Rude Mechs

Rude Mechs
Rude Mechs is an Austin-based collective theatre company that has created a genre-averse cocktail of over 30 original plays since its founding in 1995, full of big ideas, cheap laughs, and dizzying spectacle. What these works hold in common are the use of play to make performance, the use of theaters as meeting places for audiences and artists, and the use of humor as a tool for intellectual investigation.
