Dear Fraility

1 7 96883 Dear Fraility Written over a five-year span of artistic wandering, Dear Frailty is a mix of darkly comedic character monologues and absurdist performance pieces. Sifting through his own thoughts and the lives of personalities that “may as well exist out there,” Simone revels in the utter failure to find any degree of meaning in the predictability of human nature. Material ranges from his own perverse vision of what the future holds for capitalism as well as a pyromaniac grocery store clerk with a profound dislike of the elderly. Arthur Simone is an improvisational actor, abstract expressionist artist and advocate of the culture of spontaneity. His artwork has been shown at galleries such as Chicago's Echo Gallery and art festivals such as Around the Coyote and the East Austin Studio Tour. Arthur's artwork has been  twice a nominated finalist for the prestigious Hunting Art Prize. A graduate of Oberlin College and a veteran of the Chicago stage with Suspicious Clowns and Moving Dock Theatre, he is a co-founder of Austin's ColdTowne Theater, where he teaches sketch, improv, and acting. On the screen, Arthur has starred in Jigsaw, The Evil One, A&E's Faith of My Fathers, Big Momma's House 2, and has been featured on the series Friday Night Lights. In 2007, he won the O'Henry Pun-Off World Championships (left), Austin's regional Air Guitar Championship, and most recently the Alamo Drafthouse's Air Sex World Championship. http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/dear-fraility http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/dear-fraility.xml Friday 08/28/09 20090829T020000Z/20090829T020000Z false 0 5.9 09:00 PM Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:00:00 -0500 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:00:00 -0500 5 FRI 08/28/2009 http://coldtownetheater.frontgatetickets.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/258136/dearfrailty.poster.web_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 ColdTowne Theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml

Unbeaten is a quasi-improvisation about professional football that takes place within the parameters of a game of football--one hour, offense and defense. Sure, there's a detailed game plan, but the play has to adjust to situations as they arise, and each evening's performance will feature different text shuffled in different orders depending on these situations. Performed by Shannon McCormick and music by Graham Reynolds. http://do512.com/event/2008/10/31/unbeaten http://do512.com/event/2008/10/31/unbeaten.xml Friday 10/31/08 20081101T010000Z/20081101T010000Z false 0 5.0 08:00 PM Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:00:00 -0500 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:00:00 -0500 1 FRI http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/128415/unbeaten_sq_90.jpg Salvage Vanguard Theater 1508 Salvage Vanguard Theater http://do512.com/venue/salvage-vanguard-theater http://do512.com/venue/salvage-vanguard-theater.xml

Iden Payne Theatre.   James Maxwell's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is an adaptation of Jane Austen's timeless novel, originally published in 1813. The highly plot-driven comedy of manners set in 1811 centers on the Bennet family, a comfortable, but not excessively wealthy family living in the countryside of England. As the Bennets have five daughters and no sons, Mrs. Bennet's main objective in life is to find (wealthy) husbands for her daughters and retain Longbourn, the family estate, in the Bennet name. When Jane, the eldest daughter, falls in love with a wealthy landowner named Charles Bingle, Mrs. Bennet believes her problems solved. Bingly's snobbish family and his close friend and acquaintance Fitzwilliam Darcy, however, have other ideas.   "Maxwell’s fast-paced version of Austen’s classic novel captures the wit, grace, and anxieties of the familiar story and focuses the action on Elizabeth—a period character who nevertheless remains intimately recognizable to modern audiences says PhD in Performance as Public Practice candidate and dramaturg, Christina Gutierrez. "Given the wealth of both recent and historical adaptations of Austen, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE offers at once a classic and a refreshing re-telling of a story that has so informed our cultural notions of love."   http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/pride-and-prejudice http://do512.com/event/weekly/fri/pride-and-prejudice.xml Friday 11/27/09 20091128T020000Z/20091128T020000Z 0 3.0 08:00 PM Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 3 FRI 05/13/2010 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/305382/003033_25_sq_90.jpg B.
