The Down Low
A New Dark Comedy (in an Old House) by Danny O'Connor
Directed by Brian Grunkowski

When the nude body of a recently slain man is discovered in Aaron's bedroom, his friends and roommates one by one must decide whether they should go to the police or protect themselves from what would come if they did.  

The play all takes place in the living room of a real home and playgoing capacity is maxxed out at fifteen seats, so the audience is right there in the room, witnesses to these characters as they continue to make the worst possible decisions in moments of very real, completely avoidable crisis.   THE DOWN LOW is a hilarious new play with undercurrents of the fear, optimism, loneliness and selfishness that permeate middle-class white America. 

Featuring Jeff Swearingen, Jordan Tomenga, Robin Clayton, Danny O'Connor, Brian Grunkowski, and introducing Mercedes Arndt.

Produced by Audacity Theatre Lab and Octaviar Productions.

THE LAST CASTRATO
By Andy Eninger

Audacity Theatre Lab teams up with Fun House Theatre and Film to present Jeff Swearingen in Andy Eninger's weird and wonderful one-man show THE LAST CASTRATO.

THE LAST CASTRATO centers on Joseph, who was born without a penis, and his love affair with Elena, who was born with her skin inside out. Elena, though, was blessed with a beautiful singing voice to balance her deformity, while Joseph has no talent whatsoever to make up for his missing member. "A penis," he muses, "in terms of artistic merit is worth nothing."

Last presented by Audacity from 2005 to 2007 in festivals from New York to Phoenix, THE LAST CASTRATO returns to the Dallas area for a proper run.

Featuring ATL member and Fun House Creative Director Jeff Swearingen
Written by Andy Eninger
Directed and designed by ATL Artistic Director Brad McEntire

Brad McEntire's newest play DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN will world-premiere at the 2013 Festival of Independent Theatres (FIT) at the Bath House Cultural Center June 7-22, 2013.

A press conference is held. A robot from the future and a dinosaur from the past address their experiences of being rudely sucked through time and space to our present, how they saved a little girl who had been stupidly playing in the path of a speeding train, and what they plan to do now that they seem to be stuck in the 21st Century. 

DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN is a contemporary take on the Theatre of the Absurd from the 1950s with its broad comedy, touches of Vaudeville, mixture of the horrific or tragic, characters caught in hopeless or confusing situations, dialogue full of nonsensical wordplay and repetition as well as just flat-out parody or dismissal of realism.

The Bath House Cultural Center is located at 521 E. Lawther Drive, Dallas, TX 75218.

Performance dates and times are:
Friday, June 7 @ 8 PM
Saturday, June 8 @ 2 PM
Sunday, June 9 @ 5 PM
