The Game
Dec 5 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

Alyssa and Homer are feeling disconnected in their marriage. Trying to start a family, Alyssa is hyper-focused on work while Homer has recently been laid off and thrown himself into an online video game. Not knowing how to navigate this new normal Alyssa does what she’s least comfortable with: start a support group for other women in the same situation. These strangers band together to devise a plan to get their partners back as they realize together, and only together, can they end this war.

A new comedy from Bekah Brunstetter, writer of THE CAKE, the digital short HOPE from LONG STORY SHORT, and nominated for a Tony Award for her book for THE NOTEBOOK musical on Broadway.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW: 

Bekah writes comedies that make you laugh and also have a surprising amount of depth and characterization. This is a lovely multi-generational ensemble comedy with just enough surprises and belly laughs to keep you on your toes.

You don’t need to know it’s based on Lysistrata, but it is. (That one is for the nerds!) But, seriously, it helps that it has a little bit of the “the more things change the more things stay the same” to it, while updating it for the modern age and wrapping it up a lovely character study about platonic and romantic contemporary relationships.

WHO SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW?  If you enjoyed THE CAKE, ODD, or a really good network sitcom like “Abbott Elementary” that is funny and zany but also has heart.

Madrigal Feaste – Presented by Wade Hampton High School Performing Arts

Wade Hampton High School Choral Department presents:

It will be a very “punny” evening and will surely put you in the holiday spirit!

Napoleon Dynamite Live Tour
Dec 6 @ 7:30 pm
Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium

An Event to Remember: BYOT (Bring Your Own Tots)

The beloved indie classic “Napoleon Dynamite” was made almost 20 years ago. Since then, much has changed; but the characters, as enduring as they are endearing, stay in our hearts. Appealing to the inner teenager in each of us, the story, and more importantly the dialogue, makes “Napoleon Dynamite” one of the most quoted movies of our time. 

Napoleon Dynamite makes us laugh – and laugh hard – over and over again. This unique evening includes a full screening of “Napoleon Dynamite” followed by a lively, freewheeling, interactive experience with fan-favorite cast members; Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Efren Ramirez (Pedro) and Jon Gries (Uncle Rico).
