Grown-Up Storytime

For the latest installment of its Grown-Up Storytime series, local underground theater troupe Boo Town took submissions from Houston writers. Unfortunately, the group’s love of the last minute means that as of press time, they still hadn’t officially selected any winners, but hell, Boo Town’s procrastination adds to its charm, making for raw and seemingly improvised performances. And luckily, Boo Towner Greg Hundemer gave us the scoop on a couple of unannounced selections.

“The Subtle Light” by Robert Hundemer (Greg’s cousin) is a Red Riding Hood-inspired tale about a girl who journeys through a forest looking for omens to save her sick grandmother. “Deconstructing the Bible” by Boo Towner Timmy Wood is a stand-up-style story recalling his Christian upbringing, a reoccurring theme in his work. At a previous Grown-Up Storytime, Greg Hundemer says Wood won the audience over with a tale about his grade-school teacher, who constantly reminded students the end was near. “As in, ‘I’m not even going to give y’all homework tonight, that’s how sure I am that Jesus is coming back tonight.’” 10 p.m. Rudyard’s, 2010 Waugh.
