STAGE is basically a play-within-a-play - a look inwards into the very soul of what the rehearsal process is like, and seeing the underlying tensions that occur when different artists don't see eye-to-eye. It is also a very metaphysical/philosophical production as it asks the question of what theatre, or what performance even is. The production brings up the concept of acting - the idea that everyone acts in their everyday lives. The actors, aware of the audience, aware that they are onstage, question the audience frequently if they truly know what they are seeing. "If," they ask at some point "we were to just walk offstage, how long would you sit there, looking at the blank stage, certain that it is just part of the show?" STAGE shall take place after a very brief rehearsal period and shall be performed in an alternative venue called.
About The Broken Neck: Sandwiched between two automotive repair shops on the east side of Austin, most completely miss The Broken Neck upon trying to find it for the first time. With no sign of any sort, The Broken Neck is a warehouse, covered in grafitti, where punk concerts are regularly performed.
