Improv Comedy Night
January 11th at 7 PM and 9 PM
January 12th and Friday, January 25th at 9 PM
The perfect cure for any post-holiday slump is improv comedy! House improv teams composed of skilled comedic actors will create different shows every night using audience suggestions as their inspiration. No scripts, no props, no kidding.

Family Shows - All Ages Comedy
January 13th, 20th and 27th at 4 PM
There’s nothing quite like shared laughter to bring people closer together. Take your family and friends to an all-ages comedy show where all audience members can shout out suggestions--or even volunteer to play some improv games with the performers on stage! Both kids and adults will have a lot to laugh about.

Dark Matter - Part Stand Up, Part Science
January 12th at 7 PM
Dark Matter is a show for anyone who has ever looked at the universe and wondered, “how can I make this about me?” Part stand-up, part science, Matthew Starr (writer on MTV, performer at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater) brings the audience along with him as he tries to understand his past relationships and also, the universe. Whether you have a Ph.D. in Astrophysics or you have never looked in a telescope, Dark Matter is for everyone in the universe who has ever been in a relationship.

Tales of Travel
January 19th at 9 PM
Have you ever left your house? Brave! We'd count that as an adventure. At Sea Tea we love great adventure stories, so we made a show for audience volunteers to tell their true travel stories. Our skilled improvisers will use those tales of travel to inspire improvised comedy. Have a travel story? A hotel horror? A camping conundrum? A staycation gone asunder? Come tell us! If not, just come watch. The journey might become a tale worth telling.
