FALLOUT FRINGE
TSTMRKT Founder Ernest Hemmings has taken on the task of establishing the first hub of the Las Vegas Fringe Festival called the Fallout Fringe Arts Festival. The festival will expand the footprint of the festival to the greater Downtown Las Vegas area including the Arts District and 18b. Cornerbar Management, Notoriety Live, Vegas Theatre Company, The Cornish Pasty, and Majestic Rep Theatre have agreed to come on as partners. Fallout Fringe Arts will offer a platform to performance artists who are pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional theatre. The festival will run from June 6th - June 25th. More information on the festival can be found at www.falloutfringe.org

Teaming Up With Indecline

Toronto Sketchfest
TSTMRKT is headed to the frozen tundra (sort of) of Canada to appologize profusely and perform their special brand of comedic performance art. They have two shows in Toronto at the Theatre Center on Queen St: March 13th and March 14h with high hopes of making inroads in case shit goes completely sideways in the USA and they have to hightail out of the dangerzone. Tickets are on sale now and can be found HERE.
Asheville Fringe Festival
TSTMRKT will venture across the Mason-Dixon line for the first time ever! After years of people saying "the South is not what you think," the comedic performance project is making its way to the Asheville Fringe Festival on March 22 and March 23 at the BeBe Theatre. Tickets and more information can be found HERE.
TSTMRKT X Chepshot
TSTMRKT will begin a new relationship with Las Vegas nightlife afficianado Cornerbar Management and bring their show to the world famous Cheapshot Showroom in Downtown Las Vegas (517 Fremont St. Las Vegas, NV USA). The team is slated to perform a series of shows including duo and solo versions of TSTMRKT.
"We're incredibly excited to begin this new adventure and cannot wait to see how performance art will be received in venue that normally hosts burlesque acts."

TINFOIL HABERDASHERY OPENS IN PA
03.14.16
"Tinfoil Haberdashery" by Ernest Hemmings will open at PACA in Erie, PA for a limited one-month engagement. The buzz surrounding this production has intensified with the Bundy clan's recent shenanigans in Oregon that lead, eventually, to a firefight with armed, federal agents and the death of one of the militia members who attempted to seize a federal wildlife preserve. Tickets for the production in Pennsylvania are available through the PACA website.
Interview with Ernest Hemmings about Tinfoil Haberdashery HERE.
LAUNCH OF MUCH AWAITED DVDA!
11.15.15
DVDA is about to launch in Las Vegas and tickets are now available! Seating is limited so we suggest that you get a ticket now rather than later. This is not a "sales ploy." We are playing this show at The Attic, which happens to have a great space, but not a whole lot of it, so you really should get a ticket now. We will not be repeating this version of the show again since this performance is being done with the sole purpose of creating another version based on the feedback from the "test market" audience, the next performance will be completely different. Possibly. Wait...no...defnitely. Tickets are available here. Totally

Lenny Flatley, who has penned columns and articles for the likes of Gizmodo, The Verge, and many other popular "nerd click" sites, and started more bands than Al Jorgensen, has brought his "cut-n-paste" style to the DVDA production team. You can read his brainy, content-heavy site HERE and check out our favorite sample of his video work HERE. "Dude is righteous and smart, and happens to be a childhood friend."
