Sorry for the delay in content here on the main page. We have had a TON of shows in June and more coming in July. Let’s review some of the happenings thus far:

– Back on June 10th, we had our first ever “Backroom Karaoke” show featuring the voices of Andrea Lorin and Katherine Orozco-Verderber. They sang 90s and 2000s pop hits live on Facebook Live (a medium we hadn’t tried yet).
– Yesterday, June 16th, we celebrated Premature Punchline’s 10 year BIRTHDAY by doing a mini-show for a small crowd on Zoom. We performed a brand new game called “Art Show” in which PPers must quickly draw fantastic art pieces while the audience votes on the winners.

– Episodes of “Sonic Sway” will be released on YouTube. These five episodes will break up the show into the five different improvised techno songs. The first is viewable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ2vk68gRmI&t=167s

– “Groucho Max” is going on a seasonal hiatus until more episodes become developed. All previous episodes are still viewable on Youtube.

– Also, this site has been fickle so we are strongly considering being rid of zerountitled(dot)com and jump onto another website. So this may be one of the final posts until we push for the new website (where ever that may be at)

So, perhaps you will see more posts here or we may just stick with our social media outlets to get the word out about our shows.

“Sonic Sway Easter Show” Trujillo & Oringe

“Sonic Sway Easter Show” Trujillo & Oringe

The gang that leads the “Sonic Sway” project recently performed another live and improvised show on April 4, 2021 at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Performing with keyboards, synth, drum machine, and guitar were James Trujillo Music, Mack Attack, and DJ Oringe. They played two sets, each with 3 improvised songs that were ten minutes each. The shows are viewable on Zero Untitled’s and Michael Verderber’s Facebooks as well as James Trujillo Music’s YouTube page.

Enjoy the latest episode of GROUCHO MAX, that discusses why the world hates rock band Nickelback so much. Content is available on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/AHoTGwjVa2w

This episode stars Andrea Lorin, Julio Martinez, Merideth Harvey, and Michael Verderber (as The Grouch). Editing and post-production by Amber Badger.

The first first rehearsal of the forthcoming techno collaboration between James Trujillo Music and DJ Oringe was live-streamed via Facebook Live and YouTube on Wednesday, March 10th at 3:00. Having never attempted a live-streamed rehearsal, the guys (Robert and Michael, respectively) felt it would be a good opportunity to show folks what they had in mind with the project. The entire improvised stream lasted about an hour and a half and utilized both traditional electronic music instruments and less traditional, like the guitar.

Another performance is loosely scheduled for April once other projects have concluded. In the meantime, they will likely stream future rehearsals and dabble with other instruments until they find a satisfactory set up. Assisting as crew was McKinna Allen.

Dates have been established for our upcoming Zoom productions. Julio Martinez’s monologue play “For Those Soft and Lonesome Times” will be performed on March 10th and 12th, with back-to-back performances at 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM (US Central Time).  Four performances total. Free performances, but donations are encouraged.

The performance is directed by Julio Martinez and stars Emilia Gomez as “Cattalina.”

Following a similar schedule, the Anel Carmona play “The Church of Winter” will also have back-to-back performances. They are scheduled for March 22nd and 26th at 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM (US Central Time). Also, four performances total. Free performances, but donations are encouraged.

This play will feature one of the two different casts. Starring in the live show will be Gabriel Ruiz and Stephanie Wright. The play is directed by Michael Verderber and has technical assistance from Pilar Angulo.

The second cast will be recorded as a YouTube audio play.

EVENT pages will also be posted here and on our social media accounts.

Check out our latest episode of “Groucho Max” called “…Hates Mansplaining” which tackles that and the “Well Actually” guys. See on YouTube here:

We have a new sketch vlog show called GROUCHO MAX that just premiered on YouTube! The show features The Grouch (played by Michael Verderber) who complains and then interviews different colorful characters. The cast for the pilot episode is Robert James Trujillo, Amber Badger, Mike McCullough, and Katherine Orozco-Verderber.

Watch it here:

More episodes featuring different topics and different characters are already being produced.

The new Julio Martinez monologue and entry into the ZUUM-IN Play Festival is aptly titled “For Those Soft and Lonesome Times”. The melancholic piece will be performed by Emilia Gomez in February (dates are pending).

Cattalina just moved into her first apartment, but she’s having problems adjusting to the change. To help, she makes a video where she talks about how it feels to be alone in her new place, her relationship with her parents, and the friends she misses.
