| Playwright(s): Adapted from Moliere by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell |
Vaudeville and Commedia Dell' Arte are seamlessly woven into an uproarious fable of scheming lovers, mistaken identities, and clownish greedy servants. Balancing on a delicately taut tightrope of mischief and revenge, the crafty servant Scapin promises to help two pairs of wide-eyed lovers while juggling an array of elaborate disguises to keep their wealthy fathers from discovering the truth. Remaining true to Moliere's classic farcical tale from the seventeenth century, this fresh and side-splitting adaptation adds a late twentieth century spin to the language and hilarious non-stop action. This production features some of San Antonio's most talented actors including recent Juliard School of Drama graduate Brendan Spieth in the titular role. |

7 actors, 36 characters, 80 minutes. One Hell of a Ride! Hellcab is a eighty-minute joy ride created through a collection of scenes from a day in the life of a Chicago cabbie.

These sharply etched blackouts and cameos are capped by a stunning and very touching final scene. "The show is another winner from the consistently must-see AtticRep." -Deborah Martin, Express News |

What the F@#k Was That? That's what people all over San Antonio, Austin and South Texas will say after seeing Evil Dead The Musical... the only musical in the world with a splatter zone. This hilarious stage show features elements from the classic cult horror films "Evil Dead 1," "Evil Dead 2," and"Army of Darkness" combined into one night of blood-spattering, zany, zombie fun. Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons are telling bad jokes... and all to music. The songs in the show are completely off the wall as well. Titles like "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "What the F*@k was That" will have you rolling in your seats, and screaming for more and more blood. You don't need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don't need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don't even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun... this show is for you. |

ComedySportz is the Alamo City's original fast-paced, family-friendly improvisational comedy, played as a sport. Two teams take turns making up scenes, playing games and singing songs – and the audience votes on which team they like the best. It's all presided over by a referee, who keeps things moving, calls the ComedySportz fouls and takes suggestions shouted out by the audience before each game. If you've seen TV's Whose Line Is It Anyway? or Improv-A-Ganza, you've got the basic idea, although ComedySportz's two-team competitive format ensures a fast-paced, high-energy show - and seeing this live show is very different from watching a TV show. |

| The Playhouse SA - Cellar Theater |
| Times: March 21-April 6, 2014 |
| Playwright(s): by Bruce Norris |
A single house becomes the backdrop for provocative clashes about race, community, and gentrification in 1959 and 2009, forcing audiences to consider just how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. Clybourne Park, originally inspired by A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, proves that these themes are just as relevant today as ever. |
