Pride Variety Show

The Overtime Theater is proud to present a Pride Variety Show hosted by improv troupe All Friends this Saturday June 11th at 8PM in the Greg Barrios Theater. Come celebrate Pride with an exciting variety show filled with comedy, poetry and music! This exclusive Overtime production puts LGBTQ+ performers and artists front and center for a Queer themed night of fun entertainment. Bring some friends and make some new ones while you’re here!

Rick Copperpot from All Friends said that “Audiences can expect to see music, comedy and drag showcasing local LGBTQ+ talent that celebrates the Queer community.” The Overtime Theater strives to be a safe space for LGBTQ+ performers to share their stories with the San Antonio community. And our theater has supported the improv community for many years. When talking about The Overtime, Rick exclaims “The Overtime has been so incredibly kind and welcoming to the improv community! Not only are we excited to perform for The Overtime’s audience, we’re all so grateful to be able to contribute to the community with the live performances that we love so dearly.”

“Choreographies by Women” in Celebration of Women’s History Month Finale

The Overtime Theater will present “Choreographies by Women,” a dance showcase that focuses on the process and perspective of the choreographer, at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 27, 2022. The featured choreographers will be Sarah Davis and members of Texas State University’s Grupo Folklorico Ocotochtli. “Choreographies” will be an ongoing showcase at the Overtime Theater. The purpose of the program is to give choreographers an opportunity to further develop new works. After each performance there will be an audience feedback session led by Jade Esteban Estrada, artistic director of the Overtime Theater and former choreographer to TV star Charo. 

An active member of San Antonio’s theatre community, Sarah Davis is the resident choreographer for the Barshop Jewish Community Center’s Starz program. She has performed in Jade Esteban Estrada’s Spring Showcase and is also a current dancer with San Antonio Dance Fringe.

Texas State University’s Grupo Folklorico Ocotochtli was founded in 1993 after ten students, representing various Hispanic/Latinx organizations around campus, collaborated for what would be an award-winning performance at the annual Homecoming Talent Show of that year. GFO remains active on-and off-campus with performances in San Marcos, San Antonio, and New Braunfels. The group will return to San Antonio for the annual Festivales de Mexico National Folklorico & Contemporary Dance Competition in late April. 

“As the Overtime Theater is a home for playwrights, it seems very natural to open our doors to San Antonio choreographers,” said Estrada. “Dance is a visual art form. We would like to share with audiences the intricate process of how choreographers bring ideas to life without the spoken word.”
