The official teaser trailer for HELLMOUTH has been released on social media and now on YouTube. Watch it above! The video was directed by Daniel Rodriguez.

Hey folks! We are adding an additional admission OPTION! For $15, there will be a NO TOUCH option. Meaning: the actors will NOT touch you, but they will still “act in your direction” and you might still be asked to participate in some no-contact activities or might get a BIT bumped (towards the end). We want you to still enjoy the experience!

Thus, for those choosing the NO TOUCH option, you will be given a glowstick to wear on your neck to convey to the actors in the dark that you are a NO TOUCH guest.

Interested in what all of this “Hellmouth” talk is about? Here is a hint below in the form of some rehearsal photos. Pictured are several cast with the crew filling in as surrogate audiences.

THOMPSON – Bailey Goodrich
LILLITH – Katherine Orozco-Verderber
STACY – Jo De Leon
BLAIR – Sally Guzman
DESMOND – Julio Martinez
JESS – Aubrey Gracia
DEV – Daniel Rodriguez
RILEY – Fabiola Joanis
HARLAN – Diego Trevino
BEATRIX – Emilia Gomez

(Extras TBA soon)

Zero Untitled are gearing up for a busy summer in 2024. In addition to rehearsals of our new dramatic puppet film, “The Absence of Everything” by Katherine Orozco-Verderber (see other post below), we have three other works around the bend!

Continued performances of “Kame’s Golden Tune” and “Ba Pot-Bellied Pigs” will occur on July 6 and 7 as part of the Texas State Museum of Asian Culture’s Tanabata Star Festival and their birthday party, respectively. Like before, expect performances to happen on a cycle throughout the museum. See the above flyer for more information. UPDATE: July 7th has been POSTPONED due to HURRICANE.

And speaking of puppetry, the new Julio Martinez poetic work, featuring a crab puppet, will be shot on location in the Caribbean! Locations being considered are Puerto Rico, St. Criox, or St. Thomas, depending on location availability. This project should reach completion in early July.

A brand new kamishibai written and developed by Daniel Rodriguez had its World Premiere at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures as part of the Cherry Blossom Festival on April 13! The Cherry Blossom Festival brought in over 600 people; all had the opportunity to watch our shows that were performed in rotation for several hours.

“Kame’s Golden Tune” is based on the traditional Japanese story about a man who finds a singing turtle. All goes well until the turtle is kidnapped by a nefarious con man!

The play, performed by the playwright, was performed alongside “Ba Pot-Bellied Pigs”, which was performed by new Zero Untitled actor Bailey Goodrich!

NEXT PERFORMANCE:

May 18th, 2024 – 3:00 (both plays)

July 6, 2024 – 6:00 – 9:00 (part of the Tanabata Star Festival activities)

July 7, 2024 – 12:00 -5:00 (part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration activities)

Update! Here are some images from the March 22 performance at Jubilee Kingsville! More images are found on the show page!

The opening night of the 2024 version of our murder-mystery improv show “Death In The Aisles” was a wild ride featuring suspects like the estranged son, bitter fashion designer, disgruntled ex-cop, kooky librarians, and other bizarre characters!
