After much planning and other work, MPIII is pleased to announce that we finalized some of our public show dates in the DFW area for the month of September (we are finalizing October as well…)
Our first shows will be September 12th and 26th, at the Plano Community Theatre in…Plano (what a coincidence, eh?). (map) (link).
Its a very nice and intimate venue (no, not that kind of intimate) perfect for improv.
While we won’t be doing our famous water balloon shows, we are going to add a few extra tricks to our traditional high intensity improv sets. Get ready for some scene work, and possibly some actual acting (well, you know…) in the latter parts of the show.
Check out our tickets page for to get discount tickets online for these first shows. Seating is limited (no, really, and we don’t mean you need to work out first) so get your tickets early (ticket page).

We will be there !
you betcha!
Some folks have asked us a few questions about our shows on the 12th and 20th…so here are some answers:
Q: You guys are finally doing shows?
A: Yes, the witness protection program cleared it.
Q: Are you just doing these two?
A: These are the first two scheduled shows.
Q: You have more after that?
A: We are working on dates for shows in October, but a lot of that will depend on turn out for the first two. We will have two for certain, and maybe a week night show.
Q: You guys know that Screams is starting, and has rehearsals soon?
A: DOAH! Well, yeah. Um…that’s why we have the show on the 12th…yeah, that’s it. Come see that one.
Q: Are they water balloon shows?
A: No, they are not. They will be similar to faire shows, but have some different elements. Kind of returning to our traditional stage roots.
Q: Like what? I can’t hit beavis?
A: Like some structures that just don’t’ work well outdoors and we are also slowly working long form and scene structures into our shows.
Q: Long form?
A: Yes, we are mixing some scene type stuff, and eventually plan on full long form shows in addition to our mixed format shows. Some will be funny, some serious, hopefully all entertaining.
Q: Who will be in these shows?
A: Our first shows will be with a subset of some of our other players, and we will slowly expand the ranks as we get things established.
Q: How much are the tickets again?
A: For the shows on the 12th and 26th, they are $10 each, pre-sale, and $12 at the door. However, we are offering a 2 for 1 special on our website.
Q: Why are you doing two for ones?
A: These days lots of folks have really tight budgets, and we wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to come and see our shows.
Q: Can I hit beavis if I pay full price?
A: Of course! But not with a water balloon, we are in an actual theatre this time. See me after the show and I will rent you a brick.
Q: Will you have concessions at the show?
A: We will be selling non-alcoholic drinks, and beavis has beer of his to share, if you give him a few bucks.
Q: You forms of payment you guys take?
A: On our website, we take paypal and credit cards (via paypal). At the show it will be strictly cash only (we have to pay our mafia connections you know). For private shows we have been known to take…um…nevermind.
Q: What if I can’t make the show, or think you guys are not worth $5?
A: Oh snap! We will put excerpts from it online later, and maybe into a future podcast.
Q: You guys have a podcast?
A: Yes, we have faces made for radio, check them out.
Q: Where can I get more info/buy tickets/listen to you podcast/make fun of beavis?
A: On our website, here read the menu.
Q: Where else can I follow you guys?
A: We have an rss feed on our site, we are on facebook, myspace and twitter (motleyplayers3).
Q: Wow, I did not realize you guys are so organized.
Actually this is like a ton of work, and we are still working on it.
A: we are not, its an act.

Definitely coming on the 26th, with 3 confirmed in tow. Still getting my group together, hopefully looking at more like 6 in tow, and still striving for more. I’m so excited. =D
