Austin Script Works presents
ON TOUR! As has been tradition, McCallum Theatre Students fill the spring with a repertory of student directed and/or written works. This year’s theme, ON TOUR!, is intended to create opportunities for students to learn the mechanics of taking a show on the road. They find a location, find a play that fits that location, and do all the leg work to successfully produce a piece of theatre.
Presented by The BLUE Theatre and the Getalong Gang Performance GroupPost-Oedipus is a radical re-working of Euripides’ play The Phoenician Women, chronicling the tumultuous events of Oedipus’ family after his fall.

Post-Oedipus uses warped time, musical interjections, chaotic revelries, and intolerable silences to unravel the mental state of a family after disaster. At once a stunning family drama and a jaunt into the absurd, Post-Oedipus will delight and challenge audiences.
Join us for a night of Shakespeare scenes featuring some of the Bard’s most interesting married couples.
While a wedding is the end to many of Shakespeare’s plays, it’s only the beginning of the journey of marriage. Shakespeare’s Husbands & Wives, adapted and directed by Jill K. Swanson, explores the dynamics of married life after the world wind of romance. When couples work to build one life out of two; all the while struggling with jealousy, equality, teamwork and disparate goals. Each scene reflects a different dynamic, perhaps one you will recognize from your own marriage.
Portia sums it up beautifully when she demands of her Brutus, “Am I yourself, but, as it were, in sort or limitation, to keep with you at meals, comfort your bed, and talk to you sometimes?
Featuring: Michael Amendola, Kathy Rose Center, Shauna Danos, Bridget Farias, Alejandro McDonald-Villarreal, Erin Molson, Robert Moncrieff, Garry Peters, Laura Ray, Robert Stevens, Heath Thompson & Katie Van Winkle.
