“Nightmare of Oz” auditions

 

The forthcoming NIGHTMARE OF OZ will have its first round of auditions on WEDNESDAY, September 12, at 5:30 in room 102 in Fore Hall. Auditions end at 8:00. Be prepared for a cold reading from the text. Compared to the last 3 years, NIGHTMARE… will be a linear story and not an improvised horror show. There will be lines that must be followed and there is little room for improvisation.
The following characters will be read, but that does not mean those are the only roles we are casting.
GOOD COP – (Lead) Akin to the Following Nurse, but has many lines.
BAD COP – (Lead) Akin to the Tour Guide, but is the central-most character
TIN MAN – (supporting) a mechanic; Quick to anger, and very shifty

SCARECROW – (supporting) a preacher; Educated, evasive, and proper
COWARDLY LION – (supporting) an asylum inmate; calm and sinister
OZ – (minor) politician; pompous and influential
BOQ – (supporting) confidential informant; authoritative and aggressive
 
The second round will be announced soon.

Fish and Giggles

Last night’s production of Premature Punchline’s “Fish and Giggles” (and our 63rd production) went off without a hitch. Well, maybe a few comic hitches.  New to the cast and crew of PrePunch was Rolando Rios, who previously appeared in “Into Hell”, and Rebekah Ramos, who previously appeared in “Relapse in Wonderland”.  Making his acting debut for PrePunch was writer Julio Martinez who played the role of Professor Caffeine in the skit “True College Learning”.

Next up on the ZU schedule is the editing for the film “Unheard”, which was filmed in the summer in Austin, TX.  And in addition to that, the next mainstage production “Nightmare of Oz”.  Look for those soon.

Aug-Sept events for ZU

Our next film, “Unheard”, is still being edited, with a few scenes being filmed here and there.  We anticipate a release in a few months.  However, the next project coming up is “Fish and Giggles” – a Premature Punchline show much like last year’s “Welcome Freshmen”. 

 

The college-themed show will premiere Friday, September 7th @ 7:00 pm in the Blue Room.  This will be a FREE EVENT; rarely does PrePunch do a free show – so this is NOT to be missed.

 

Scouting for “Unheard”

Zero Untitled’s collaborative film, “Unheard” is currently in pre-production. The cast/crew were in Austin this weekend for the PrePunch show and to scout for possible locales.  Here is a pic of one of the potential film spots.  More on this project later this month!

The film chronicles the life of two homeless people dealing with the daily trials and tribulations  of their struggle.

Promotional still for “Wandering Blvd”

Here is a promotional still for tonight’s production of “Wandering Blvd” as part of Textual Overture.  The performance will be on Thursday, July 26th at 8:00 pm at Cafe 5 in Kingsville, TX.  This is a free event.

Textual Overture this Thursday!

Our on-going experimental short form and music project, Textual Overture, continues this week with another performance at CAFE 5 in Kingsville, Tx.  The performance will be on Thursday, July 26th at 8:00 pm and feature a slew of new songs, poems, performance pieces, and short plays.  This event will be FREE.
