Schedule of events
- April 12 - Greyhound Famous by Tony Faia: Climb aboard Greyhound Famous, a hilarious and riveting travel log based on the real-life Mary Jo Pehl’s memoir “Employee of the Month and Other Big Deals” about her time before and after achieving D-list celebrity on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Lacking confidence and direction, we’ll follow Mary Jo across the country on a disastrous book tour in search of something more.
- April 19 - Anton Chekhov is a Tasty Snack by Jenny Connel Davis: A small Austin theater company with big ambitions decides to mount the best dang production of Chekhov's The Seagull that this town has ever seen. But as the rehearsal process draws on for months, art imitates life imitating art and the whole cast goes increasingly around the bend. A wildly fast-and-loose adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, this hilarious new comedy embraces the absurdity of making theater.
