Gathering Austinites for Laughs and Connection
Austin is about to get a vibrant dose of local humor with the launch of a new sketch comedy series, Lawn Party. Spearheaded by Originator Studios, the creators are inviting the community to join in on the festivities at their grand launch party on December 6 at Shady Springs. This won't just be another event; it's a celebration of local talent and collaboration that looks to engage the audiences right from the outset.
Supporting Local Comedy: An Opportunity for Connection
The Lawn Party event promises a blend of laughter and community spirit, featuring local comedians like Sarah Yoakley, Chad Werner, and Kaci Beeler. Regardless of the chilly weather, attendees can enjoy live sketches, stand-up routines, and good old-fashioned fun with kiddie pools and lawn games. "When you show up for Lawn Party, you’re not just supporting local comedy; you’re joining it,” says the creative team behind the project, highlighting the inclusive nature of this event.
The Vision Behind Lawn Party
Willie Rockefeller and Derek Gildersleeve, the visionaries of this project, have already made significant strides, raising over $30,000 through a Kickstarter campaign. This funding is a testament to the community's interest and support in bringing unique characters and social commentary through their sketches. Rockefeller expresses, "Lawn Party is the thing we've always wanted to make. We built the sandbox; now we’re inviting everyone to come play.” This invites not just observers, but active participants, promising a show that reflects the quirky and smart essence of Austin culture.
A Glimpse of What to Expect
If you’re unsure what to expect, think of it as a melting pot of creativity where relatable situations meet offbeat humor. The series is aimed at capturing "uniquely strange characters plucked from everyday life," ensuring there’s something relatable yet hilariously exaggerated for every audience member. As Gildersleeve mentioned, they want the entire experience to encapsulate the spirit of Austin — collaborative and slightly unhinged.
Your Chance to Be Part of Austin's Artistic Community
The event at Shady Springs presents an excellent opportunity for Austinites to immerse themselves in the local scene, connect with interesting people, and support homegrown talent. With tickets priced at $17.85, attendees can also enjoy food, drinks, and even raffles for exciting prizes like Moontower Comedy Festival badges!
As the Lawn Party crew gears up to embark on their journey of sketches that resonate with the local hearts, they emphasize that their mission goes beyond just entertainment. It’s about building bridges within the community and creating spaces where humor can thrive.
So, mark your calendars, gather your friends, and get ready to join the Lawn Party! This is one local event you won't want to miss.
In a world where digital connections can overshadow real-life interactions, events like these remind us of the power and warmth of community spirit. Embrace the chance to laugh, connect, and celebrate Austin’s creative pulse.
