Performance of “The Devil’s Haven”

The latest edition of Textual Overture has wrapped up an eclectic performance on Thursday, September 21 at Cafe 5 in Kingsville, TX.

Among the performances were new theatre pieces written by Julio Martinez and Michael Verderber.

Martinez’s called “The Devil’s Haven” was a sound-and-text based work that featured performances by Martinez, Josue Villarreal,  Tristan Wolfe, Angelina Rios, Kylie McIntosh, and Annette Otero Otero.

Verderber’s play, a silly golf comedy called “Dogleg” starred Amy Ziyad, Matthew Krug, and Vanessa Guerra with a cameo by Verderber.

The artwork (in form of print) of Mary Maliha was introduced by Katherine Orozco-Verderber. Poetry and open mic performances featured Allison Wonderland, Josue Villarreal, Robert Trujillo, Kylie McIntosh, and others.

Every OTHER week is a different style of show. So last night’s performance was a Penalty Hat Night. Penalty Hat Night is a one-hour long game show where the PrePunch contestants get penalized for getting tough and often impossible questions wrong.

Every other week again is a regular improv night of several classic, original, and bizarre improv games with a heightened use of audience and immersion. Here is a schedule of shows that were just performed and ones upcoming.

July 13 – Standard Show

July 20 – Standard Show

July 27 – Standard Show

August 3 – Penalty Hat

August 10 – Standard Show
