Click for ticket information at One World Theatre

Skippyjon Jones, presented by TheatreworksUSA and based on the book by Judy Schachner, is a little kitten with big ears and even bigger dreams! Skippyjon’s wild imagination takes over when he catches his reflection in a mirror. “Holy guacamole,” Skippyjon exclaims. “My ears are too big for my head, my head is too big for my body. I am not a Siamese cat – I am a CHIHUAHUA!” And not just any Chihuahua. He dons a mask, a cape, and an accent, and transforms into Skippito Friskito, the greatest canine sword fighter in old Mexico! But when the local pack of chihuahuas is terrorized by the gigantic bee, Alfredo Buzzito El Blimpo Bublebeeto Bandito, will Skippyjon be a ‘fraidy-cat or the top dog?

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! That’s the only way to spell this PG-13 musical comedy. The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the story of how six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. This hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championshio of a lifetime. The Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a roller coaster of music and F-U-N!

Video: Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Joseph, Capital T Theatre, January 25 - February 6, 2013

Capital T's short video picks the best of the 196 words of Jillian's Owen's comments in the Austin Chronicle, January 31. Gruesome Playground Injuries is a sweet, moody piece about a couple of friends who never made it together but were always there for one another. It gives Jason Newman the opportunity to demonstrate intensity and range and introduces the sometimes gawky and sometimes beautiful Laura Artesi. An Austin Live Theatre review is forthcoming.

Gruesome Playground Injuries

by Rajiv Joseph
directed by Kelsey King

Remaining performances: Saturday Feb 2nd 12pm; Monday Feb 4th 8pm; Tuesday Feb 5th 8pm; Wednesday Feb 6th 8pm

In a very different kind of love story an accident prone dare devil and a corrosive masochist navigate friendship, love and the squishy parts that lie in between. As they mature from accident-prone kids to self-destructive adults, their broken hearts and broken bones draw them ever closer.

Cap T is proud to present this quirky love story of self inflicted wounds and the healing we need from others starring Jason Newman and Laura Artesi and directed by Kelsey Kling.
