Loaded Gun Theory

Hey all. It's been a long time. Hope you're doing well. Some of us went out and saw a sneak peek of Max Langert's latest play "The Pact" at the Vortex. You may remember him from "Teacher, Teacher" or his many fantastic short plays in various Slapdash Flimflammeries.

In any case, we highly recommend it. It's dark. It's funny. If you like this page it's probably right up your alley.

THE PACT OPENS THIS WEEK! Grab your , grab your and get your today! https://sforce.co/3ePxktw
Next up on our "Meet the Cast" is Natalie D. Garcia (Nancy/Marketing Director): Natalie returns to the JP stage after a few years and is super jazzed to be working with Will again! Their previous JP collab was Significant Other in 2018. Natalie has had the pleasure of working with Bottle Alley, Different Stages, Street Corner Arts, Filigree Theater and is a ColdTowne regular with her improv duo Mike & Ike as well as her group Pylon. When she’s not onstage Natalie enjoys spending time with her lovely, supportive family.

They say these dogs are recreating a Kanye West video, but I'm pretty sure it's our poster from Slapdash Flimflammery 6: Live Si # # # Show!

P.S. We're working on a FronteraFest piece. Gods. Monsters. Death. The Universe. Workplace Dissatisfaction. Shoot us an email if you want to be involved.

Check out this cool promo video from Anna Ford Larson. And make sure to get your tickets for the show tonight!

You may remember Loaded Gun Theory advocating for cat parks as part of World Theater Day a few years back. Whether with singing zombies, bombing Iraq or building play space for cats - we always seem to be inspiring others to action.

Help open the Ground Floor Theatre!

[LGT] The Ground Floor Theatre Loaded Gun Theory does not own its own theater space. This means we must rent a space for every show we do. If you've been with us a long time you've probably seen us move as spaces closed. Many of the spaces where we used to perform are gone. From our start with "Dowdy Ferry" and "M K Ultra" at The…

This one still looks like magic to me.

Travis is hard at work at editing the tons of photos he took of the Metal Queen, but in the mean time, here's one of Diane having an emotional breakdown while her daughter and best friend laugh at her. Shame on you, Holly and Abby!

Anna Ford Larson, the co-composer and keyboardist for Death by Dronius in The Metal Queen, also has her own band, along with Death by Dronius bassist Steve Durham called The Wheelwrights. Check them out and see how incredibly versatile Anna is! From Metal to Americana, and everything in-between, Anna does it all!

The Wheelwrights Americana music from Austin, Texas.

Seven has zero sympathy for Jen's fate.

Diane and Gretchen have got their masks ready for another weekend of robbing houses! The Drone batteries are charging. So come on out to the Off-Center tonight through Saturday at 8pm for what one of our dear friends of LGT described as "Kind of like Breaking Bad with the main characters replaced by Lucy and Ethel, with a live Metal band and a drone."
