Description Sawyer Stoltz and Jeremy Stilb talk the upcoming live table read of their adult film script, BULLRIDE
Event

Putting together the live stage reading hinged on developing as much camp as possible. According to Sawyer, including foley into the table read worked to amplify the whole adult-film-table-read absurdity: “It’s camp. It’s obscene. It’s overtly stupid.” A similar thought process governed their casting decisions. “What is particularly fun about a table read parody of an adult film is that the bar for acting is set really low,” Sawyer said, “[So] we honestly just rounded up the most beautiful people in Austin we could find.” MoHA as a location, however, was a more personal choice, one rooted in both Stilb and Sawyer’s artistic histories. “MoHA has been super instrumental in my creative journey and they always support artists in taking big risks,” Stilb said. “It always feels like the right fit when trying something we haven’t done before.” With this being his and Sawyer’s first script-read rodeo, so to speak, Stilb is anxious to see the reaction to their new venture: “I’m excited to find out, alongside the audience, how this is going to work.”
