The Heorot Pub & Draught House and Think, Dog! Productions are uniting again to offer a theatre performance beginning May 31, 2012 and running through June 9, 2012. Scheduled performances are May 31, June 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 at 7 pm. All performances will be located on the second floor at The Heorot Pub & Draught House, 219 South Walnut St., Muncie, Indiana.  The upstairs venue is all-ages.  Tickets are $7; no reservations necessary. For information contact Lysa Franklin or Barry McMullen at (765)741-0591 or email lysabarry@sbcglobal.net.

THE ZOO STORY is the first major work of American playwright, Edward Albee. First performed in Germany in 1958, this controversial play quickly made its way to New York, where it ran for nearly 600 performances and immediately established Albee as a major voice in American theatre. In the play, a man sits peacefully reading in the sunlight in Central Park. There enters a second man. He is a young, unkempt and undisciplined vagrant where the first is neat, ordered, well-to-do and conventional. The vagrant is a soul in torture and rebellion. He longs to communicate so fiercely that he frightens and repels his listener. He is a man drained of all hope who, in his passion for company, seeks to drain his companion. With provocative humor and unrelenting suspense, the young savage slowly, but relentlessly, brings his victim down to his own atavistic level as he relates a story about his visit to the zoo.

Runtime approximately one hour.

The show is directed by Lysa Franklin and features community actors Ryan Lash and Barry McMullen. The production is sponsored by Main Street Artists of Farmland, IN and is produced through licensing by Dramatists’ Play Service.

The Guys by Anne Nelson will be presented twice on Saturday, September 12, at 4 pm and 7 pm.  Tickets $10.

The Guys by Anne Nelson is a short, moving drama about coming to terms with the events of 9/11/01.  A fire captain and a journalist work together to create eulogies for the men lost from a single station.  Using only two characters and a minimal set, the play brings focus and humanity to those lost on that day. 

Proceeds from these shows will be donated to Muncie Firefighters' Donation Fund and Fallen Heroes Memorial Bridge Fund.

Before there was any such thing as a horror movie, there was the horror play!  Think, Dog! Productions is offering up a mid-winter treat: two halves of a disturbing yet tantalizing whole. This is no-limits splatter theater, a production drenched in gallons of blood and...other things.  Huddle under the plastic sheeting with your Valentine!

Author and guest director Darrin Murrell takes his cue from the tradition of the horror play, a genre popularized by Paris's historic Grand-Guignol Theatre at the turn of the 20th century.

Act One of our original piece is Cabaret Absinthe, a dark domestic journey guided by the musical Green Fairy. Act Two, Menagerie Macabre, shifts the action to the farthest flung outposts of Eastern Europe.  These two original pieces pay homage to a style that seems ever more popular. 

Written and directed by Darrin Murrell.
Starring Josh Carroll, Mia Dietrich, Barry McMullen, Olivia Schaperjohn, Katy Wolfe.

Think, Dog Productions' final show for this season is True West by Sam Shepard. Performances are April 1-2, 8-9 and the 15th at 7:30pm in the upstairs space of the Heorot in DWNTWN Muncie.

Tickets are $8 or $5 for college students with ID. Reserve your tickets by commenting or messaging us or call 765-741-0591 and you will pay at the door (cash only, please).

True West is a classic brother versus brother tale set against the backdrop of Hollywood glamour and quiet suburban life. Set in an outer Los Angeles suburb on the edge of the desert, True West focuses on the tense reunion of two brothers that are leading very different lives.

The oldest brother, Lee, a drinking, drifting thief is visiting his estranged brother Austin and is looking to go on a burglary spree. Austin, an aspiring Hollywood screenwriter, is housesitting for their mother who is away. Austin quickly finds Lee meddling with his next project - jeopardizing all that he has been working towards. As the play unfolds and the brothers learn about each other's lives, the audience is left wondering: which brother is Cain, and which is Abel?
