After her
critically-lauded run at FronteraFest 2012, Annie La Ganga
revisits her one-woman show of Drawing a Paycheck
for four nights at The VORTEX Theatre. The production
runs Friday and Saturday nights from May 25th through
June 2nd.

The improvised show explores all the ways that
writer, comedian and monologist La Ganga has tried to
make money with arts and crafts. The one-woman show is
also about drawing, working - and not working -
finding out what works and doesn't, making and not making
work, and whatever else comes up when La Ganga starts talking
and drawing portraits of volunteers selected from the
audience.
According to the Austin
Chronicle, "Drawing a Paycheck is La Ganga's ode to the creative,
multi-talented Austinites who have hit middle age and
still don't know how they're going to earn a living
when they grow up…by fusing her idiosyncratic
improvisational storytelling with visual art, La Ganga
hopes to transform her turbulent relationship with
making money."
La Ganga is the author of Stoners
and Self-Appointed Saints, A Memoir (Red Hen Press 2009) and the creator
of the one-woman shows Let's Make Love
Tonight, A Self-Help Stand-Up Comedy Interactive Performance
Art Monologue. He also recently starred in
Surprise Annie!, a collaboration with Rubber Repertory.
La Ganga is a committed arts activist and has been
teaching life drawing to inmates at Travis County Correctional
Complex Del Valle since 2002.
Performances will be
Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 to
$30 for priority seating, $15 to $20 for general admission and
$10 for starving artists. The VORTEX Theatre is
located at 2307 Manor Road. For more information and
reservations, call (512) 478-LAVA (5282) or visit www.VortexRep.org.
