Boy Toy Presents...

3 54 100958 Boy Toy Presents... Formed in late-2008 when a stray bolt of sex-lightning struck Austin’s ColdTowne Theater, improv comedy troupe Boy Toy includes some of the funniest and most-innovative improvisers in the country. Among this dazzling troupe of funnykins are ColdTowne Conservatory teachers and graduates, an Air Sex World Champion, a World of Warcraft guru, a zip-line tour guide, the manager of a Starbucks, and “Dirty Baby,” leader of Austin’s only ukulele rock-and-roll band. Boy Toy performs “The Harold,” the grandpappy of improv formats that intertwines organic games, scenes, and relationships into one big ball of sexy you’ll want to take home with you … but not to your mother. Boy Toy performs every Saturday at ColdTowne Theater (4803 Airport Blvd, next to I Luv Video), at 7:00pm. http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2 http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2.xml Saturday 11/14/09 20091115T010000Z/20091115T010000Z false 0 23.0 07:00 PM Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 23 SAT 01/30/2010 http://www.boytoyimprov.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/277473/boy-toy-medium_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml

Richard O'Brien 1975 100 min. Rated R for polymorphous perversity All-American couple Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and fianceé Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) decide to visit their old professor. Unfortunately, their car breaks down outside a sinister house, and they are forced to stay the night. Inside the house Brad and Janet find a world filled with subversive sexuality. The film itself is filled with great tunes and a slightly loopy plot. So it's just like your common-or-garden musical in that way. Where the film really takes off is in its subversion of sexual mores as Brad and Janet break free from their normality. Richard O'Brien created "The Rocky Horror Show" for the London stage, and in addition to writing duties also shows up as butler Riff Raff. But the film belongs to Tim Curry as cross-dressing scientist Frank N Furter. And if you've seen it so many times that you're tired of singing along, you can gain new thrills by seeing it at the cinema and entering the world of audience participation. Dress up! Shout at the screen and enter conversations with the characters in the film! Many claim that audience participation is the essence of the Rocky Horror experience, and the film itself merely an excuse for this mayhem. Will it appeal to everyone? Certainly not. But for those willing to experiment with something a little bit different, a little bit outré, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has a lot to offer. Prop bags will be available from the cast for $3 a bag or $5 for two. Prop bags contain: newspaper, glowstick, rubber glove, noisemakers, toilet paper, party hat, cards, and condom And just to throw in some extra spice, come out to these special themed nights for a slightly altered dose of Rocky mayhem: June 30th - Rookie Horror Beach Night - All cast members will be playing their parts for the very first time. Everyone will be in beach wear, we will decorate according to the theme AND have a costume contest for the best beach attire! July 28th - Decades Night - We will be taking a trip through time, and have all characters dressed in costumes from flappers to poodle skirts. Again, there will be decorations and a costume contest. August 25th - Naughty Fantasies - We are going to dress our cast up in some of the traditional sexy fantasy outfits, such as a nurse, cop, schoolgirl, etc. Again, there will be decorations and a costume contest. September 29th - Saturday Night Live Show - We are going to pay tribute to the great SNL characters throughout the years. You will see the Church Lady, Blues Brothers, Coneheads and more. Definitely a costume contest!!! ...and of course the biggest Rocky shows of the year...leading up to HALLOWEEN! <a href="http://www.cosmosfactory.org/">COSMO'S FACTORY ROCKY HORROR SITE</a> <a href="http://www.rockyhorror.com/virgknow.html">What every Rocky Horror Virgin should know</a> <a href="http://www.rockyhorror.com/partbegn.html">How Audience Participation Began...</a> <a href="http://www.rockyhorror.com/participation/proplist.php">Prop List Instructions</a> Location: Alamo Village Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian.

Radio Silence: a word opera is a fast paced rhythmic ride. This hip-hop theater performance piece fuses the physicality of modern dance with high-energy spoken word and the sensibilities of street politics. This new word opera is a choreopoem that challenges and redefines taboos including race, sex, religion and politics, with the back-drop of a fading media: the radio. http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/radio-silence http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/radio-silence.xml Saturday 08/30/08 20080831T010000Z/20080831T010000Z false 0 10.0 08:00 PM Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:00:00 -0500 2 SAT 08/30/2008 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/52831/20_Radio1_sq_90.JPG The Vortex 980 The Vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex http://do512.com/venue/the-vortex.xml

One side is dubbed the Alliance, and the other side is dubbed the Coalition. Each faction is the sworn enemy of the other. At some point, centuries before our story takes place, the city decided that their wars had been too destructive, so they created a somewhat more civilized manner of dealing with each other: Contest. Both sides of the city operate as typical municipalities would in our world, except for where issues concerning both sides are concerned. Contest is a sporting form of politics that allows one contender from each side to duke it out with the other. It is the fantasy of all young men in the city that they become contenders. John and Nick grew up on the alliance side of the city, and shared the dream of one-day being contenders for their side. This dream comes true for John, but not for Nick who isn’t allowed to fight because of a medical condition. This story is about Nick coming to grips with his insecurities over not being chosen to be a contender. His friendship with John, his relationship with his girlfriend Violet, his career, and even the city is eventually affected by Nick’s inner turmoil. Will Nick’s internal battle destroy him and all of those around him? Or is there hope for him? <a href="http://www.4thwalltickets.com/store/show/53">Purchase tickets to Hubris</a> http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/hubris http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/hubris.xml Saturday 02/09/08 20080210T020000Z/20080210T020000Z false 0 7.25 08:00 PM Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:00:00 -0600 1 SAT 02/04/2008 The Off Center 562 The Off Center http://do512.com/venue/the-off-center http://do512.com/venue/the-off-center.xml
