Available now from Mason Jar Press, Erin Dorney’s debut is a collection of erasure poems sourced from media interviews with Shia LaBeouf. Erasure is a form of poetry created by erasing words from an existing text and framing the result on the page as a poem.

iThink Reading

MACHO GOAT is in production of its first full length feature film which will be released for the Digital Fringe this September. Be apart of history and come to our reading which is open to the public. The show is completely free and there will be a discussion after.

A computer is infected and is implementing a protocol to find the virus to destroy it. The protocol travels through different programs which embody themselves as all aspects of humanity. Everything from a detective 40’s Noer to a viking revenge story is experienced in this digital Greek epic. What does it mean to be human? Why are we here? These are a few of the questions explored in this piece.
 

Doors 7pm

The Last Emperor of Mexico

The Last Emperor of Mexico  |  Written & performed by Chris Davis  |  Directed by Mary Tuomanen

 

Maximilian I has recently been declared the Emperor of Mexico by Napoleon III, but his administration soon comes under attack by the revolutionary Benito Juarez. Maximilian is confronted with a great dilemma – to shave his beard or die by firing squad. Find out what happens in this one-man show noted as “hilarious,” by Broad St. Review, with “a strikingly original writer and performer,” The Scotsman.
“If you’re into the kind of theatre where you are also an actor, possibly without you knowing it, and with stunned drunk Brit girls trying to act and succeeding, then I am not even sure why I am mentioning this. Just check it out!” – some dude from Edinburgh Fringe
 

Buy tickets online or at the door for $10.00.
