Premature Punchline literally took it to the streets on Friday, October 5th, 2018. The troupe did two performances crammed with classic improv games, twisted up originals, competitive absurdity, a conga line, and even a bad art challenge during Penalty Hat.  The performance featured newcomer Gabriella Herrera along with veterans Robert “Poodle” Trujillo, Andrea Lorin, Michael Verderber, Julio Martinez, Jose “Zeta” Villarreal, Stephanie Wright, and Dawn Robertson. See more photos on our Facebook page!

Premature Punchline will return to one our favorite Corpus venues – Urbana on the first Friday of October for the city’s Artwalk celebration. Last time, we did an outdoor show, which was an absolute blast! Come this time to see where we set up this time!

There will be two different performances with two different sets so you won’t see the same show twice! We will perform at 6:00 pm and then again at 8:15 pm! This is a FREE event, so don’t miss it.

 Once again, volunteers for “Dramatica” put on another improvisational drama show recently. The performance including classic improv exercises as well as the workshopping of new scenarios for development in dramatic situations instead of comedic one.
The event was lead by Julio Martinez, in collaboration with TAMUK’s English Club.

The experimentally-scored science fiction short film, ZELLEN, began lensing in early September. Written and directed by Michael Verderber, the dystopian project features Kylie McIntosh as RIGGS, a woman living in an oppressive world in an attempt to acquire an item of mysterious purpose.

Cast and crew for the film include Katherine Orozco-Verderber, Amber Badger, Josue Villarreal, Julio Martinez, Zulema Villarreal, and others. Full cast and crew info will be posted soon.

Set to the backdrop of electronic music, noise, and ambience, the film is a radical departure from previously filmed Zero Untitled projects. Filming will be done sporadically throughout September and aiming towards an October release, online. Any special premieres will be announced.
