There are few stories appropriate to late-stage capitalism. In our world, where hope is a fetter and victory is unimaginable, tragedy, romance, and comedy all serve as distractions from our own lives. Tales of triumph over banality and adversity, however critical of the status quo, or hopeful about the future, serve only as an escape, thus consuming our desires and hypocritically exchanging them for profit. Paint the Town is different. It's full of hardship and dedication, of fratricide, sleepwalking, piracy and poverty, but more importantly, this story is about the revolution, and red paint. Lots of red paint. PAINT THE TOWN by REX WINSOME, a play for the DIY theatre circuit. NEWS! Paint the Town will have an extended local run at The Alchemist Theatre in July before hitting the road in August. After seeing The Nonsense Company and the Missoula Oblongata apply the ideal of Grotowski's Poor Theatre to punk rock style touring with theatre and being impressed to the point of envy, we started putting together our own touring show. Finishing this script became the newest in a long line of detours from Rex's longstanding project: Ulysses' Crewmen. The script is finished, and we're booking shows. We'll be heading to the east coast with musical support from local noise master, Peter J Woods. Cast: Rex Winsome, Kate Pleuss, Jason Hames Tentative schedule: August 15 - Milwaukee If you know anyone living in those cities, tell them to come and see the show. If they know something about free booking spaces, especially art spaces / galleries, ask them to contact us. If they don't know any of that but like to hang up posters and talk to strangers, tell them to contact us too. We need help promoting this thing. |
