Zero Untitled Productions’s 31st production, “Safety Critters” officially premiered May 20, 2009 at the Marc Cisneros Center for Young Children to an enthusiastic audience of kiddos and teachers.  The forty minute performance featured a lot of audience interaction from both students and teachers. 

At this point, ZUFP will be attempting to promote “Safety Critters” as much as possible in an attempt to get the show touring and spread the safety message as much as possible.

The official tour for “Random Thoughts and Unfinished Songs” officially began on Wednesday, May 13 at Wise Guys Bar in Corpus Christi, TX.  There were about 23 people in the audience. The show concluded with Berryhill doing an improvisational concert featuring original songs as well as a few covers.  Keep watch for upcoming tour dates.

The new traveling children’s show “Safety Critters” has been cast and rehearsals are underway.  Here is the cast:

The Narrator: Aaron Martwick

Safe T. Bunny: Heraclio Gonzalez, Jr.

Baby Dormouse: Michael Verderber

Our first show will be at the CYC in Kingsville, TX on May 20th.  Starting the 20th, we are officially ready to perform at schools, churches and events.  We are aimed at Pre-K through 2nd grade.

“Random Thoughts and Unfinished Songs” concludes with 2 more shows on Thursday and Friday (Apr 30 and May 1) at 8:00 at the Blue Room in Sam Fore Hall at the Texas A&M Univ- Kingsville campus.  This is a free show.

We’ve had a great turnout so far, so come see what everyone has been talking about!

This event turned out to be an extremely random happening; “Surprise Flash Bang: A Happening.”  At the Texas A&M University – Kingsville annual Spring Fling, Verderber, Chad Wallace and Barry Berryhill decided to heat up the party by adding a Zero Untitled style twist.   Following a show by a Fire Poi performer, the boys hopped onto the makeshift stage to give THEIR version of what a fire show should look like.  It was all in good fun for all involved.

Chances are, if you received a paper that sent you to this website, you witnessed Zero Untitled’s 3rd Happening entitled “13º – The Political Climate of Freemasonry”. This Happening went against many of the conventions of typical Happenings, replacing spontaneity with a political message. You will not find information on Freemasonry here, however, this website is devoted to the theatre company, Zero Untitled Films/Productions.
