Cuddle puddle at #CarterStubbs final dress at the Magnolia Lounge in Dallas! See it. Do it. Love it. #sundown #theatre #growlrah (at Nouveau 47 Theatre)

Back again tonight at Nouveau 47! Come see us tonight, tomorrow, or Saturday at 8pm - check our website for more details!

The group at Sundown Collaborative make the perfect partner for McEntire’s work. It’s one of those great times when one plus one equals more than just two: McEntire with his inventive text and Sundown with their patented, unique process and staging.

—	Kris Noteboom’s TheaterJones review of Carter Stubbs Takes Flight. We’ve got one more show in Denton TONIGHT, then we’re running Thursday-Saturday at Nouveau 47 next weekend!

Patrick Emile did a lot of great work on arranging children’s songs for the pre-recorded music used in the show. Listen to a rough draft of one of the songs, and see if you can pick it out when you see the show!

Everyone is all about easter fun and I’m over here at build day pulling some masks together. Going well so far though! #theatre #carterstubbs #masks

We’ve done SO MUCH today. Been working since about 11am. Masks, bananas, hearts are built. 30 pieces of cardboard measuring 2 1/2 feet by 7 feet have been constructed. We are about to build pieces out of that cardboard. This show is HUGE. I’m nervous but excited. And most importantly, proud of everyone working on this show.

MISSION:
Sundown Collaborative Theatre strives to produce plays as holistic pieces of art that evolve from a collaborative process. We want to explore contemporary and classical theatre along with poetry, music, and dance to present innovative performances. By truly working as a collective of artists and utilizing all of our individual abilities, we believe we can create shows that are relevant to who we are both artistically and personally. The visceral experience of a Sundown Collaborative Theatre production should impact audiences by provoking thought and inciting discussion.

Sundown Collaborative Theatre formed late in 2007. Frustrated by the lack of opportunity and driven by artistic passion, six Denton artists began work on a unique project. Using original text, music, and choreography they rehearsed when and where they could, often at odd hours and odd places. They explored new ideas, methods, and emotions to form an artistic collage. The result, Conversations About Love, premiered in March 2008 at Green Space Arts Collective in Denton.

The production set the precedent of passionately pursuing artistic endeavors by all available means. Sundown adheres to the idea that art is about the people involved, and that time and energy can be used in less than traditional ways. The company has held late night meetings to plan and discuss, rehearsed in apartments and garages, and performed in basements. Throughout it all, Sundown hopes to continue to work collectively to challenge each other as artists and produce shows that are never lacking passion.
