SceneShop Offers a Surprising Ride with "Vince Banyon"
2009 is SceneShop's fifth year to participate in Out of the Loop. In the past, we've offered programs of three or so short pieces, since that's what we specialize in. But this year, we have something new. It started last August, when longtime contributor Grayson harper (a noted Fort Worth writer and visual artist) approached me, saying he was writing a piece about an hour long and would I be interested in looking at it? "It's pretty weird," he cautioned me. Weird, however, has never been a deterrent to SceneShop and after I read the first pages Grayson gave me, I couldn't wait to read the rest.
Long story short, SceneShop's contribution to the 2009 Out of the Loop Fringe festival is the world premiere of "The Interrogation of Vince Banyon." This is a smart and surprising piece and we've assembled a cast- Seth Johnston, Nicholas Irion, Stephen Eyre- that's up to the challenge. After a read-thru in early December, Grayson made some revisions to his script and our rehearsals will be starting soon. I'll be back with more info.

Welcome to the Out of the Loop Fringe Festival Blog
Welcome to the official blog for the 2009 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival!
This year we are trying something brand new. We're giving all of our OOTL participants access to the blog with an open invitation to post what they want, as much as they want. We're hoping this inside access to the artists and their work will inspire you to visit the festival and check out some of the best in theatre, dance, music and art from around the country!
Last night was the first official meeting of all the organizations. I can't quite tell you everyone who's in the festival yet - that is coming very soon I promise! But I can tell you we have a very exciting line up - I think one of the best in our eight year history (but of course I'm biased!).
Be sure to check back here often or subscriber to our RSS feed to get all the inside scoop as it occurs.
And here's a bit of mandatory marketings - festival passes are still the best way to experience the festival. $60 gets you into everything. It's a steal. If you want a pass, call the box office at 972.450.6232. Single tickets to the festival go onsale February 17!

NINETY EIGHT theatre 2009 OOTL DEBUT-MAKES IT DO WHAT IT DO
FAIRYTALE BLUES
Lights-Music- and laughter
In a crowded smoked hazed night club on the corner of Hollywood and Claude a young black horn player stands confidently at the groove tube trumpeting subtle notes into the air; he pauses for a moment, takes a hit of some a dat good sh*t, flicks the doobie onto the sweat stained hardwood stage, his blue and white Stacy Adams (size 10 to be exact) casually grinds the rest into powder as he snaps his fingers and coos out in a jazzy tone, "double time" the band kicks into overdrive and the crowd goes crazy.
"Play dat Song!" shouts an oltimer.
"shake dem legs, baby shake dem legs!" sings a goodtimer. HIS HORN BLARES NOTES OF INNOCENCE, discontentment, and rage on a kick ass improv.
As he tells his story they dance the night to a new sun.
Little boy blu' come blow your horn!
