With a list of short video projects being worked on, here is the next and our 135th production! It is a song called “My Eyes Met Yours” written and performed by Verderber (Michael). See the video above!

With the world as it is, the folks in our improv comedy troupe, Premature Punchline, have decided to film our rehearsals and bits as part of the newly created “The Premature Punchline Online Show”!

As part of the slew of new Zero Untitled content scheduled for release (including poetry videos, interviews, etc), the PPOS will feature different PrePunch comedians/comediennes (both old and new) performing from the safety of their own homes and studios. This first video stars veterans Poodle, Drea Lorin, and Michael Verderber, alongside group newbie Mack Attack and special guest Katherine Orozco-Verderber.

The video is available on our YouTube account and above. Update: the SECOND episode is available below!

This performance features Dawn, Julio, and Poodle playing “Alphabet Movie”!

Art imitates life in the latest series of poetry videos from Zero Untitled. In “A Slower Existence” by Katherine Orozco-Verderber , a woman appears quarantined for an unknown reason. In this expository poem, it establishes the world that will be developed in future poetry videos that expand on the same theme. “A Slower Existence” is part I.

A brand new video, shot back in December in New Orleans, is now available for viewing on YouTube and at this site. The video features three different works: two poems (one by Gabriel Ruiz and another by Katherine Orozco-Verderber) and some slow music written and performed by Michael Verderber. This video, “Brush the Concrete Gently” is our 133rd production and will be the first of several short film works we intend to produce.

As with most theatres around the country, we will not have live staged productions for the next month or so, pending the outcome of COVID-19. Our productions of “The Remains of Neverland” and “Lard Ass” will be delayed until later in the year.
Meanwhile, we will continue to produce smaller works such as poetry videos and #ZeroLife works. We know that this time is bad for everyone, so we want to do our part and give you something to watch during the quarantine.

In the meantime, watch some of our new content on the newer ZeroUntitledFilms YouTube page or the old (no longer updated) Zero Untitled YouTube account:

One MAJOR change: there was a problem with the building, so the show performances are scheduled for March now!

An unscheduled video just popped up into our productions! As an entry to the #StylophoneGenR8Comp synthesizer competition, DJ Oringe / Michael Verderber put together this video from the complete track from “Zellen”, footage from the “in[somnia]” trailer, and some new footage! We wish him luck in the contest! The video is viewable above!

Enjoy our latest and weirdest film to date – THE MATTRESS, a comedic puppetry spoof of “The Matrix” film. Written by Erik Helsing and directed by Michael Verderber, this is the first premiered project in our OBJECT-ionable Puppetry series. The newly formed series, explores utilizing multiple forms of puppetry using “found” objects instead of using traditionally constructed puppets.

Principal editing was done by Amber Badger (previously assisted in “Zellen”) and features the voice work of veterans Robert Trujillo, Josue Villarreal, and Justin Minter. Puppeteers were Andrea Lorin, Michael Verderber, and Katherine Orozco-Verderber.

What do puppets, marshmallows, and bread have in common? They are all features in our #ZeroLife video projects and trailers for forthcoming works. We have a handful of video projects lined up and already out, so here is a quick recap of this month’s goodies. We have a trailer for our upcoming puppetry film “The Mattress”, a #ZeroLife of the gang eating gross marshmallows, and an upcoming Christmas song that will be posted soon.

As promised, “Banana But Bread”:
