Catalyst Repertory

A little visual preview of LOLCow by Casey Ross!

🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

We had our first read through for this new 2-hander featuring Catalyst new comers Tony Thompson and Dustin Miller and we are looking very forward to bringing our 15th original Fringe script to the 2026 IndyFringe Festival!

Tickets are on sale NOW, so you might as well pop over to the IndyFringe website and browse the selection for this year's exciting festival. And, just because we're a little creepy in photos (okay...and show) still come say 'Hi' at the Curtain Call Cantina (that's the Beer Tent for OGs), we promise we're nice folx off stage!

And, another thing! These stunning images were taken for FREE by our friend Indy Ghost Light. If you have a show in Fringe, if you have an event, if you need your show filmed (seriously check out our YouTube, we got video!)...you wanna call this ghost without the 'busters. Of course, if you can donate to this worthy cause, DO THAT. Small groups like Catalyst get to shine, in Indy, because this invaluable service exsists - so you better thank that ghost with bevs, cash, and gifts of show merch. We can't recomend this enough. We work too hard to not capture these productions. (If you're bored look through the archieves on the Indy Ghost site...WOW Indy, we are TALENTED!)

***Do be forewarned that this show is recommended 16+ and deals with themes of s*xual assult, abuse, under-age grooming, and some not very nice stuff that people do online...if you have any specific concerns please reach out to Casey Ross and she will be happy to address those concerns and how the topics are presented in the play.***

Catalyst Repertory Theatre Catalyst Repertory is an Indianapolis-based, repertory, community theatre company. Catalyst focuses on producing new plays or new adaptations of classic plays. Probably known best for their contributions to the IndyFringe (we've created 14 original Fringe shows!), this small company is known for it'...

And now, for something completely different...

We're about to start work on our *15* original IndyFringe production, and we are THRILLED to be bringing 2 BRAND NEW faces to the team, for LOLCow by Casey Ross!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“LOLCow: Noun, plural—LOLCows...Internet slang—derogatory, in nature—for a person whose eccentric or foolish behavior can be exploited to amuse an audience.”

In a ‘wild west’ of morality, like the Internet, Luke prides himself in upholding his rules of what makes a deserving target for online trolling. He lives by standards such as “...great LOLCows are not good people”, until a fresh new scandal around his star subject, Jasper, brings to light all the flaws in having rules for navigating the Internet—because rules, and those who make them, are only made to be broken, online...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
LUKE...TONY THOMPSON
JASPER...DUSTIN MILLER

DIRECTED AND CONCEPTUALLY DESIGNED BY CASEY ROSS
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LOLCow is a play about the darker parts of ourselves found within society's new boom of technological autonomy...you know, like the comment section of YouTube, for example.

One final note.
