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.

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.

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.

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.

The cast was Luis Zaragosa, Michael Mendez, Danny Cantu, Michael Verderber, and special guests Erik Helsing, and Austin-comedienne Maggie Maye.  Crowd-favorite games, such as Premature Quoteline and Party Quirks, were performed along with the skit “Wasabi Dog Delight”.  Maggie, Luis, and Mendez all did standup.  The performance, lasting from 9 pm until 12 am, was PrePunch’s longest performance yet.

Chu instructing Luis

Seven members of Zero Untitled received acting training from the Globe Theatre (Shakespeare’s primary performance space) on May 21 in London, England.  Under the teachings of Chu Owambala, the group received training in acting, mimesis, improvisational exercises, and script study.

ZU members who received training are the following (name following recent productions):

Samantha Garcia (Acoustical, Broken Wheels)

Rebecca Lopez (Relapse in Wonderland, Textual Overture)

Julio Martinez (Textual Overture, Premature Punchline writer)

Katherine Orozco (Acoustical,  Forward MIMEntum)

David Sabrio (The Rape of Lucrece, All the World’s a Stage)

Michael Verderber (Fate of Eights, Shattered)

Luis Zaragosa (Welcome Freshmen, Fate of Eights)

Those dirty mimes did it…again.  This time in London.  Tawd, Harvey, and Wren harassed (albeit silently) the residents of London on May 25th.  This production marks the second European show ZU has done (both were in the same week).  The other production was “All the World’s a Stage” (see below).
