And now, the grand unveiling, Our official season opener:
“GREAT MOMENTS OF KUNG FU THEATER HISTORY”
Come join No Refunds Theater Co. as we celebrate the rich, chewy, cream-filled goodness of Kung Fu Theatre throughout the ages. From Kung Fu Greek Tragedy, to experimental Kung Fu Theater of the Absurd, to the bleeding edge of modern Kung Fu Theatre. Featuring excerpts from:
Oedipus the Kung…Fu!
A Streetfighter Named Desire
Waiting for Judo
RENTfist
12 Angry Monks
And Much, Much More!
You may think you're one of the lucky 150 people who saw this at our fundraiser last year. Well, you're wrong! Well, not completely wrong, but certainly mistaken. We did a version of this last year, but this one is brand new! With new classics of western theater all kung fu'd beyond recognition. Seriously, it's gonna be sweet.

Which brings us to our second project of the year, I give you:
Sun Tzu’s “Art Of War”
by Charlie Bethel and No Refunds Theatre Co.
And the Blurb:
“The 3,000-year-old manual on War’s practice and philosophy. Used by generals and businessmen throughout history with ruthlessly effective results, now on stage! And Funny! Narrated for your pleasure by Charlie Bethel, illustrated for your pain by the No Refunds Ninjas”
Now, this was originally intended for our fringe show this year, but we didn’t make the lottery, so we’re gonna do it anyway, sometime later. We didn’t want to be in the dumb ol weiner-fringe anyway. That’s for little babies.
This’ll go on in the Autumn sometime, suckers–I mean, venue to be decided…heh heh. I’m learning a lot of things with this whole season thing. I mean, for one, you need to book a theater, like, a million years in advance. Seriously, I had no idea other people did shows. I thought we had the market cornered…boy is my face red.
So anyway, keep checking out the blog and the website and your local library and we’ll get the info up there as soon as everybody wises up and gives us what we want.|W|P|117557521996209671|W|P|Art in schools...art of WAR that is|W|P|theeoriginalmatt@yahoo.com4/03/2007 03:48:57 AM|W|P|Carlos|W|P|Libro 36 ESTRATEGIAS CHINAS.

So in the spirit of how all things get started here at No Refunds Theatre Co. I will begin bass-akwards with the last show of the Season.
I give you, the very first serious show No Refunds has ever gotten within ten feet of:
“What’s Done in the Dark; a Graphic Novel on Stage”
And the Promo Blurb:
“It’s not a play. It’s not a Graphic Novel. It’s something in between. It’s a blend of Illustration and Action. It’s Visual, it’s Story, it’s Pathos and Catharsis and superpowers and it’s really freakin’ cool. But don’t worry, just because it’s serious doesn’t mean it’s legitimate theater.”
Now, I’m working on this show and all, so you may say that I’m biased. This is true, however, I’ve been doing theatre all over town for the last five years, and before that I was doing it in college. Plus, I’m a trained anthropologist, and able to step out of my circumstances in order to observe things in an objective, and scientific manner. And in this scientific state of mind, I feel qualified to say that even more than marriage or winning the lottery, this play will be the greatest thing that will ever happen to you in your entire life.
We’re still in the developing phase…which is to say we’re playing video games and talking about how cool the idea is, and coming up with good names for things, which is totally my favorite part of the process. But we’re coming up with an original story and characters that will be in the styles of the great graphic Novels: Frank Milller’s Batman and Sin City books, Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, and Alan Moore’s Watchmen, V for Vendetta… the list goes on. We’re also going to add visual elements using digital projectors over the stage with original art like what you see above.
It’s gonna be freakin awesome. I mean, like, Storm Shadow awesome.
Look for this in the winter of ’07-’08.|W|P|117557443098451238|W|P|We begin at the end|W|P|theeoriginalmatt@yahoo.com4/02/2007 11:04:00 PM|W|P|Matty Boom Boom|W|P|
Alright alright, so maybe when I said a Season announcement was forthcoming like, in February, I was a filthy liar. Whatever man. I mean, all of the sudden every little freakin word I say (or write) has to be all truthful and stuff. It’s like I’m back in Juvy.
You’ll all be relieved to know that now, finally, after 2 months, four breakdowns, some botox, and many sleepless hours watching Knight Rider, WE HAVE A SEASON!
Limber up your mouse fingers, minimize the youtube window, grab some snacks and bookmark some porn for later, because I’ll be blogging through the night, baby.
Man nothing makes me feel old like Knight Rider.
Was I EVER cool?
