Puppy Prov!

Fridays @ 8 PM!

Dad’s Garage brings together puppies and people for an adorable and one-of-a-kind comedy show! Each night, a proud pup parent (or foster parent) shares heartwarming (and often hilarious) stories about their dog while our improvisers create scenes inspired by those tales. And to make things even cuter, the puppy gets in on the action!

Every performance features a different local shelter or rescue organization dedicated to helping our furry friends, and a portion of the ticket sales supports their work. It’s comedy, cuddles, and a cause—all in one unforgettable show!

Scandal!

Saturdays @ 8:30 PM

Family-owned Old Froth Ward, once the ultimate summer destination and a bastion of aquatic excess, is now on the brink of closure due to increased accidents, bad investments, failed rides, rumored water issues, and internal family drama. As the summer season begins, unsettling questions arise amongst the park and the public like floaters in a churning wave pool of uncertainty: What is the future of Old Froth Ward? Will a corporate giant convert the park into a luxury resort, or will the current ownership's grandiose ambitions revive it? Or will it become an abandoned relic washed away in the splashing stream of capitalism's water coaster? The park’s future hinges on the decisions made in the heat of this summer's primetime season when corporate greed, summer jobs, and family drama collide! 

All Stars!

May 16 @ 8 PM!

It’s a star-studded night of hilarity and improv comedy—our theatre is the dark canvas of the night sky, the Dad’s Garage ensemble are the stars, and you, dear patrons, are our universe! All Star Improv is a phenomenal showcase of our most skilled improvisers performing at their best to bring you an evening of hilarity you won’t have anywhere else, and with talent that can’t be cultivated anywhere else. 

This incredible show isn’t just a chance to laugh until you cry tears of joy, but a fundraiser for our beloved theatre and its many programs in support of transforming people, communities, and perspectives through laughter. Yes, the ticket prices are a little higher than usual, but all funds raised allow us to continue creating the best comedy in the southeast and support our nonprofit mission.

The Dad’s Garage Lobby opens one hour before the show for all patrons. If you purchased tickets ahead of time, skip the Box Office line and present your mobile tickets linked in your confirmation email to our ticket scanner. If you prefer, you may still pick up your ticket(s) at the Box Office.

Be sure to grab a drink at our Bar!

*All tickets have an additional $2 processing fee for online orders.
