News and updates for The Brody Theater

Micetro and Standup Friday

Our wild and wooly (actually a wool-cotton blend) elimination-style improv tournament continues Friday at 8pm. You are the judges and only one champion will prevail. Followed by Fly-Ass jokes with a huge lineup of standup talent at 10pm. (free open mic after the standup show).

Antiques Improv show Finale!

One more chance to see the stories behind your own antiques and valued oddities! Bring them in and we might choose your item to use in the show. “Experts” appraise the items and the cast creates the stories behind the objects.  Catch a Brody favorite while you can! 8pm Saturday 1/21.

Give the gift of Improv!

Improv shows and classes are great gifts!  You can get gift certificates in any amount, or give an improv class (a one-night workshop or a full 7-week class), or our standup comedy class.  Contact us so we can tailor your gift for your loved one.
