Hi. I'm a theater company

Post by shando »

So, I realize that most of you don't know Gnap! Theater Projects. Mostly because we're a little under the radar, don't promote our brand as such, etc. So, I just wanted to let you know a little about me/us.

First, it's pronounced Guh-nap! We're named after a horrible disease that afflicts Smurfs and makes them aggressive, hunched over, and purple. The disease is passed by ass biting. Seriously, you don't want it. It makes you mean.

Second, we've been doing various stuff off and on since 2001. We produced (and soon will again at SVT, I hope) No Shame Theatre at the Hideout from '01 to '05. We've produced Out of Bounds since '05. Ditto for shows by Get Up, and other things that I've done around town. Some plays and FronteraFest shows, etc. If you think of Get Up as the band, Gnap! is the record label. Does that make sense?

We'll be producing the shows improv shows at SVT in conjunction with the classes Merlin-Works is putting on.

Third, we've got a web site coming soon. In the meantime, please become our friend at:

Any other questions? Thanks awesome community.

This is all contingent on the second stage getting tricked out soon. It's been in the pipeline for a while, but we're still not done with it. Soon I hope, with fingers crossed.

No Shame is the show where I first performed sketch comedy.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

Does that mean that Chris and Madeline and Jericho and I were in Gnap! until 2005? ;-)

No Shame! No Shame! No Shame!

i remember one time someone signed up and when it was their turn to go this dude stood up and said that instead of grabbing his girlfriends script he grabbed his calculus homework so they couldnt perform and he kept apologizing saying it was all his fault. then everyone started chanting for him to read his calculus homework. then he had to confess it was a lie and they were too scared to perform. it was so akward. simply amazing

I still to this day don't know if he was telling the truth, or that was his piece.

That's the magic!

I also think somewhere in my stacks of papers I have that 'script.'

I heart No Shame. I have shame, but I applaud those who have none.

No Shame was my first public improv experience Before my college troupe Ed 32, before my Heroes graduation show, before playing in Maestro, I took a several-week workshop with some woman named Ann Mabry who has since disappeared off the face of the earth. And a couple of us performed in No Shame with her. Late summer of 2001 probably.
