It’s soon that time when the doors of the newly built Unscrewed Theater at 3244 E. Speedway (east of Country Club, across from the Loft Theater) will be opening for their first shows.
Save the dates January 31 and February 1st for their first comedy shows at this location (parking in the rear), for only $5 per show, at 7:30 p.m. both nights.
They will also have adults only shows at 10 p.m. on both nights (uncensored, so leave the kids at home). Same price.
This theater is home of the Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed (NBOJU) improv comedy troupe, which has been performing all over Tucson at 4 different locations for over 10 years. My previous post (with photos) about their successful fundraiser at the Loft in November (click here).
On Friday night I was invited to a preview show/soft opening during which the half the troupe members practiced their “games” for the upcoming grand opening. One particularly funny scene was when a woman and 3 men acted out a Dating Game TV show (for unlikely prospects). They were as hilarious as ever, so save the dates for this weekend and your $5 bills, and show up to support this lively, comedic group in their quest to bring laughter to audiences in Tucson. You can also help by becoming a member, or purchasing a name plate (for $100) for one of the chairs in the theater. 41 name plates have been sold to date, out of 96 chairs in total.

You can drop by the Unscrewed Theater on Thursday or Friday, 12 to 5 p.m. when Michael Pierce will be there to sell tickets to all four weekend shows. Best to park in the back parking lot, entrance from Walgreen’s which is along Anderson Blvd.,just off Speedway.
