1 Comment

Margo Jones Partnership company presents another original work!

A small cult wishes to resurrect the ancient god Cthulhu. The only problem is, they first must sacrifice Cthulhu's last heir--a Miskatonic University student with an annoying habit of surviving.

Camp Death Productions is proud to present their 4th world premiere! Enter Cthulhu is a hilarious romp: a college is suddenly cursed by a mysterious book that is the key to summoning the terrifying ancient monster Cthulhu. Classic H.P. Lovecraft references combine with horror movie tropes - Think gothic horror tales meets Joss Whedon-style irreverence and fun. This script is hilarious, campy, charming, and rooted in literature.

Starring Evan Figg, Bonnie Mitchell, Bridie Corbett, Janae Hatchett, Madison Armstrong, William Johnson, Trent Lintzen, Gerald Fitzgerald, Kimmy Mauldin, Paul Lewis, CJ Newman, Cody Jackson, and Savannah Johnson.

Don't miss this world premier show inspired by the works of horror master H.P. Lovecraft!

Enter Cthulhu is rated PG13 for mild language and cartoon-y violence.

Brandon Hughes performs "The Absent Father, the Wayward Son" Saturday, June 3rd at 8pm and Sunday, June 4th at 4pm.

"Thought-provoking!"
--USF Professor James Taylor

A POWERFUL, FUNNY, MUST-SEE SHOW!

The Absent Father, the Wayward Son is the story of David "DayDay" Williams, who's never seen his father in person, though the discovery of photos under his mother's bed affirm he looks nearly identical to him. This leads to David questioning his worth, resulting in an angry, confused, and wayward life. At seventeen, his mother reveals a secret, driving David to express his feelings about the father he's never met, and how different his life would've been if he had. Laced with multiple characters (all played by Hughes),"The Absent Father, the Wayward Son" is a story about love, repentance, redemption, and forgiveness.

From Audacity's website:

The aim of the Audacity Solo Salon is to support and nurture both established and emerging solo performers in the north Texas area. It is also a way to extend the mission of the Dallas Solo Fest beyond just the annual festival itself.

This quarterly series will be a way for solo artists to present, rehearse, experiement with and develop their work in front of supportive audiences. Come on out and see a new one-person show in progress...

This installment in what has become a semi-quarterly series from Audacity Theatre Lab will feature excerpts from solo shows-in-progress by Shelby-Allison Hibbs, Chris Sykes and Shayne Larango.

The Excerpts:
DemiRepubliCan't - Written and Performed by Shelby-Allison Hibbs
In the second installment of Shelby-Allison Hibbs' solo piece on politics and memory, the election results are in! Shelby-Allison has to move from juice boxes to hard liquor as she presses forward in 45's possession of her country. Maybe she'll move to Canada. Maybe she'll sell plasma. Maybe she'll continue to have a codependent relationship with her chihuahuas. Time will tell.

Same Difference - Written and Performed by Chris Sykes
An experimental one-person piece about the casually extreme and nuanced contradictions that exist all around us.

Smell the Roux - Written and Performed by Shayne Larango
A legacy member of the Way to a Man’s Heart, Three Squares, and Clean Your Plate Club resists. An irreverent look at how food culture shapes our lives and our bodies.
