MAKING GOD LAUGH
by Sean Grannan

Weekends April 16 – May 2, 2027

This play by Sean Grennan follows one American family over 30 years of holiday gatherings, from 1980 to the present.

By turns heartfelt and humorous, this intimate comedy celebrates the enduring bonds of family and the surprises that shape our lives.

THE COLORED MUSEUM
by George C. Wolfe

Weekends June 11–27, 2027
Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2:30pm

Written by George C. Wolfe, this bold theatrical “museum tour” guides audiences through 11 vivid exhibits-each a monologue or sketch performed by a dynamic ensemble cast. Blending satire, surrealism, music, and poetry, the play confronts the legacy of slavery, media stereotypes, Black hair politics, and the struggle for self-definition in America. By turns sharp, hilarious, and deeply moving, it explores the madness and brilliance of Black life-honoring resilience while demanding space for its full complexity.

Good Talk : A Momma’s Boy From God’s Country, Portsmouth

Good Talk Returns.

Bradford “Braddy Paddy” McMurran returns to the stage with Good Talk: A Momma’s Boy from God’s Country, Portsmouth. A raw, hilarious, and deeply personal (will be universal for all to understand) one-man show about growing up in the strange poetry of Portsmouth, loving your mother too much to ever fully grow up, and trying to laugh while your heart is breaking.

Through sketch comedy, improvisation, storytelling, and slightly a skewed Southern observations, Brad McMurran, co-creator of Push Comedy Theater and head writer of the off-Broadway hit show Cuff Me; the 50 Shades of Gray Musical Parody, brings audiences into the life he shared with his larger-than-life mother: a woman who could embarrass you, save you, teach you, zing you, and make you laugh harder than anyone alive… often in the same conversation.

Less than a month after losing his mother, McMurran stands alone onstage trying to make sense of grief, memory, mystery, guilt, absurdity, and the terrifying silence left behind when the person who knew you first is suddenly gone. The show is not a funeral… it’s a celebration, a confession, a love letter, and a comedy show mixed all into one.

Funny, painful, reckless, warm, and unmistakably Southern, Good Talk: A Momma’s Boy from God’s Country, Portsmouth, is for anyone who has ever loved their family enough to survive them and for a very candid look into a comedians attempt to deal with the loss of his life.

The Unusual Suspects: A Wild Murder Mystery

A Murder Mystery in Norfolk like no other!

Everyone in the room is a suspect in this wild murder mystery in Norfolk… EVEN YOU! The Unusual Suspects is a completely made-up murder mystery. Detective Brad McMurran walks you through the suspects… all pulled from the audience. No matter what twists the suspects throw at our great detective, he’s following the fun right to the very end. Watch in amazement as Brad pieces the puzzle back together, and leaves everyone doubled over with laughter. The show is completely improvised, so who knows what will happen next?

Each month, Brad plays a different detective inspired by the great sleuths of fiction. If you love mysteries, whodunnits, and good plot loop-hole, The Unusual Suspects is for you. Can you solve the murder before our crack investigator?

The Unusual Suspects is the brainchild of Brad McMurran (co-writer of Cuff Me: The 50 Shades of Grey Musical Parody, and co-owner of The Push Comedy Theater). The show regularly sells out at the Push Comedy Theater. It has been performed at parties, festivals, and corporate events. It was performed monthly at the South Point Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
