No Shame Theatre Archives (1993-94)

Webmaster's note: This information is pieced together from personal records of past archivists. If you have information that will fill in the gaps, PLEASE let us know.

Archivist's note: Dates in [brackets] are possible Friday performances of No Shame, however, we have no other information about these dates at this time, which in some cases may mean that there was not a performance. (This is especially true at the beginning and end of semesters, since the starting / ending dates of No Shame changes from year to year).

KEY:
Author(s) - Title (Performers, if known)

  1. Numbered entries indicate the piece's position in the order.

From Shannon McCormick's My History at No Shame:

"In the fall of 1993, J.C. Luxton moved back to Iowa City. He and I did the Old Men Again pieces pretty much every week. Jen Shepard resigned from the board, and I became the chair through the end of the school year. Larry Pontius joined as treasurer. Robb Barnard started hosting most of the time. So I think the board was me, Tasha, Robb, Larry, and (I think) Stephanie Frey. That year, Nekkid Percussion didn't work together quite as much, but we still did a number of pieces, and started working with other people. This marked the beginning of Megan Gogerty's time at No Shame. At the end of 1994, Clint Corley staged his collection of No Shame pieces past, but I forget what it was called. Clint's Shame, I think."
