SEASON 17 ARCHIVE | May 2005
a 3-Camera Filming of the Cocert Film/Documentary
12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Family
Written and performed by Rob Nash | presented by the VORTEX

VORTEX Repertory Company is pleased to present 4 special performances of award-winning writer/ performer Rob Nash's 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Family. These performances will be filmed by Austin's own Cenozoic Studios for a special new concert film/documentary of Rob's dysfunctional family epic. So come on out and be a part of the film!

Before The Holy Cross Quadrilogy, there was The Dysfunctional Family Trilogy. Mr. Smith (Fred) was the crossover character from Dysfunctional to Holy Cross.

In 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Family: Ashley purges, Matt runs away, Fred contemplates bankruptcy, Margot excels in Divinity School, Windsong gets in touch with her colon and somehow Mildred manages to keep the whole family together again. Witness the unbearable intimacy that is family! A must for anyone who's been anywhere near a 12 Step program!

Rob's solo plays: A Christmas Carol Roasting on an Open Fire, 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional You, 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Christmas, 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Musical, 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Family, Freshman Year Sucks! Sophomore Slump, Junior Blues and Senioritis, Sex Farce, Holy Cross Does Romeo and Juliet, Love is God, Anxiety the New Depression and Norman Normal Saves the World have played New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, San Diego, Houston, Tampa, Durham, Austin, Provincetown, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Dartmouth, Princeton and The Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland. Rob's stand-up comedy has been featured on VH1 Stand-up Spotlight with Rosie O'Donnell and Comedy Central's Out There in Hollywood.

"Laugh-out-loud, God-that's-me funny" Robert Faires, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
