Join us in the creation at 7PM.
The show starts at 9PM.

Assignment: Be open, honest, and write a narrative about your family during the holidays. Bring some writings to perform! Journals. Stories. Texts from classes. Anything that you would like to perform.

Can’t make it? Call our voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638), to contribute via the phone. We will play your audio contribution on stage (pending audio quality).

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. The two of them can’t decide which family to see over the holidays so they invite everyone to their place. Politics, art, and philosophy are discussed. People redden. Feet stomp. Alcohol is consumed. Some leave. Some go to bed. Some stay up into the night learning about each other. The sun rises, another mimosa is poured, and Danny Weiss starts playing a sweet song on his saxophone.

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. The two of them go trick or treating as the Pedestrian Bridge and the Wabash River. Each receive a tremendous amount of candy, stickers, and other household items. Upon returning home, they examine their loot and find a letter. The writer tells them the location of a secret trunk full of valuables and photographs. They quickly head out into the night. They enter Happy Hollow Park after dusk and…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

the University show

We are continuing with our new format of creating material for the show in a collaborative environment.

Everyone is welcome at anytime. You can participate in all aspects of the show, but you must be present at the specified times to contribute as a writer and/or performer.

Want to write for the show? Come at 7PM.
Want to perform in the show? Come at 8PM.
Want to watch the creation? Come at 9PM.

In honor of the start of Purdue’s 2011 Fall Semester, we are asking people to draw upon this event for their inspiration. Think of Purdue, students, university, classes, the Hello Walk, campus, the Village, coffee shops, house parties, the Union, clubs, grad students, dissertations, grants, loans.

Can’t make it? Call our voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638), to contribute via the phone. To be considered for this month’s show, you must call before August 28th.

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. Their relationship grows stale and they put an ad on Craigslist. After a few days they meet Daniil Kharms. All is interesting and fresh again. As they grow old, the three of them enjoy reading Viola Spolin, William S. Burroughs, Keith Johnstone, and Albert Camus before they go to bed. Soundtracking their life’s journey are the works of Laurie Anderson, Jeffry Lewis, and Cecil Taylor.
