Top Secret signage alert on Avenue A

The Top Secret signage is up at 44 Avenue A. 

As previously reported, the UK-based comedy and improv club is opening a venue here between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

Community Board 3 signed off on a liquor license for the former Upright Citizens Brigade Theater's UCBeast space last month.

Owner Mark Rothman, who started the business 13 years ago, talked with EVG's Stacie Joy about what to expect. You can find that post here.

Rothman said that he'd like to be open later this fall.

Upright Citizens Brigade Theater operated UCBeast here from September 2011 to February 2019. At the time, UCB officials blamed the "extreme costs" of operating here for its closing. Upright Citizens Brigade opened in a new space on 14th Street last fall.
