2 Tickets to Brave New Workshop

The Brave New Workshop has been performing original satirical sketch comedy and improvisation since 1958, longer than any other theatre in the United States.

The Brave New Workshop began after Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus aerialist Dudley Riggs survived a near-fatal fall from a trapeze. He decided, for obvious reasons, to move to a less risky career and started his own "Instant Theatre Company" with a cast assembled from the circus and vaudeville circuits.

They opened off-Broadway with a show consisting of vaudeville-style sketches, burlesque blackouts, and something completely new: the use of audience input in the creation of "instant theatre." That was the beginning of comedic improvisation, as it’s widely known today. After touring nationally, Dudley and his "Instant Theatre Company" found a permanent home in the Twin Cities in 1958, and the name, Brave New Workshop, was added in 1961 when they moved to their historical 2605 Hennepin location. In the more than 50 years since its founding, the Brave New Workshop has put on more than 250 original productions and exposed over 3 million people to the theatre's unapologetic and unwavering, brand of comedy and improvisation.

Enjoy two ADMIT ONE passes, valid at any Brave New Workshop production at the Minneapolis theatre. 

No expiration date!  Complete schedule of performances can be found at www.bravenewworkshop.com.

Restrictions: Not valid for Saturday 7 or 8 p.m. performances  and not valid Dec. 15-31st. Reserve seating.  Reservations recommended.  When calling mention "Admit One" passes.

Patrons MUST bring passes to the box office and EXCHANGE them for tickets.
