Summer is almost here and that means Summer Potluck is right around the corner! We're excited to bring the smorgasbord back to the theater in June and July. It's going to be absolutely delicious.
Potluck features two groups on Saturdays at 8:00p. Each group will play for 25 minutes. The show is a curated mix; groups are invited by HUGE or selected based on the submission form below. Different groups will perform each night of the run - this show is not a 2 month commitment! Potluck is a chance to play on the HUGE stage 1-3 times on a Saturday during the summer months.
If you are interested in submitting your show/group for a spot in Summer Potluck, please fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/7nSXom1HmPDi...
Keep in mind that not all submitted shows will be scheduled. The form will gather availability/interest; we will add you to the line up as timing and availability will allow.
The form will close on May 2 and we will complete the schedule by May 6 - look to hear back from us during that week.
Thanks for your interest - hope to see you around HUGE soon!
A friend asked for an old blog entry that got eaten when we moved to this beautiful new website! So here it is:
The brain you had when you were a kid was just a little bit softer than the brain you have now. Let’s take a step back and soften up your grown-up brain, to let more things in. Here are some practice exercises from various sources:
- • Walk around your room naming things the wrong name, i.e. point at the chair and call it a squirrel or a gleebeldy weebelly.
- • Do a crossword puzzle or a Sudoku wrong. I recommend not limiting yourself to letters and numbers.
- • Close your eyes and turn your head any direction you’d like. Open your eyes and look at what’s in front of you in the frame of your vision. Appreciate it like it’s a painting or a photograph someone deliberately composed in just this way. Try to analyze the symbolism, and the artist’s intent.
- • Brush your teeth with the wrong hand.
- • Make an art project out of the things in your junk drawer.
- • Take the wrong route home.
- • Draw a really terrible picture of a bunny and mail it to an unsuspecting friend or hide it in a library book.
- • Open a document on a computer, and just start typing. Type whatever comes, even if it’s just, “I don’t know what to type, I don’t know what to type.”
- • Play one-word story with yourself by closing your eyes every other word. (http://improvencyclopedia.org/games/Word_at_a_Time_Story.html)
- • Play Initials – find two letters, like DW, and make up little activities as quickly as you can – drawing whistles, draining wolves, diabolically writing…
Your brain has pathways, and unless you find ways to get off those pathways, you’ll never have a new thought. See if you can surprise yourself today.
The show proposal from is open and ready for submissions! Shows submitted this round will be considered for June-December of 2022. The form will close on April 11th.
There are a few new time slots we’ve included; Mondays from 8:00 – 10:00p AND Saturdays from 7:00-7:45. We’re excited to see what you’ve been working on!
