Designed with help from Daniel Rodriguez, the teaser flyer for “The Absence of Everything” is up! UPDATE: The production is on hiatus until after the Dark Tour concludes in October.
Apologies for the delay in updating the main site here; we are considering closing this page down as it is more efficient to update our stuff via our social media.
Nevertheless, here are the slew if things that HAVE occurred lately!
1. “Church of Winter” audio play featuring a cast split between Italy and the US. Not the same as the live cast, so do watch it here:
2. Another music video for Down Chamber for his track “Eyes In The Trees”. It follows the Dark Tour horror formula we have mastered in our stage productions. Enter if you dare…
3. DIGITAL TEXTUAL OVERTURE! As promised, our coffee shop variety show was published today, September 18, amd features a slew of familiar faces! Watch it now:
Sorry for the delay in content here on the main page. We have had a TON of shows in June and more coming in July. Let’s review some of the happenings thus far:
– Back on June 10th, we had our first ever “Backroom Karaoke” show featuring the voices of Andrea Lorin and Katherine Orozco-Verderber. They sang 90s and 2000s pop hits live on Facebook Live (a medium we hadn’t tried yet).
– Yesterday, June 16th, we celebrated Premature Punchline’s 10 year BIRTHDAY by doing a mini-show for a small crowd on Zoom. We performed a brand new game called “Art Show” in which PPers must quickly draw fantastic art pieces while the audience votes on the winners.
– Episodes of “Sonic Sway” will be released on YouTube. These five episodes will break up the show into the five different improvised techno songs. The first is viewable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ2vk68gRmI&t=167s
– “Groucho Max” is going on a seasonal hiatus until more episodes become developed. All previous episodes are still viewable on Youtube.
– Also, this site has been fickle so we are strongly considering being rid of zerountitled(dot)com and jump onto another website. So this may be one of the final posts until we push for the new website (where ever that may be at)
So, perhaps you will see more posts here or we may just stick with our social media outlets to get the word out about our shows.

“Sonic Sway Easter Show” Trujillo & Oringe
The gang that leads the “Sonic Sway” project recently performed another live and improvised show on April 4, 2021 at 3:00 in the afternoon.
Performing with keyboards, synth, drum machine, and guitar were James Trujillo Music, Mack Attack, and DJ Oringe. They played two sets, each with 3 improvised songs that were ten minutes each. The shows are viewable on Zero Untitled’s and Michael Verderber’s Facebooks as well as James Trujillo Music’s YouTube page.

October 25 – the date we have all been waiting for! The premiere of the first project of the Zero Untitled Uncharted Media In-House Festival, or ZUUM-In Fest for short! Below you will find the digital play “The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” written and directed by Katherine Orozco-Verderber and starring Kolby Hagel, Michael Verderber, and Ms. Orozco-Verderber as well.
“The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” is a situational comedy about a hapless father and an overworked kindergarten teacher’s ongoing battle with bratty Annabelle and her love of lighters. The character of “Annabelle” has made appearances in several ZU works throughout the years (dating all the way to 2012), so what better mascot to kick off the festival with then our very own trouble-making child character?
The next ZUUM-In productions are as follows:
– “Wait, Wait – You Did What?!”
– “Innocuous”
– “For Those Soft and Lonesome Times”
– “Church of the Winter”
Enjoy the first production below:
Promotional aesthetics for the performances in the ZUUM-In Fest are being made and promoted. For the first production, “The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” by Katherine Orozco-Verderber, the following aesthetic has been created from famous internet images that promote the play and the actors performing in the piece.
“Remains of Neverland” cast getting ready
We have some Zoom-style plays coming up and we need ACTORS and DIRECTORS! If you are interested in getting involved (and are not already a member of our Active group), then LIKE or COMMENT your interest on our Facebook or email us here: zero_untitled_films@yahoo.com and let us know what you’re interested in! We need a headcount. Yes, you can live on the other side of the world and STILL be involved. You just need decent internet.
Zero Untitled “ZUUM In” Festival
Zero Untitled is officially announcing our first ever ZUUM-IN Digital Play Festival, or as we are calling it ZUUM In Fest. It’s ZU, plus Zoom, and In-House = Zero Untitled Uncharted Media Fest! This will be a series of 4 to 5 short plays that are staged via Zoom or Skype, in August or September.
In short, I am to aim for a mix of plays that acknowledge Zoom (think: the new Parks and Recreation episode), ones that acknowledge that there is an interface of some kind (our The Job Interviews series), perhaps a one-man show, or (what we are really hoping for), something we haven’t done yet. I want to explore Zero Untitled’s creativity. For now, this will be an in-house festival (meaning, only ZU writers for now).
The rules and guidelines (which may be subject to change, pending unforeseen problems) are as following:
We are really pushing for creativity in this endeavor as I KNOW we are very talented in weird elements, so let’s push it further. Selected plays will be cast in quarantine and productions WILL be filmed for distribution on www.zerountitled.com and on our YouTube account. Please note that one page of dialogue is about a minute of performance.
We would PREFER that playwrights direct their own productions (these will be filmed in screen capture by our crew), but you may offer up the play without your directing expertise. Please note on script or email whether you prefer to direct your own script. Playwrights MAY also act in their own productions.
Not sure if you are a member of Zero Untitled? Email us and we will let you know!
