Creative Fund Trivia Night February 2026

 

Me, at a Superlative Filled Locale

Do you enjoy live team trivia and helping to raise money for Austin artists?  If you said yes either count, then you should join us for the next Creative Fund trivia night on February 4th in the new Poeta in the East Austin Hotel (register in link) .  Our last trivia night fundraisers have been a blast.  We have five rounds of live trivia (I will be co-hosting) and a picture puzzle round.  If you don't do well at trivia, there are other amusing side games in which you can participate.  

Who knows?  Maybe I'll ask a question about the Grand Canyon.  Or, maybe not.  You'll have to show up to find out.

Come join The Creative Fund as we attend the choose-your-own-adventure performance of Whirligig's Deus Ex Machina, written and directed by Austin's own Liz Fisher. This a one of kind production where the audience will choose the fate of the characters overhauled from the Greek trilogy The Oresteia.
And we encourage everyone to stay after the performance, where we'll host a talk-back with the cast and crew, allowing everyone to ask questions and share their impressions.
Can't wait to see everyone at this truly remarkable and unique performance.

About the Show:

Fat Pig - A Really Heavy Comedy by Neil LaBute
COW. SLOB. PIG.
How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that question when he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus sized-and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow (although shockingly funny) friends, finally he comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of conventional good looks. Neil LaBute's sharply drawn play not only critiques our slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty but boldly questions our own ability to change what we dislike about ourselves.
Neil LaBute is a striking playwright, relevant today in his acute reflections of what it means to be alive in contemporary America. He specializes in bringing to life seemingly ordinary characters who, as the narrative unfolds, become increasingly uncomfortable to watch and to listen to. What's best about LaBute's work is that it pries its way into you, making you reflect on yourself, the type of person you are and the type of person you hope to be. LaBute's plays always nail the diagnosis, but stray far from providing any idea for a cure and this responsibility LaBute places in the hands of the audience is exactly what makes his work so necessary.
Theatre en Bloc is proud to present this up-to-the-minute comedy about falling in love in a big, big way.
