We're looking forward to hosting this event for Simon Says Give in January of 2018!

Do you have an awards show, event, or holiday party you're looking to book? Get in touch with us at http://bit.ly/29SiHBz today to reserve our versatile, state of the art event space!

It's Throwback Thursday, and today I'm throwing it back to last Sunday when I had the honor of joining Roshini Rajkumar and an awesome kid named Patrick (one of the Kid Advisory Board members from Simon Says Give) to talk on WCCO Radio about the upcoming Give Awards and the Kid Superheros we are looking for!

This event (hosted in January in our own Experimental Thinking Centre) is going to be incredible - you can find out more info about the event, nominate a Kid Superhero, or donate to Simon Says Give at http://bit.ly/2yaVfgB. Thank you again to Roshini and Patrick for a fun Sunday!

The Brave New Workshop would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Events and Entertainment Solutions Manager, Sean Barnard!

Sean first came to the The Brave New Workshop Comedy Theatre to attend a main stage show at just 12 years old (this is not advised). He then took classes at the The Brave New Workshop Student Union in his mid-20s and performed locally with the improv team The Velvet Elvises. Sean spent 25 years in the entertainment and events field and we are so excited to tap into Sean’s extensive experience making sure that his clients’ needs are met and exceeded.

Do you need a great Emcee for your corporate event? A custom show to juice up your next business event (either at the BNW or on location anywhere in the US)? A custom video to make sure your message is heard and remembered? Sean is the person who can help you look good and get the job done.

You can email Sean at [email protected] or give him a ring at 612-332-6620. Welcome aboard, Sean!

We had an amazing event this weekend with our own Minnesota Timberwolves and their awesome fan base.

We had so much fun during our headliners set coming up with some new seating options for Target Center and a theme song that includes the refs, and we hope you toasted your victory over Memphis with a "Wolfpack," the signature drink of the evening.
