The internationally acclaimed hometown heroes, the Rude Mechs, were early in their evolution when they walked the community outreach walk and founded the summer camp Grrl Action in 1999. The bold and beloved writing and performance program for teen girls to creatively express themselves and develop that expression into artistic presentation has evolved into Off Center Teens. Teens of all genders are now welcome to participate in the camp that is proudly feminist, comprised of uncensored created content, and focused on experimental theatre. The Rudes' walk has evolved, and Austin's youth are the winners.
