Rude Mechs is proud to present a revisited, reworked, and recast encore performance of our original play The Method Gun, this time on our home turf, The Off Center.

The Method Gun explores the life, ethos, and techniques of actor-training guru, Stella Burden, as recounted through the eyes of her students. Ms. Burdens training technique, The Approach, fused Western acting methods and more dangerous METHODS in an effort to infuse even the smallest of roles with SEX, DEATH and VIOLENCE. We promise: guns, pendulums, Streetcar, and physical danger. We make no claims on behalf of narrative, common sense, or safety.

"This is the Rude Mechanicals doing what they do best: crafting a rich series of stunning and surprising visual moments, lacing those moments with kinetic physical movement and wrapping it all together with a script both lyrical and cheeky." Austin American-Statesman

"The final performance of Burdens Streetcar features a characteristically Rude-ish blend of physicality and audaciousness... so precisely timed, so crisply executed... almost hypnotic." Austin Chronicle
