As per usual, Zero Untitled will be presenting some theatre at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures and Education Center’s “Mid-Autumn Festival” and our improv troupe, Premature Punchline, will be upstairs from 4-6 pm. We will run three short IMPROV COMEDY shows with breaks in between to allow attendees to see the other events, performers, and vendors at the event. Our shows will be free with purchase of event ticket.

Are you new to Kingsville and are looking for something to do to blow off some steam? Are you a creative writer or musician looking to get some exposure for your work? Are you a weirdo looking to hang with other weirdos? Well, we are ALWAYS looking for some new like-minded creative types! Shoot us an email at zero_untitled_films@yahoo.com and follow our socials (look to the right of this post!) and get involved with Zero Untitled, Kingsville’s oldest independent theatre group, staging shows literally all over world since 2003.
Everything from HORROR theatre to PUPPETRY to everything in between to…wait, is that the Crane Kick…? Yeah, that, too. Take a look at just a few of the shows we have done recently.

As part of our ongoing “Zero Practice” series, actors are given a brand-new script of a play they are completely unfamiliar with and are expected to perform the play live on-the-spot in front of an audience.

And here is the SECOND performance (in less than 24 hours) with Dawn Robertson as our “blind” actress chosen. Gabe reprised his role and Julio took over as both actors were familiar with the show from the previous night’s performance.

Stop complaining that there is nothing in town to do when we have ANOTHER fantastic evening of open mic madness at Hatters Beverage Company via our Textual Overture branch! Expect poetry, live music, short plays, and YOU, on the stage! This is a FREE performance, but the venue would appreciate drink purchases.
And here are a few pics from the show! See even more photos on the Productions page!





Our resident improv comedy troupe, Premature Punchline, will be making their grand return to the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures and Education Center for World Elephant Day on August 8th! Like previous museum-event productions, we will be staging multiple mini-shows starting at noon until 2:30 with short breaks in between to give museum-goers the opportunity to see the other events happening at the museum.

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!

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.
Christmas Penalty Hat – Dec 6 – 7:00 FREE, Hatters Beverage Company
Christmas Improv Show – Dec 20 – 7:00 FREE, Hatters Beverage Co.

Coming soon to Hatters Beverage Company in downtown Kingsville! Not one but TWO shows from Premature Punchline improv comedy in December! One show will be an improv show and the second will be Penalty Hat! Keep your peepers peeled for both of these holiday-themed shows!
Update: Pics below are from the Dec 20th show featuring Julio, Ray, Aubrey, Cricket, Katy, Daniel, and Michael!







Update! Here are some photos from the Christmas Penalty Hat show on December 6th at Hatters Beverage Company!




Zero Untitled Productions specializes in theatre staged in non-traditional spaces. Our versatile ethos allows the talent of our actors, writers, and directors to shine with great diversity. Rather than simply staging traditional plays, Zero Untitled writes, produces, and stages immersive theatre, unique music from a variety of genres, cultural, experimental, and environmental puppetry, and long and short form improv. All creative work will find an avenue of production, whether that is through our annual immersive horror Dark Tour, our open mic series Textual Overture, or even short films. We welcome everyone who is looking to embrace their creativity, no previous experience required.
If you ever need to reach Zero Untitled, feel free to reach out to us on our social media platforms (Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTube, Instagram, etc), but the fastest way is through our email, which is checked daily:

We hope to hear from you!
