Our bi-annual Outdoor Rehearsal has wrapped up for the week! We got to meet a LOT of really cool people and even had a several folks come all 4 nights! Not only did we shake the dust off, but got to introduce folks to what we do in our experimental theater company!
We played improv games like CATball, How Did You Do It?, dabbled in improvisational dramatic monologues and scenes, and even had a frisbee duel! Here are some pics of all of the random stuff we did! More pics have been posted on our Facebook pages.
For those interested in seeing what we are cooking for this coming season, we are having our annual “Outdoor Rehearsal” series on the TAMUK campus. Like last year, we will be outside of the Main Dining Hall / Cafeteria area (for the convenience of our student-actors) for two days. For the latter two days, we will be by the infamous Javelina statues.
We will be performing/rehearsing for everyone. We will present both comedic improv games with our Premature Punchline crew, some angst-ridden scene work with our Dramatica Team, and trying some new stuff to get the dust off, and more, all with the hopes that you will join us, hang out, see what we do, and just have a good time! This is a FREE event and there is no obligation to participate (but you would have more fun if you did!). All events start at 6:00.
Aug 20 @ 6:00 – Main Dining Hall / Cafeteria
Aug 21 @ 6:00 – Main Dining Hall / Cafeteria
Aug 22 @ 6:00 – Javelina Statues
Aug 23 @ 6:00 – Javelina Statues

Please join us in congratulating Kate Remelius for winning the Josie Award for Best Director for the play “Epitaph by Moonlight” in Queens, NY! The play, written by Michael Verderber, was produced by Zero Untitled – NYC and staged by the Woodside Players of Queens.
This is Zero Untitled’s third time being nominated for an award through the Josephine Foundation (we were nominated in 2017 for best performance by a female twice for Katherine Orozco-Verderber and Rose Gutierrez). While this is our first Josie win, this is our third theatrical award in the Big Apple since our first performance in 2017.
Although not a new branch, OBJECT-ionable Puppetry will be a new series of short works featuring puppets. At the moment, we will be constructing and designing projects with rod puppets instead of the more popular sock and marionette.
Primarily dealing with found objects (hence the name) as puppets, the projects will be quirky, experimental and done through various mediums. Although no specific puppet project is slated for release, we are looking at filming some of our homemade puppets for commercial use, skits, plays, or short film teasers. Here is a photo of the first puppets that are in development.
The recent private performance of the new mime play, “Mimes at The Library” was a rousing success, despite the silence from the mimes.
Co-produced by the folks at NAS-Kingsville, the play, written by Michael Verderber, was a children’s show designed to teach kids about the library’s many resources (books, magazines, internet accessibility, etc).
The cast included speaking roles from veterans Julio Martinez and Josue “Zeta” Villarreal. Mime performances were by Andrea Lorin, Katherine Orozco-Verderber, Ashley “Amp” Perez, Michael Verderber, and mime newcomer Faith Villarreal, premiering her new mime, Muriel.
More cast info is available on the show’s main page.
Our next production, “Mimes at The Library”, will be a private performance co-produced by the Station Library at NAS Kingsville.
The performance is designed to promote library resources and features reenactments of beloved children’s stories such as “The Three Pigs”, “The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar”, and others.
Performance date will be May 30, 2019 at 5:00 pm.
