T21… OUR LASTEST PROJECT NOW IN PRODUCTION!

Click the T21 link above to visit the T21 Page for all the latest info!!!

















WHAT DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY DO???

We constantly get asked "What is it that you guys actually do?" Totally understandable since the majority of our work over the past decade has been on projects in development, only seen by small groups of people. We also know that this is social media, so responses over 140 characters are generally considered TMI. So while it still won't answer the question at hand --- at least its got pictures. hahaha.

THE EARLY SHOWS 1996-2003

From 1996 to 2003 we wrote and produced a string of original community theatre musicals on a shoestring budget with the help of some brilliant Tulsa performers and volunteers.

We recently dug up a stack of decade-old VHS tapes so you could see some of the madness we put on stage in our early years.  (This montage leans towards the lighter, Musical-Comedy side of our work.)



From our shows: A Song of Greenwood (1998, 2001,) Moved (1999,) The Edge of Town (1999. 2001) and Roofless (2002, 2003).




Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

T21 Update - "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!"


T21 UPDATE
Exciting news about our next project!

After months of laying the preliminary ground work, one-on-one meetings with folks banging out ideas, trying to give shape to a molten mound of creative concepts, and a coupla typical "false starts," last night was our first large group meeting of potential T21 teams members.
  
We pitched the entire project to them to gauge the level of interest.  Granted, it wasn't the most spectacular of pitches because it came from the droning voice of one of the behind-the-scenes, not-so-charismatic creators (me.) hahaha.  But take heart LoJoFam, the pitch audience was full of some of the most charismatic, skilled performers, facilitators and production technicians in Tulsa… and the response was very positive!  These folks are ALWAYS the key to transforming the ideas from the LoJobrain into amazing works of art - and TRUST, we're assembling a stellar group of artists for this project!!!  

So the ball is rolling; the elevator has started its climb; the train is pulling out from the station… pick your metaphor  --- T21 is gonna be HOT!!!!


MARK YOUR CALENDARS!  MAY 31st, 2014!!  
Dance Workshop with a world-renowned Street Dance master and a Special, Limited-Seating Live "T21 Launch" Show, full of Amazing Performances and Previews of Two T21 films in Production! 


Lots of opportunities for performers, casts and crews, sponsors and supporters of all kinds!!!  More information coming this weekend when the T21 Web Page officially launches!!!

LoJoTHROWz (throwback thursday) - Branjae! And ASOG honored by Jim Hirsch


Branjae is one of Tulsa's most in-demand performers. She tears up a stage like no one can!  
But to us, this superstar will always be our lil sis "P-Nutt" hahaha.   We've worked with her since she was around 12.  yup.    Yesterday was her birthday so we thought we'd pull out some old shots (ones that weren't TOO embarrassing hahaha.)
Above: Here's P-Nutt at the "Roofless" Demo Cast Recording, singing the part of Lil Tiff, 2005, Tulsa. 

Above: P-Nutt returned to the Roof in 2009 for a table read of "Roofless" in the principle role of Sela.  The bros, left to right are J-Fresh, who joined us from Dallas & Mike Fruga, our Tulsa homie by way of North Hollywood.
