Get ready for Rude Mechs’ annual benefit - The Eye Ball - this year with a Pop Art theme. Our host, Andy Warhol, will guide you through an evening of spilling drinks and shakin’ it at “the factory.” Put on your grooviest garb and show your face in support of Austin’s favorite theatre company. Like the best Pop Art, Rude Mechs is proud to keep bringing you homegrown theatre that’s accessible, transient, low-cost, witty, and glamorous. And just like Andy, we’re inviting all of Austin’s superstars to a high-brow party with a low-brow soul to revel in our communal 15 minutes of fame.

The annual Eye Ball is the social event of the season, with more than 250 people each year crossing the threshold of Rude Mechs’ home - The Off Center – to rub shoulders with art lovers and supporters from across the city. So mark your calendars now to join the Rude Mechs as they put the “arty” back in the party!

All proceeds benefit Rude Mechs’ 2006/07 Season at The Off Center.
