I just heard about NC Stage’s “No Shame Theatre.” Here’s the link.

Here’s a blurb:

We take the first 15 scripts that come in the door at 10pm. If you’re a writer, come to the theatre by 10pm with typed scripts. If you’re an actor, come to the theatre by 10pm and tell people you’re there to act, and you’ll act. It’s that simple. Dance and you’ll dance- you get the picture- the stage is yours! Writers, directors, actors, dancers, musicians—anything goes: Comedy sketches, dramatic monologues, songs, dance pieces, rants, dadaist constructions, magicians, juggling, puppets and things that we’re not even sure exist yet. The only rules are 1) pieces must be short (under five minutes), 2) original and 3) can’t damage the space or audience physically.

Here’s my question: If you had no shame, and a stage, what would you do?

Something with nudity and chocolate.

Or more realistically do a piece i call 4’33” where i take photos of the audience for that amount of time.

Or maybe my play called:

a short play about death

Gerald McBean
I saw Death from my back door.

Emily Pritchart
I saw Death from my back door.

Mama
I saw Death from my back door.

Billy
I saw Death from my back door.

The Judge
I saw Death from my back door.

All
We all saw Death from our back door!

(fin)

or… maybe not!  Interesting concept though!

Hope you make it out to the show next month, Zen!
