Yo peeps! I’m going to be at the Bayou City Arts Festival this weekend. Classical Theatre Company is presenting some Commedia dell’Arte and I’m overjoyed to be part of these scenes. Come out and check out some art, and swing by at 2pm to see myself, Phil Hays, Jessica Boone-Hedrick, Jared Doreck and Roland Ruiz show off our commedia chops. It should be fun!

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, it has recently been announced that a show that I’m working on is going to be part of the Houston Fringe Festival! It’s going to be crazy fun and I can’t wait. Thanks BooTown!

Grown Up Story Time 23

Paul Salazar Jr — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:00:14 +0000

Come one and come all to see me host the 23nd Grown Up Storytime. It’s like a beatnik poetry reading meets Saturday Night Live. Only $5 gets you entertainment.

What’s Boo Town‘s Grown Up Storytime? People write stories and send them into Boo Town. Boo Town then goes and finds comedians or actors and hands them the stories. What happens with the story after the performer receives the story is always a mystery. There are no rules so it’s always unpredictable, live and fun.

Date has changed, price stays the same.

El Duende, the show that Satan tried to stop, is tonight. Its a fun Halloween show in November. If you don’t have plans stop on by and have a little fun. Peace!

Date Change for El Duende

Paul Salazar Jr — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:49:15 +0000

Due to disastrous weather El Duende has been moved from it’s scheduled date to November 3rd. A Halloween show in November? That’s right peeps. That’s what happens when your parade gets rained on. I don’t want to hear any excuses, go watch some awesome outdoors theatre!

El Duende

Is the horse upside down or the words? It's your call...

El Duende, based on Columbian folklore is BooTown’s Halloween show this year. For the past two years BooTown has done spooky themed shows Fitcher’s A Bastard (But His Birds Alright) in 2007 and Spaghetti Head last year.

El Duende is about a young married couple, myself and Colleen Moore, going to the country for a funeral. The husband is introduced to the strange family, played by Hoja Lopez, Jared Doreck, Blair Knowles, and David Glenn Spencer, and traditions that his wife wishes she left behind. We soon learn that there is more than just embarrassing family members that makes the wife not want to return to the country…(scary music here).

This show is improvisational, based off an outline written by BooTown and carefully overseen by director Emily Hynds. I have had a blast working on this show and think that it will be fun to watch. It is outdoors in a back yard so bring a jacket!

Get Thee Gone, Timmy Wood!

Paul Salazar Jr — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:12:29 +0000

Today Houston says goodbye to a true American hero. By “true American hero” I mean local writer, comedian and actor. Get Thee Gone Timmy Wood is a revue of projects that he has worked on combined into a variety show of sorts. It should be hilarious and slightly effeminate, just like the man himself.
