Join us for the first stop on the new StageCrafts Freeway Circuit as we bring three hit Hollywood Fringe shows to The Promenade Playhouse from March 1st-2nd!

A glowing golden 20-sided die (d20) floats at the center of a dark, mystical landscape. The die emits a warm, radiant light, contrasting with the eerie purple sky. Two barren, twisted trees reach toward it from either side, adding to the scene’s ominous yet magical atmosphere. In the background, two faded full moons loom, enhancing the fantasy aesthetic.

In 1974, Dungeons & Dragons took the world by storm, inspiring thousands of young nerds to seek adventure on their tabletops. The game’s inventor, Gary Gygax (1938-2008), plays a final session with Death in the ultimate rolls for his soul.

Meanwhile, in the same woods, a tiny bat and a lonely beast find their voices together. Get Tickets >>

 

 

A man in a vintage-style baseball jersey, featuring blue pinstripes and the number "9," stands in a baseball field holding a wooden bat over his shoulder. He faces slightly to the side, showing a focused expression as he prepares for the game. In the background, a baseball field fence is visible, with a partially visible red, white, and blue flag fluttering in the breeze. The image captures a nostalgic and energetic baseball vibe.

A man dressed in a green dinosaur costume with a hood featuring teeth and eyes is captured in an intense moment. His facial expression is animated, with wide eyes and an open mouth, and he is pointing directly at the camera, creating a sense of urgency or engagement. The dimly lit background suggests a theatrical or performance setting, enhancing the dramatic atmosphere of the image.

Kosher Salt written and performed by Abel Horwitz

If Alex Edelman and JOJO RABBIT had a nice Jewish baby.

Told with both humor and gravitas, KOSHER SALT is a journey through Jewish comedy and Jewish tragedy. A clown show, a personal memoir, and a rollicking trip through some real tough shit. Abel Horwitz is going to solve antisemitism in 45 minutes. You’re welcome.

The Tunnel Rats feat. Brick Penguin

Saturday, March 8th @ 7pm and 9pm | 80 minutes | $25 General Admission
One Night, Two Performances

This is a special sketch show for the Tunnel Rats because we’ve invited legendary DC sketch group Brick Penguin to join us for their 15th anniversary. Current and former members of Brick Penguin (some of whom have joined the Tunnel Rats) will combine to get loud, raunchy, and wild. The Tunnel Rats is a high-octane sketch comedy collective formed in Los Angeles in 2019. They bring a raucous brand of sketch comedy to the stage that is often irreverent, occasionally intelligent, and always a little dark…or a lot. They regret nothing! The Tunnel Rats put on a show that’s loud, loose, and lightly coquettish. Get Tickets >>
