Yellow Lab Produc ons
“We’re not trying to be be er than any other company or shows. Art is subjec ve. It’s not a compe on. We just want to be di erent.”
Big things o en have small be- ginnings. This is the case with every theatrical produc on; what begins as an awkward read-through of a script bears li le resemblance to the nal show and performances. It is o en hard to believe it is the same group of people who, in a mere few week’s me, have transformed a s lted reading into a moving pro- duc on. Yellow Lab Produc ons, an independent theatre company opera ng in the Hill Country for the last six years, is no excep on to this rule.
Yellow Lab is commi ed to bring- ing an alterna ve brand of theatre to the local Hill Country communi- ty, specializing in producing shows
that are intended for adults, that are innova ve, unique, and power- ful. “We’re not trying to be be er than any other company or shows. Art is subjec ve. It’s not a compe - on. We just want to be di erent,” says founder, David McGu . The Kerrville community is rich with theatre with Playhouse 2000 and the Point Theatre each producing six full, mul -week run shows per year. In addi on, Schreiner Univer- sity’s Flag is Up program, as well the award winning educa onal theatre at Tivy, Ingram, and Ban- dera high schools, among others, have been very successful yet quite tradi onal.
