There’s gonna be bloodlust AND teen angst?! Aww geez! Joining the Steiners in the crypt for an evening of improvised terror and hijinks is improvisor and host of "Show Me the Franchise" Fred Dakin! Featuring stand-up by AJ Grill and improv by Forecast!
Stein is an indie comedy show that combines the absurdity of the Goosebumps TV show with narrative improv. Audiences are taken on a campy and hilarious journey as the Steiners craft a supernatural tale from beginning to end, fit with twists and an unreliable narrator who may add in some mischief of their own! Tickets are $10 at the door. 🧛 🖤 ✨

If you've enjoyed my plays "Whirligig of Time" and "Here Come the Jesters" or you're an artistic director looking to spotlight a local playwright, mark your calendars! Maya Danks is directing a staged reading of my new play "The Memory Leak" at The Brick House in August.

"The Memory Leak" is a sci-fi play where David, a talented computer programmer, is haunted by the loss of his most precious memories. Consumed by his obsession to restore them, his sister Jenna and her fiancée Margot feel powerless to help. As they struggle to protect one another from the secrets of the past, a sudden worsening of David's condition forces Jenna and Margot into a race against time. They must create a device to salvage David's leaked memories before he loses himself completely.

"The Memory Leak" was a semi-finalist in the Eugene O'Neill national playwriting contest and finalist in the Wisconsin Wright's contest this year.

The staged reading will be pay what you wish with all ticket sales going to fundraise Bard & Bourbon's next show!
