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.

Catch Premature Punchline Improv Comedy Troupe performing every Thursday night at Comics Live Downtown inside Bella Luna in beautiful downtown Corpus Christi!

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

August 17 – Penalty Hat

August 24 – Standard Show
