First No Shame of the Season!

Alright, we've officially done it, we had our first show of the season last night in Joe and Verbrigghe's basement, and for a first show, it went over very well! There was a short, solid lineup of original pieces performed in front of a packed, responsive and appreciative audience, and hey, we even had pizza and nudity, the constant in-joke among us No Shame LaX-ians. Without further ado, here was our line-up.

No Shame will return within a few weeks and we promise to be back with a vengeance again. Until then. . .

    And there you have it, the most jam-packed No Shame that La Crosse has ever attempted: Sixteen stellar pieces of daredevil acting! We had funny songs, we had touching songs, we had shamelessly improvised and ad-libbed works, realism, product placement, and best of all, no gratuitous genital piercing! No Shame LaX will be back again next semester when we lose the talented musical stylings of Joe, but regain the all-out shameless performing styles of Troy Iverson. See you in January, and for God's sakes, don't be afraid to perform anything!
