Part classic standup comedy special, part teen zine vomit confessional, They, Themself and Schmerm is Becca’s disturbingly hilarious personal tale of being adopted into a Midwestern religious family, trained to be a girl, molested, and plagued by the question, “How do I become a man and do I even want that?” Becca engages in loving confrontation with the audience, asking what it truly means to be authentic in these meat carcasses.“It would have taken me two years of focus groups to make being molested that funny.” —Young Jean Lee

It takes a village. This project is presented by Rude Mechs, along with Fusebox Festival, Paul Bonin-Rodriguez, and the University of Texas at Austin’s LGBTQ Studies and Performance as Public Practice Programs.

Written by Kirk Lynn
Directed by Alexandra Bassiakou ShawThe fourth installment of our Fixing Shakespeare series. We take Shakespeare’s least-produced works and adapt them with our Rude cunning to share the raw power of what a Shakespeare play must have felt like on opening night. This time we’re tackling Henry VIII. How is it possible that even after eight Henrys, England could still think it was a good idea for a man to be king? Queen Katharine and Lady Anne Bullen have other ideas. Henry VIII was Shakespeare’s last play – in part because he burned his fucking theatre down during the production. (Maybe.)

Grageriart is back in the warehouse this month.  Join us for another showing of Grageriart’s newest project, Design 4 Everyone. We’ve got some new material, some old material and a sneak peek at no fewer than four of our videos. That’s right. VIDEOS. We are launching our YouTube micro-video series and celebrating with a few shows. THEY ARE PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN!

If you can’t make the performances, you can still catch our videos by subscribing to our channel right now. And beginning December 6th – at 10:30 a.m., we will drop one video every week for a year.

But really – just come to our show, check a videos few out, and maybe be in one as we master-class your ass in content creation. That’s right.. Let’s create some #*!%ing content.. #shopGrageriart is a band, a store, an idea, and a collaboration. A sonic exploration of mindless consumption, home shopping catalogues, and desperation. A deep embrace  of our love affair with planned obsolescence. Enjoy vegan snacks… if we make them. Browse our clothing line… if we bring it.
