Paint the Town is the tale of an inspired revolutionary, the perfect family who loves her, and the man who slaughters that family in a wave of brutal terrorist strikes to set her free. It is a call to action for the super radical core of the creative class.

The above video was created by Jason Hames and features music by Peter J Woods.

The play was written by Rex Winsome and directed by Tracy Doyle. It's initial production starred Kate Pluess, Rex Winsome and Jason Hames. The set was designed and built by Kurt Hartwig and decorated by Kate Pleuss and Rex Winsome. Other technical and stage assistance from Becky Tesch and Amy Turk.

Current productions star Kate, Rex and John Kuehne, and are of a newly workshopped script, directed by the cast with some assistance by Jonathan Schneider (formerly of Theatre X).

This show is now intermittently touring the country with musical support from Peter J Woods. Peter combines power electronics, noise, minimalism, industrial and hardcore.
