The Rude Mechanicals have had our attention since the Nineties, and for good reason: They're creative, spunky, and always original. Grrl Action is a nonprofit offshoot of the Rude Mechs that now has its own workshop space (called, naturally, the Off Shoot). Grrl Action brings together girls age 13-16 from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to stage their own original work, with coaching from the Rude Mechs. Giving teen girls the opportunity to step into Austin's brassiest performance workshop must be like the theft of fire from Mount Olympus.
