UCBeast opens tonight on Avenue A

From the EV Grieve inbox... This is from a reader who found it somewhere... I didn't see anything about the opening at the UCB website as of 4:15 p.m.


It gives me great joy to be able to announce that UCB’s long awaited East Village venue — UCBeast — will be open as of tonight at 7:30 pm. A new website will be forthcoming in the near future.

Please come check out the new space (155 E. 3rd Street and Avenue A). There is an attached bar (The Hot Chicks Room), where we’ll be serving soft drinks to start out and beer and wine soon.
The theatre itself is a beautiful 124 seat space, totally refurbished with brand new seats and fixtures, that will make for some great live comedy, despite the notable absence of multiple columns blocking significant portions of the stage.

Stop on by and buy a ticket at the door! Or use your improv Student ID for free entry to shows marked with an *

    I say it UC Beast, and I say it's a great addition to the neighborhood. The drinks are not the thing, the improv's the thing. The more live music, live theatre, live artsy-fartsy stuff along the Avenue, the better. Maybe this'll be like Amy Poehler's Wah-Wah Hut?

    Nothing worse than a bunch of unfunny rich kids that think they're funny. Go jack off somewhere else.
