodeo” (a new play by long-time ZU member David Gutierrez), and a revival of the drama “Consequences” by Michael Verderber.

What will the open mic? Come and find out! See you at the show.
