GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
June 5—28 | Thursdays—Sundays
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! is a two-person show within a show—this comedically conceived, choreographed, scored, and written theatrical romp brings to life the (allegedly) improvised two-man version of best pals Bev and Doug’s magnum opus, GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!, as they dazzle an audience of potential producers and investors at the most outrageous, bombastic, and melodically catchy backers’ audition ever conceived on (or off) The Great White Way.
Karen Cassady and Travis Sharp of the Dad’s Garage ensemble bring Bev, Doug, and their disastrously beautiful musical creation to life onstage with the authentic, infectious, and spontaneous charm and charisma of our improv performances, but with all the pizazz, panache, and delusions of production value found only in modern spectacle theatre!
Messing + Lehr
July 1 | Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Improv legend Susan Messing and comedian/improviser John Lehr perform live at Dad’s Garage for one night only in this one-act laugh-tacular! This incredible show is a double doozy of improvised tour-de-force as Messing and Lehr let loose for an evening of long-form hilarity.
TJ and Dave
July 11 | Friday at 6 and 9 p.m.
Long-form improv comedy masters TJ Jagodowski (Stranger than Fiction, Get Hard) and David Pasquesi (Veep, At Home with Amy Sedaris) perform one night only at Dad’s Garage!
Hailed as “seasoned masters of long form improv” (The New York Times) serving up the best improv comedy ever witnessed live, TJ and Dave are living legends in their field. Don’t miss this limited engagement!
