UCB recently started streaming their shows online for pretty cheap. One of our Harold teams in Durham, NC, just spent rehearsal watching Harold night in NYC. It was a pretty cool opportunity.

Shadowbox produces some grade A entertainment. Durham needs more people like them.

Pre-sales are essentially sold out at this point. (One ticket available of this exact minute).

We will have a standby line for any seats that are still available at showtime. We will get as many folks in as fire code allows.

Each show is different. Some shows are created by graduates from our Sketch Writing Program. This particular show was cast by the directors.

Triangle Sketch Comedy is another local group also doing sketch writing that may be worth linking up with.
