Horse Trade Theater Presents BEACHES 2’S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW!

Beaches 2 is a sketch comedy group, and they have a monthly comedy show! This month marks one whole year of complete chaos, filth, depravity, tears, and possible jail time. In celebration of this extremely important historical landmark, they will engage in a glory hole of anniversary and holiday themed sketches. The comedy show, presented by Horse Trade Theater Group and Beaches 2, will play at Under St Marks Theater (94 St. Marks Place between 1st and A) Wednesday, November 30th @ 9pm. Tickets ($5) are available at the door. The theater serves beer and wine!

Every last Wednesday of the month, Beaches 2 will bring you a brand new hour-long sketch comedy show! Each month they choose a theme and write thousands of jokes on that topic. Past topics include the future, John Travolta, pageants, after-school specials, and bad mommies. Beaches 2: sketch comedy for best friends.
