Mo’Funeral - Improvised Murder Mystery

Friday, May 3rd at 7 PM
Mo'Funeral is an improvised murder mystery with a cast of characters that are all suspects. All are present at the victim's funeral, which starts the show. Then follow along as we jump back in time to play out the 7 days before the dastardly deed. In this mystery, not even the murderer and victim are decided before the show begins. The audience helps set the scene and then can try to figure out whodunnit before the end!

The Day I Became Black - A Biracial Comedy in America

Tuesday, May 7th at 8 PM
Special One-Night-Only Engagement of this Current Off-Broadway Show! Bi-racial comedian Bill Posley (Survivor, MacGyver) grew up happily identifying as both black and white. But at age 10, he learned the world does, in fact, judge a book by its color and, even though he’s half white, he’s labeled 100% black. Does a young comedian have to get rid of his whiteness in order to be the color he’s “supposed” to be? Hear Posley weigh in on the modern-day conversation about race from a unique perspective.

The Cocktail Hour with Mac Diamond

Saturday, May 11th at 9 PM
Fresh from his sold-out show, “One Long Night at the Copa,” he is out-of-touch and out-of-time and hosting his very own talk show at the Sea Tea Comedy Theater! Paying homage to classic variety shows like The Dean Martin Show, legendary host and smooth-talker, Mac Diamond, presents a whole night of music, guest stars, and laughter.

Asking for a Friend with Chion Wolf

Saturday, May 18th at 7 PM
This is a live advice* show where people come together to discuss all sorts of problems, tell stories, and explore philosophical conundrums. Write down your problem, put it in the big red box, and host Chion Wolf (WNPR, The Mouth-Off at The Mark Twain House & Museum, the Hartford Hot Several, Night Fall) will help you figure it all out with her panel of unqualified yet enthusiastic, thoughtful humans.
*Disclaimer: This is not professional advice, and profanity is likely.
