No Shame Theatre Archives (1992-93)

Webmaster's note: This information is pieced together from my personal records which were intended mostly to help me keep track of my own writing. If you have information that will fill in the gaps, PLEASE let us know.

Archivist's note: Dates in [brackets] are possible Friday performances of No Shame, however, we have no other information about these dates at this time, which in some cases may mean that there was not a performance. (This is especially true at the beginning and end of semesters, since the starting / ending dates of No Shame changes from year to year).

KEY:
Author(s) - Title (Performers, if known)

  1. Numbered entries indicate the piece's position in the order.

From Shannon McCormick's My History at No Shame:

"The next year (1992-1993), Joshua and I teamed up with John Smick and Brooks Peck. Our first piece was called "Little League Hamlet." We pretty much did a piece every week that year, and after a few weeks we started calling ourselves Nekkid Percussion. Highlights include pieces "Alive!" and "Ball." "

SEVENTH SEASON - SPRING SEMESTER '93

From Shannon McCormick's My History at No Shame:

"In January or February, Doug Dawson resigned from his job as stage manager live on stage in a piece where he played hangman with Tasha Robinson. Tasha was trying to spell his phrase, which was "I'm sorry but I'm through." I still have the piece of paper, which I nabbed at the end of the show. The next week, Jen Shepard, who was on the board, asked a number of people to join the board (which brought membership to five, which I think it has pretty much been since then). I was asked to be treasurer, Robb Barnard joined, Tasha Robinson, and a fifth person whom I can't remember."

SUMMER 1993

From Shannon McCormick's My History at No Shame:

"That summer, No Shame sponsored the Theater of Treacherous Intent, a four part serial that took place in the Unitarian Church in July. The idea was originally Jen and Margie's, but a lot of us wound up getting involved-I helped Jen and Margie administratively, as well as with the writing. Aaron Cain wrote a ton and Rebecca Gilman also wrote quite a bit. Adam Burton or Megan Gogerty might have the scripts somewhere. It might be cool to get them online one of these days as well."
