GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
June 5—28
Previews: June 3 and 4
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 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.
The Tight Acquaintances: The Podcast: The Show!
June 5 | Friday at 10 PM
Are you ready for a new live Dungeons & Dragons podcast experience? Dad’s Garage is expanding The Tight Acquaintances in a new direction as we take nerd theatre back to basics with The Tight Acquaintances: The Podcast: The Show! Make the acquaintance of a new party of Tight Acquaintances and fall in love with their antics on a brand new fantasy adventure.
This time, we’re actually rolling dice and fighting over rules minutiae live onstage as our intrepid improvisers, lead by Dungeon Master Rueben Medina, play a self-contained oneshot game of Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e for your entertainment—and then, we’re recording it for the folks at home to enjoy.
