Paul Blart 3: Blart Of Darkness

Friday, Nov 03 - Sunday, Nov 19
8pm, 2pm on Nov 12 & 19
Thursday - Saturday + 2 Sunday matinees

Paul Blart 3: Blart of Darkness is a post-apocalyptic tale that takes place ten years after the collapse of society. All that remains of humanity is a scattering of isolated villages. From the ashes, one brave woman tries to restart civilization by building a place where people can once again come together: a shopping mall. But the warlords who thrive in chaos want to destroy this new mall before it can even open. To save the mall, to save humanity itself, she will need to find and recruit the greatest mall cop the world has ever known.

Online tickets are available here. At every performance, we reserve a block of Pay What You Can tickets for our walk-up audience. Even if EventBrite says we're sold out, we're not sold out. If you're in line early enough, you'll get a seat!

THIS SHOW HAS BEEN POPULAR BEYOND OUR FONDEST HOPES. LINES FOR WALK-UP SEATS HAVE BEEN FORMING UP TO AN HOUR BEFORE CURTAIN TIME. BE FOREWARNED.

Our Home States

Friday, Jul 21 - Saturday, Aug 12
8:00pm
Thursday - Saturday (NO SHOW August 3!)

There are all sorts of states. States of matter, states of being. And here in this country, we’ve got 50 supposedly united states.

Funny how those boundaries can create states of mind.

Cross a river. Cross a highway. Go over an imaginary, arbitrary line.

Suddenly, you’re in a different world. Different laws. That crime you just committed on the other side of the line can’t be prosecuted here. That vice you couldn’t indulge over there is a virtue over here.

Lie down in the desert, and each limb can be in a different jurisdiction.

We’re embarking on a four-year short play project to try and make sense of states.

Every summer, for the next four years, we’re going to run a short play festival based on the states.

We asked writers from all over the country to submit short plays that tell us something about where they’re from. This summer, we’re doing 12 states from right here in the Midwest.

Online tickets are available at Eventbrite. WE ALWAYS RESERVE SEATS FOR WALK UP CUSTOMERS. Even if Eventbrite says we're sold out - we still have a seat for you. Just walk on up to the theater and snag yourself a Pay-What-You-Can seat.

An Evening Of The Absurd

Friday, Jun 02 - Saturday, Jun 24
8PM
Thursday - Saturday

An Evening of the Absurd (or The Adventures of an Electric Kaleidoscopic Crocodile Named Philip in the World of Funkadelic Wonderment) is a collection of four vignettes that explore ego, expressionism, and the age-old question of "what is theater?" The fourth wall will be broken at times and the audience will be challenged. The actors will play many roles and use their instruments to the fullest as they transition from audience to actor, from scenery to stagehand, from settler to robotic doctor. Expect nothing and everything as you settle back to enjoy (or don't) An Evening of the Absurd.

Tickets are available on our EventBrite page.

Please note: THIS EVENT IS NOT SOLD OUT!

At Broom Street Theater, we always reserve a significant block of seats for our walk-up audience - and those walk-up tickets are always Pay-What-You-Can. Even if EventBrite says the tickets are sold out, you can still come see the show. Simply arrive at the theater early (we recommend about 45 minutes) and we will be happy to sell you walk-up tickets.
