LYSISTRATA NEWS!

First of all, I'd like to thank all of those who helped make A Midsummer Night's Dream a true success!

Second, I would like to take the time to announce our next production: Lysistrata. This classic Greek comedy about sex and politics follows the story of a woman and her plan to bring peace to all of Greece. This insightful, hilarious and racy show will be Greek Theatre as you have never seen it before!

Auditions have been set for March 27, 2010 from 10am - 2pm at the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, TX. The D.A.C. is located at 1110 Barton Springs Road. More information is available on the auditions page of the Chaotic Theatre website.

The show is set to open for two weekends at The City Theatre in late May / early June. It will be directed by Michael Floyd (A Midsummer Night's Dream, After The Fall).

Hope to see you all at the show!

Chaotics First Entry

Our second performance of Alice! was fantastic. It was one of the best shows we had. We scared a lot of audience members. We even heard someone say they might have peed their pants. Everyone did a fantastic job. I am so proud of all of them and the hard work they put in. Only 2 more shows remain for Alice! See it while you still can!
