Our next project went officially underway last week (with rehearsals); the show is called “Anti-Gone Wrong: An Adaptation of an Adaptation of Adaptation of Sophocles’s Adaptation of Antigone” or just “Anti-Gone Wrong” for short.

The text, written by Barry Berryhill based on an idea by Michael Verderber, is a random goofball “speedy” version of the epic tragedy by Sophocles.  The original “Antigone” is based on the familial struggle between newly crowned ruler of Thebes, Creon, with his niece Antigone over whether they should give her brother (who happened to be a major threat to Thebes) a proper burial.

“Anti-Gone Wrong” is a street-theatre style play-within-a-play  featuring two bumbling actors trying their best (which is actually their worst) at staging “Antigone.”

Performance dates are June 28 and 29 at the Blue Room in Fore Hall at Texas A&M Univ- Kingsville.  FREE admission.  See the “Anti-Gone Wrong” page for more information.

Last night, Zero Untitled’s 39th production, “Heart and Stole” premiered at the Blue Room at Texas A&M University- Kingsville.  We had a packed house  with standing room only and the crowd seemed to be very pleased with the comic antics of the cast.

The show continues tonight (Thurs, May 6) and Tuesday, May 11 at 7:30 at the Blue Room in Sam Fore Hall.  Admission is only $1 – come early, we can only accept the first 40 patrons!

The full-length comedy “Heart and Stole” (written by Michael Verderber and adapted to the stage by Gabriel Ruiz)  is Zero Untitled’s next major project.

The play follows one night with Chris, Benji, Ellen and Ronnie; four college students set out to stalk Chris’s ex-girlfriend.  Through their endeavors, they discover more than they bargained for,  more about themselves, and that Benji can be a real whiner.

The show is slated for a late April – early May production.  See the main page for cast details.

The “Divine Comedy” themed Zero Untitled and Gamerz Elite collaboration “Into Hell: A Trek Through Dante’s Inferno” proved to be a success on its one-night performance.  We had a crowd of well over 215+ people is attendance.

An hour into the performance, the line still had not decreased at all, so we had to bump up the “5 at a Time” to “8 at a time” just to accommodate the crowd.  About forty minutes into the performance, a local religious organization came to protest the performance.  Some even shouted at the people waiting in line to get in.  This is very ironic and hypocritical considering that Dante Alighieri wrote this text as a warning to Christians to NOT sin.

From our sources, some of the protesters went to the show and after realizing the positive message, began a prayer circle right outside of the building.

Wild stuff.

The crowd did not cease until sometime after midnight.  Please note, the show started at 8 pm!

As an actor, director, and theatre fan, I have worked on a lot of shows, and I have to say that I am probably most proud of this particular show.   Of the 33 people involved in the show, none of the actors had much experience.  95% of the cast, had never performed in a live theatre piece before.  The fact that students of all different backgrounds culminated together to put on this show, without a flaw, is outstanding.

I have never worked with a group so ambitious and excited about one project before.
