No Shame Theatre - Fifteen brand new scripts jump from page to stage each and every week. With less than an hour to go before show time, writers are jammed together with actors and directors to create wholly original works of comedy, drama, music, movement and furry hand puppet sex slavery - none of which lasts more than five minutes. It's high energy/high risk theater, and writers are encouraged to take chances they’ve never before taken. Since starting in the back of a pickup truck in Iowa in 1986, No Shame has launched the careers of many actors, including John Leguizamo, Camryn Manheim, D. B. Woodside and Toby Huss, and such writers as Pulitzer-nominated Rebecca Gilman, MacArthur fellow Naomi Wallace and Jeff Goode. The award-winning event has spread to more than a dozen cities, been the subject of Ph.D. theses, graced the cover of national magazines, and spawned several major plays (call for details). Artists are encouraged to arrive before 10:00 pm to be in the show at 11:00.
