Alternative. Visceral. Independent.
A high noire/low camp murder mystery radio show from Sundown Collaborative Theatre. This original tale is set in 1954, during the peak of the American obsession with ten-pin bowling before its rapid decline. When a gruesome murder occurs during a big tournament at Action Lanes, Detective Raymond Barros locks in the 14 people present at the dive to try and find the killer before his Sergeant comes to collect him in mere hours.
Even in THE END OF DAYS our (virtual) Short Works Festival remains. Your host, Kurt Danger and a one-man-house-band will guide you through a curated batch of short, filmed pieces, centered on the theme of the end of the world. In true Short Works Festival Tradition, there will be a drinking game, goofs, laughs and some tender moments. In a telethon-style event, we'll be raising money for the Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. Join us and bask in the heat of the flames of this Tiny Apocalypse.
This show is a devised work created by the community and Sundown Collaborative Theatre. It has been constructed with stories submitted by the cast and community. These stories include first loves, heartache, loss, and more. Together the cast has woven the stories together to create a show about the highs and lows of love and all the ways it presents itself within our lives.
A lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting, to family and friends, a story that has long troubled him concerning events that transpired while attending the funeral of an elderly recluse. There, he caught sight of a woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. It is rumored that anyone who sees her dies. Together, the lawyer and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night.
Sundown Collaborative Theatre's Java Scripts features a variety of short acts ranging from the scripted and linear to the devised and abstract. This year’s festival dives into the awkwardness of our daily existence, struggles with mental illness, the magic hidden in plain sight, and the absolute absurdity of life. Each night of performances will feature a different line-up of acts. 6 nights, 18 works, 1 festival!
