So, how have you been staying sane during the past year of lockdown?
That’s the question The Magnetic Theatre asked one “quaranteam” of actors, and while it remains to be seen how much sanity they’ve maintained, the answer is, “Playing With Our Food!” Get ready for a weird, wild, hilarious feast of gustatory one-act plays selected, directed, and performed by Tabitha Judy, Strother Stingley, and Tippin.
Each taking turns at the directing trough, this “food group” of artists serves up a heaping helping of dark comedy, absurdity, and silliness in the course of four quirky short plays by playwrights from around the country. “Three Women and an Onion,” written by Ryan Bultrowicz, finds a Kafkaesque purgatory in an errant allium. Evan Baughfman’s “The Last Beans in the Box” explores the secret lives of young wizards’ least favorite sweets. Jackie Martin’s “Cookies for Bethany” warns of the dangers of taking things that aren’t yours. And “37 Scenes, and a Watermelon,” by Ian Downes, asks the question, “Do they always cry so much?”
So, order some dinner, get comfy with your TV tray, and tuck in to this smorgasbord of tasty theatrical tidbits, delivered via live-stream direct to your living room!

Winners of 15 international prizes, including the Cirque Du Soleil Trophy at Paris’ prestigious Festival Mondial De Cirque Du Demain, Compagnia Baccalá’s Pss Pss brings enthralling acrobatic feats together with inventive, delightful and often ridiculous visual storytelling that keeps you laughing long after leaving the theatre. Inspired by Chaplin, Keaton and the stars of silent films, modern-day clowns Camilla Pessi and Simone Fassari ran away from one circus to start a circus of their own — and, in doing so, they created a world that is timeless and tender, hilarious and ingenious and beloved around the world.

Critics, fans, and fellow comedians all agree – Brian Regan is one of the most respected comedians in the country. Regarded as “the funniest stand-up alive” by Vanity Fair and called “Your favorite comedian’s favorite comedian” by Entertainment Weekly, Regan has built a 30-plus year career on the strength of his material. His multi-dimensional talent of stand-up comedy, acting and television producing has culminated in a non-stop theater tour visiting close to 100 cities each year, and now Greenville!
Regan premiered his seventh hour-long comedy release in 2017, a Netflix special titled “Brian Regan: Nunchucks and Flamethrowers,” alongside Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld. The following year, he starred in his own Netflix series, “Standup and Away! with Brian Regan,” combining sketch and stand-up comedy. Most recently, you can catch him in his highly anticipated Netflix special, “Brian Regan: On the Rocks,” released February 23, 2021. He appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman 28 times and can also be found as a regular guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
On stage, Brian took his act international in 2019 with a London debut at The Leicester Square Theatre, and shortly after made his Kennedy Center debut with two sold-out shows. Regan appeared at Carnegie Hall in 2017, following years of performances in New York City’s finest theaters, including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, The Beacon Theater, and Radio City Music Hall.
