Departing Dad's Garage Artistic Director Kate Warner is absolutely thrilled that the last play she'll direct in her position is the world premiere of The B-Team, a comedy about an inept group of terrorists written by Weeds contributor, David Holstein. Opening on the Dad's Garage Mainstage Friday, March 13 at 8pm, Kate says, 'The B-Team is a great satire of the American dream that skewers all of our modern fears in a way that is shockingly funny. Just like Dad's Garage, this play is profoundly original, daring, and probably offensive. '
The season will start with the Kander and Ebb musical Cabaret and will include Shakespeare, Neil Simon and a new play by Sarah Ruhl, Dead Man's Cell Phone.
