The Show
Josh Radde’s Thespianic Ambitions
Hey everyone.
I know we mentioned it briefly on Episode 45 of Strong Words, but I’m doing a play, which opens this week. So for everybody that can make it out to Elgin Community College’s SecondSpace Theater during the next three weekends–prepare to have your faces melted by high-octane drama and actorial genius.
Spring’s Awakening by Frank Wedekind was originally written back in 1891, but because it featured themes of rape, sex, masturbation, suicide, matricide, atheism, homosexuality, and violence (all involving CHILDREN), it was censored until the dawn of World War I. Wedekind’s tale is considered one of the pioneering works of German Expressionism and Spring’s Awakening is more or less a morality tale urging that children be taught sexual education properly. It highlights the dangers of abstinence-only sex education and explores what kinds of evils can transpire when children are left to interpret the maturation of their bodies on their own.
Come check it out. It’ll make you laugh, cry, think, and leave you on the edge of your seat.

josh. . . quit pimping your extracurriculars on the SWinc homepage. this website is for SWinc related projects only.
this happens again, you’re gonna get rick roll’d. big time.
p.s. FIRSTIES MUTHAFUCKA.
How is it for SWinc projects only when our show is “sponsored” by Assault Shirts? Assault isnjust as relevant as my show.
Assault shirts is a sponsor. . . As far as I know, we haven’t received any money from the ECC production of “Spring’s Awakening.” As soon as we cash that first check (and spend it on Campari). . . pimp away. Until such time as that. . .
I find this egregious!
P.S. New Chateaux album DEMONstrationZ available sometime next month!!!
Last I checked, Tim and I bought the equipment, so as much as Assault is a sponsor, any endeavor I deem worthy of website content I will write.
Plus, your face is egregious.
So the truth finally comes out about why you bought out your share of the equipment! So you could pimp all shitty future endeavors!
Well played, sir - most people would be timid about using my shaky financial status against me in such a snarky fashion, but you suffer no such fear.
It’s called business tact. Why do you think Tom Cruise bought United Artists? No one wants to cast him anymore. But now, he can work FOREVER.
did you know you’re a cunt?
Hey buddy, takes one to know one.
