The Grrl Action Summer Workshop is a three-week intensive workshop for teenaged girls, run by Rude Mechs, in which girls envision, create, publish, and perform original works for the stage based on their own life experiences. Every single year both performances are packed to the gills with audience members that laugh, cry, and root for these brave young womyn as they give voice to their own stories.

A Very Fond Farewell to The Oyster Club
We started The Oyster Club back in September 2008, and after four full seasons of actively exloring Austin's bountiful food and arts scenes, it's time to fish in other waters. We are grateful to all of the members who partied with us, and supported Rude Mechs and everything that goes on at The Off Center. We couldn't have done one bit of it without Marla Camp / Edible Austin, and the many many chefs, restaurants, mixologists, beverage makers, venues, and artists that contributed their time, experience, talent and goods to every event, especially Abita Brewing Company - they sponsored every single event in the 11/12 Oyster Club season!
So we are saying goodbye to The Oyster Club, but we are keeping one of the very best parts - the annual launch party - The Party at The Plant. This year, our annual fundraiser will be held at The Plant at Kyle, and will feature all of the sweet charm and salty Gulf seafood Oyster Members enjoyed every year. Save the date: Sunday September 23rd. Tickets will go on sale September 3rd (look for early bird special).
