Iconotheatrix Becomes Part Of It All In [TITLE OF SHOW]

Iconotheatrix presents [title of show] November 1-11, 2018 at Obsidian Theater. In [title of show], Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers, hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan, Heidi and Larry on the eighty-eights. With the cast in place, Jeff and Hunter begin a conversation about what to write about. Eventually, Jeff suggests they write about what to write about. They make a pact to write up until the festival's deadline and dream about the show changing their lives. [title of show]-taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the [title of show]-follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists. [title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre-a uniquely American art form-and to the joy of collaboration.

Iconotheatrix' production of [title of show] will be presented in the heart of the Houston Heights at Obsidian Theater. The production will run for 10 performances only from November 1-11. Tickets range from $21 for students to $26 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.iconotheatrix.org/current-production.
