AN OBVIOUSLY FOGGOT 

An Obviously Foggot Bastion Carboni Poison Apple Initiative Austin TX

a new play by written/ directed by Bastion Carboni 

Poison Apple Initiative is making a loud play in a gay bar. Again.

We did this before; see Dan Solomon's review:

We're stoked to present a 2-weekend encore run of AN OBVIOUSLY FOGGOT, a train wreck of found/ original text, mashed-up pop songs, and dance parties that asks, "When and how exactly does It Get Better?"

What happens when a haven is... a little less than safe?

May 23-26 and May 30-June 2 (Thurs-Sun)
How much: $10

Featuring Avalisa Gallo, Zac Car, Nick Fuentes, Caleb Perkins, Estevan Labrado, and Brennan Gallagher.
Tickets available on-line via

“So you've got this group of guys, right, who've been emasculated basically their entire adolescence, didn't get a lot of dating mistakes out of the way, and never lost their attraction to masculinity. And you put them in this place with all this booze and drugs and make it so loud they can barely hear each other. What the fuck do you think is gonna happen?"
Poison Apple Initiative closes its 3rd season with a remount production of Bastion Carboni’s new play An Obviously Foggot, a non-linear mash-up of original text, reconstituted pop songs, and dance parties addressing internalized homophobia and transphobia in the gay bar climate.
Poison Apple Initiative makes newer and original plays (mostly) about important things (mostly). We do them in theatres, bars, or some guy's house and believe in the basic idea that theatre is for conversation, inspiration, and change. Rebellions should be staged.
