Back by popular demand, "Remembering James", starring Longview, TX's own Dedrick Weathersby and East Palo Alto's native Will Roc, tells the story of The Godfather of Soul, James Brown. Spanning nearly two decades of his monumental career, you’ll see how a divided country, the growing Civil Rights movement and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. shaped the artist’s work. A eight-piece band accompanies the show, bringing the passion of his music alive while offering a message of hope to a grief-stricken nation looking for a moment of healing and celebration. Some songs include: “Prisoner of Love,” “Please Please,” “Try Me,” “Caldonia,” “Outta Sight”, “I Got The Feeling,” “Papa Got a Brand New Bag,” “Cold Sweat,” “I Feel Good,” “This a Man’s World,” “Doin It To Death,” “Say It Loud I’m Black and I’m Proud.” [less-]

Improv is comedy without a net, where daredevil performers depend not only on the audience for suggestions, but also on their fellow performers for support and Lady Luck for inspiration. Done right, it's not just hilarious -- it's astonishing. The American Improv Theatre (AIT) Players do it right. Come laugh and marvel as the Players spin entire scenes from suggestions. The show begins with some silly, quick-moving improv games (Think "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"). Then the Players raise the stakes with longer, more connected scenes so good they seem scripted. But they're not: Everything that happens at Black Cat Licorice Theater is discovered in the moment. [less-]

Greg Warren, most recently seen on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", "The Late Late Show" and "Comedy Central Presents", has built a strong fan base with an act inspired by his Midwestern upbringing. His CDs, "Running Out of Time" (Sept 2013) and "One Star Wonder" (June 2009) hit #3 and #6 respectively in iTunes Top Comedy Albums. An honest mix of self-deprecation, frustration and an arsenal of lifelike characters highlight Greg’s colorful perspective. Greg attracts a diverse audience spectrum, having performed as a finalist on BET’s Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television. He is a favorite on the nationally syndicated "Bob & Tom Radio Show", which led to touring theaters nationwide with The Bob & Tom All Stars Comedy Tour. During college, Greg won a comedy contest and was invited to perform at Déjà Vu, a local club in Columbia, MO. After a stint selling Jif and Pringles for Procter & Gamble, Greg made the decision to become a full-time comedian. This bold move led to an invitation to Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2002, where Greg performed as one of the featured New Faces of Comedy. He has also been seen on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and NBC’s "Last Comic Standing". Greg’s background resulted in a gig doing college wrestling color commentary for Fox Sports Midwest. He is heard daily on Sirius/XM Comedy and headlines comedy clubs across the country. He appeared in the independent films "23 Minutes to Sunrise" and "Marshall The Miracle Dog". He is a founding member of the St. Louis Sketch Week Players whose sketches can be heard on Sirius/XM and Pandora. [less-]

Listen up, you primitive screw-heads! Prepare yourself for the only musical that features a chainsaw, a song called "Ode To An Accidental Stabbing," and a front-row "splatter zone" where you'll get covered in spraying blood faster than you can say "klaatu barada necktie." "Evil Dead: The Musical" is funny. It's gory. And yeah -- it's groovy. [less-]

Chicago! A city of jazz and gangsters, prohibition and poverty. Amongst the murk of the Great Depression, there’s room for a small time crook like Arturo Ui to make a name for himself. Ui and his henchmen just want to look after you, to offer protection for workers, for jobs, for businesses. Nothing to fear. But a little bribery here, some harmless corruption there, and soon something much more dangerous takes hold. Brecht’s satirical masterpiece about the rise of a demagogue in a new adaptation by Pulitzer, Olivier and Tony Award-winning American playwright, Bruce Norris. [less-]

Mark Normand is a fun-loving New York comedian. Ok, I’m gonna brag a little here but hey, you’re on the site so that must mean you’re somewhat interested. I don’t know, I’ve just seen other comics do this. Ah screw you, I’m proud of these credits! Sorry, I got worked up there. (I just wanna be liked) So far, Mark has done a One-Hour Comedy Central special "Don’t Be Yourself", a Comedy Central half-hour special, has appeared on TBS’s "Conan" six times, "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Show with Stephen Colbert", Showtime’s "Live at SXSW", "Inside Amy Schumer", TruTv, "Best Week Ever", MTv, Last Comic Standing, @Midnight and released an album with Comedy Central records titled "Still Got It" (it’s not bad). This year, Mark took first place at the Great American Comedy Festival competition. In 2013 he won Caroline’s March Madness competition, beating out 63 other comedians. And this is a real shocker for all of us, but he was also voted "Village Voice"’s “Best Comedian of 2013.” I know, right? In 2012, Mark appeared on "John Oliver’s New York Standup Show" on Comedy Central, and in 2011 was picked as one of Comedy Central’s “Comics to Watch.” More annoying accolades that no one really cares about: Mark was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics To Watch for the 2011 New York Comedy Festival. Mark was also named "Esquire’s" “Best New Comedians 2012”, Splitsider’s “Top 10 Up and Coming Comedians on Each Coast,” and Time Out New York’s “21 New York Comedy Scene Linchpins.” Whew, sorry about all that.
