Did you know?

No home stage since 2004, and honestly, we like it that way. Here are the 11 venues that have let us in so far this year, and why you should visit them even when we're not there.

We did it again!!

Bent Theatre was voted Best Performance Troupe in C-Ville Weekly's Best of C-Ville poll for the second consecutive year, and it means more than we can say.

Four shows. September. That's it

September's a busy one. Four shows in four different towns, and every single one is built entirely from what you give us onstage — no scripts, no plan, no idea what's coming until it's already happening.

Peak Peach Season. Peak Improv Season. Coincidence? Probably.

July is peak peach season in Virginia. The peaches are good, the evenings are warm, and Bent Theatre has three shows this month — Charlottesville, Gordonsville, and Waynesboro. No scripts. No two shows alike.
