pantsguys Productions present Neil Labute’s autobahn.
After a sell out season in Sydney, the show is getting packed up and flown off
to Adelaide for the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival.
pantsguys’ autobahn is a series of five vignettes that take place within the painfully hilarious
confines of a car. Witnessing a break up, a kidnapping and even a confession of infidelity,
audiences are confronted with biting reality and the viscera of humanity.
Inside that moving vehicle you are trapped, you are isolated and there is nowhere to run.
Conversations cannot be avoided, the truth cannot be hidden, we are exposed.
This painfully perplexing setting, together with LaBute’s sharp and comical writing, make
autobahn a boisterously funny show, exploring the lives and relationships of those people you
spy in the bubble next to you as you’re waiting for the lights to change.
pantsguys are thrilled to remount this lively black comedy under the exciting direction of one of
the hottest new faces in theatre, Adelaide’s very own Dale March (The Removalists and The
White Guard for STC).
But why do you need me?
pantsguys has always been about promoting young, emerging talent in a professional arena for the betterment of their careers. To allow them opportunities to work with seasoned professionals and promote themselves and their talents. However, any Independent Theatre company will tell you that producing any kind of theatre is expensive.
Attending the Adelaide Fringe is no exception. Touring. Is. HARD. But, it would mean huge exposure for our rising company and for the rising artists performing in Autobahn.
The Adelaide Fringe is one of Australia's biggest events and this year promises to be huge! Here are some numbers that agree;
- 4,000 artists in 923 events
- 250 comedy acts
- 130 theatre shows
- 170 concerts
- 100 cabaret shows
- and 110 art and design exhibitions
Woooo! This means some serious exposure for our little actor-type-peeps!
We've backed ourselves financially for over a year, cashed in favours, sold Official pantsguys Undies, raffled XBox's (and even ourselves!!) and now we need your help to take pantsguys to the next level. We can't do it without YOU.
Any help you can provide will be GREATLY appreciated and will go not only towards helping produce Australian Independent Theatre, but also Theatre that specialises in promoting emerging talent!
Will you be spending my money on wine?
No.
Your money will go towards fees associated with
- participating in the Adelaide Fringe
- venue hire
- rehearsal space
- rights
- marketing
- and transportation of sets (and bodies).
No actors will be paid for this gig. This is a passion project, and all actors involved are donating their time and energy to Autobahn because they are awesome. We may buy them a lollipop out of our own pockets, but only if they are good.
Your amazingly generous support will allow pantsguys to continue supporting and providing opportunities for our young, emerging artists!
And we get...?
Apart from the obvious warm fuzzy feeling you will get by supporting Independent Theatre, the list of donor rewards can be found to your right!
These include things such as;
- Official pantsguys Undies
- Tix to any of our 2012 season
- Backstage passes
- Invitations to our Official After Parties
- Plugs
- Shout Out's
- A "Producer" Credit
But most of all you will know that you not only helped pantsguys attend the Adelaide Fringe, but are also ensuring the longevity of the company itself.
How's THAT for a warm, fuzzy feeling??
Don't forget to spread the pants love and share this with your friends and family!
