Speaking of familiar faces, there's none quite so familiar as this one right here. There are exactly two people who have been directly involved in all three parts of The Nine to date, and one of them is Mr. Austin Oie. Some of you saw Austin as Tim in
subUrbia and some of you saw him as the other half of our phonograph pairing in
The Eiffel Tower Wedding Party and some of you saw both and maybe even some of you didn't see either, but no matter the case, you're all (providin' you got your tickets) about to see him as Arthur, Adamov's idea man, pinball fan and general obsessive at the center of
Ping-Pong. Side note: Austin ages about 50 years over the course of this show. We're talking range like a prairie on this guy! (Did that make sense? That didn't make sense, did it. Ah, we all know I'm just riffing here. Anyway.... heeere's AUSTIN!)
Austin is working with The Nine for the 3rd time and is finally starting
to feel at home. You may have seen him in other productions:
Church/Pullman and Elephants Graveyard (Red Tape Theatre), The Man Who
Was Thursday (New Leaf Theatre), A Winters Tale (State Theatre), or The
Last Night of Ballyhoo (Project 891). When he's not acting, he's playing
banjo/mandolin in his band The New Switcheroo. He's also a headshot
photographer... what more do you people want?!
