July 10th in Kingsville – another TEXTUAL OVERTURE at our favorite coffee shop, Hatters Beverage Company! Bring your work because YOU are the featured guest!

Before the show goes on hiatus, we will be staging “Attempting Bunraku” several more times on July 11th as part of the Tanabata Star Festival in Corpus at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures.

Another Premature Punchline show at the Rialto Theatre on July 25th! Come for a bevy of bizarre improv games in our own bizarre style!

Before avant-garde theatre icon Richard Foreman passed away, he posted several of his notebooks on his website for any theatre enthusiast to direct, stage, use, etc. As a huge fan of Foreman’s work, Michael Verderber jumped at the chance to use the scraps of dialogue to create new theatre pieces in experimental and brand new ways.

Thus comes… “Throne”, one of the many Notebook sections that Verderber is taking a short stab at using object manipulation. This piece will set up a much larger and more complicated work, called “Richard Foreman’s Potatoland Paradise” (derived from multiple Notebooks and staged in Foreman’s infamous Potatoland setting). Both “Throne” and “…Potatoland Paradise” will be released online. More info coming soon!

Here is “Throne”:

Here are pics of every performer from the Textual Overture on June 12th at Hatters Beverage Company! And below is a video of “The Lady Doth Protest” play performance; the two actors Julio and Daniel were given a brand new script that they had never read, seen, nor rehearsed and were just expected to perform it! Hence, why it is called “Zero Practice”!

And here is an audience-shot filming of Roslyn’s and Bryson’s song “My White Dog”!

We have two shows scheduled in June and July! First up, we have a ton of short, weird content happening on our Tik Tok and YouTube account, so do check those out. Most recently, a performance poem called “Unconditional” and the Down Chamber Drone Day 2026 performance! The latter two can be viewed if you scroll down below this post!

Secondly, and for LIVE shows, we have a TEXTUAL OVERTURE at Hatters Beverage Company (recently voted the #1 coffee shop in Kingsville!) on the 12th at 7 pm. And on JULY 25th (this is the new date!), we will have a Premature Punchline show at the Rialto Theatre in Aransas Pass; see flyers above.
