BAD KID at Artisphere

From the Artisphere press release:

Bad Kid is the hilariously heartwarming tale of a goth boy who dreamed of being anywhere but the middle of Texas in 1991. The setting is specific but the story is universal as David Crabb reflects on rebellion, sexuality, friendship and what it means to grow up different and alone—just like everyone else.

New York Times "Bad Kid" review

Hooray for Bad Kid!!!

The reviews are rolling in...

"Bad Kid" is getting some great reviews for it's 2012 run at Axis Theatre.

Flavorpill calls the show "highly entertaining."

"Behind the many laughs, a poignancy creeps in through Crabb's affectionate portrayals of the fellow outcasts who became his essential support system."
-Flavorpill

Curtain Up loved the show too and says you'll "jump in for the joyride."

"Crabb’s words simply pop in a magical way when he performs them. If reading his script is the equivalent of driving in a Camaro, then watching him perform it is like speeding down the Autobahn in a Lamborghini."
-Curtain Up

More to come y'all. Hang on to your Ankhs for a wild ride!!!

Become a Bad Kid donor!

Over the next few weeks there is much to be done and money to spend.
But Bad Kid lost his newspaper route gig because his cape kept getting caught in his bicycle chain.
Then Bad Kid got axed from his job at Borders because he talked too many girls wanting Taylor Swift CD's into purchasing Bauhaas's "Bela Lugosi's Dead" singles.
Then he got fired from his office temp job for trying to pierce his lip with a paper clip in the break room. It was a bloody mess.

Bad Kid is shedding literal fountains of black tears over this.


Axis Theatre is generously producing the show, but there are still some things to pay for. And this is where your help comes in handy.

Over at our funding page, your donation will help pay additional production costs, travel costs for the director, fees for press materials, a stage manager, posters, etc. The small stuff adds up and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Remember... NO donation is too small. Even 5 bucks will mean the world to Bad Kid. No kidding. Check out the page here:
