This coming Saturday, November 14th, I’m celebrating my 27th birthday by taking part in a digital 24-hour play festival produced by Avalanche Theatre Company. Our ensemble of artists will be writing, casting, directing, rehearsing, and performing 5 short plays all in 24 hours, and you, the audience, gets to help shape what we create that day! Check out the poll here to vote for your favorite titles and even suggest your own. Showtime starts at 7:30PM, and tickets are only $10. Get yours here!

HARK! A Virtual Choose-Your-Own Adventure Play is back Thursday 9/3 at 7:30PM for the penultimate time!
After a brief hiatus, Avalanche Theatre Company’s interactive live Zoom reading series is back again with the fourth episode of Hark! A Virtual Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Play at 7:30PM CDT on Thursday 9/3! This virtual staged reading will be less than an hour long, and admission is free, but audience members who donate $1 or more get to influence how this installment ends and leads into the next one. Last time, audience members decided this episode would include a character’s twin, a meal being shared, a character getting lost, the Collective getting new leadership, a long, winding staircase, a character losing their ability to make facial expressions, and a character getting their toes stepped on (literally), with good consequences. Find out how playwright Alexander Utz managed to incorporate all these things and more in a less than 30 page script, and, if you donate $21, get a chance to participate in the drama yourself! You can pre-purchase a monologue here by donating $21 with the comment “monologue.” Keep an eye on the facebook event here, where the Zoom link will be posted on the day of the performance. This is our second-to-last episode, so it’s your last chance to vote on what we include in the finale - don’t miss it!

Except die. I won’t die for you. But anything else. Probably. Unless I think of something else I wouldn’t do. In summary, I’d do anything for you; subject to change,” AND “Why would I want to do you a favor? You just splashed me with boiling hot lava water!” Find out how playwright Alexander Utz managed to incorporate all these things and more in a less than 30 page script, and, if you donate $21, get a chance to participate in the drama yourself!
