Greetings, people of the world!

After three great reviews, packed houses, and audiences who literally jumped out of their seats and threw beer cans (fortunately, hitting no one), we at Refraction Arts have decided there’s only thing left to do with this crazy little thing called The Assumption:

EXTEND IT!

That’s right, we’re adding four more performances for your hollering, happy viewing pleasure!

Seriously. This show is kicking ass and stealing hearts -- hardened theatre artist and drunken frat boy hearts alike.

That's bonafide.

So come on over to the stompy, dirty, wet, wacky, dark side. The water's cold,

and so's the beer, but the kung fu is hot and spicy (or sweet and tangy, depending

on what night you come).

The Austinist said about The Assumption, " It's intelligent, it's creative, and it's a damn good time. We highly recommend it." And they called Jeffrey Mills' performance, "knock-down, drag-out, holy-shit hysterical."

The Austin Chronicle says, "[T]he tunes are catchy, and the band rocks."

The Austin American Statesman said, "Refraction Arts' The Assumption assumes there's a group out there with a combined love for Miller High Life, Kung Fu and "Hamlet." If you're not part of that demographic, you might want to join."

Refraction Arts Project

Refraction Arts Project is dedicated to creating bold new works of art across a variety of media, including film, theater, art and music. We are especially interested in the intersection of these different media as we search for new stories, new sounds and images that pulse with life. As artists we feel it is paramount to continue learning about the world in an active and vigorous fashion. To participate, openly and fully, creating a dialogue between our selves, our work, and our community. Our vision is an immediate one, one we hope offers possibility and new ways of looking at the world. We pledge to create our art with a diligence and playful fervor and to continue to build a body of work that is alive and challenging and accessible. We pledge to speak the truth as we see it, without concealment or evasion and with a fearless unashamed frontal assault upon life that will leave no room for trepidation . . . We hope you join us.
