Zero Untitled celebrates our 21st birthday today!

We have produced and performed films, plays, immersive theatre, children’s theatre, adaptations, performance art, music performances, experimental theatre, fire breathing showcases, puppetry, mime shows, improv comedy, improv drama, clowning, and more!

We have staged shows or filmed in the following countries: England, South Korea, Honduras, Mexico, Greece, Italy, and most recently, Ireland!

Our plays, novels, poetry, and experimental pieces have been published worldwide.

See you on the stage!

“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.

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

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.

Zero Untitled’s 90th production “Carnival Night” had its one-day run! The event which was held at Youga Yoga was a collection of short works both new and old. The night featured three events:

“Pollock’s Process” – a body art piece directed and conceived by Katherine Orozco. Her piece is a body painting exercise used to embody the fluidity of the creative process by having multiple artists paint one persons canvas.

“The Mindless Men” – a revisited piece last staged twice last year. This is a pseudo online and live piece. The actors (or Mindless Men) await commands that are given ala improvisationally. The audience livestreamed from YouTube and posted commands on Facebook.

MIMES! – As it often does, the Zero Untitled mimes ran around downtown Corpus Christi doing what mimes do – mock people.

Check out the main page for more information!

We have two projects lined up for release within just a few days of each other! First up, the film version of “Those Present at the Time of My Death”; this was originally a play we staged during “Causa Mortis” but the film version will be released in just a few days (if not today!).

After that, we will have our next Corpus performance – “Carnivale Night.” This will be a series of performance art pieces including:

– A body painting Happening called “Pollock’s Process” (directed by Katherine Orozco)
– An auxiliary performance by Beth Marie Cantu
– A revival of “The Mindless Men” (a livestream and Facebook improv-piece)
– and a handful of mimes!

“Carnivale Night” will be performed for FREE at Youga Yoga Space in Corpus Christi, TX on Friday night (May 15th) starting at 8:00 p.m.
