RED CANS: Read our Bruises #1

4 days into rehearsal, and already the cans are taking a vicious toll. While you marvel at the bruises that Ms. Jess Akin has endured, allow us to assure you that our performers are prepared to soldier on through any amount of black, blue, green, and yellow to bring you the most unique performance of the year: RED CANS! August 3-19th at the Off Center.

Like a very bizarre dream...

Stay tuned to this blog for racy outtakes from the photo session. Josh, in particular, had trouble remembering where to hold his clamp light.

We are an Outstanding Director.

Yikes! Is it true that a shiny nickel of capital-C Credibility was bestowed upon us last night? Might the Rubber Repertory soon be forced to retire its title as the Rodney Dangerfield of local theatre companies? No way, Jose! We'll spare you the mushmouthed transcripts of our acceptance speeches, and you can all start pretending that it never happened.

we have a cast. we have a card.

If you answered "YES!" to most of these questions,
the Rubber Repertory wants YOU for their next production.

RED CANS, a co-production with Rude Mechs,
will be performed at the Off Center August 3rd-19th.
Not really a play, and not quite a dance, RED CANS is
perhaps best described as an experiment in limitations.
What are the possibilities of a show in which all of the
performers are trapped inside small red containers?
Unable to see. Unable to speak.
Barely able to move. What's left?

Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 13th from
10AM-2PM at the Dougherty Arts Center.
Nothing to prepare.

Rehearsals begin in mid-June.

Call 512-470-1735 or email rubberrep@gmail.com
to schedule an audition.
