We would like to thank Amy Cartwright of the Independence Brewery for being a kick ass host, Tatiana, Atlas and Evander for letting us take over their guest house for a couple of months, the cast for being the kind of dorks that have heaps of busted old tech in their attics and garages, and our incredibly supportive Company Members.

this production is performed on land stolen from the Caddo, Coahuiltecan, lipan apache, karankawa, tonkawa and witchita people.

the area of east austin and del valle were settled by austin's black and latino populations that are currently being priced out of the city they helped build.

acknowledging this fact doesn't undo the generational harm done to our neighbors.

A portion of tonight's ticket sales will go to Indigenous cultures institute and Dawa, two excellent organizations that invest in supporting and sustaining indigenous and black culture in central texas.
