The Kingdom Kids are back at the Hub!!
Natalie Miller, Nathan Hartswick, and Brian De La Bruere grew up in Northeast Vermont and have performed together for over a decade. Natalie and Nathan also co-own the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.
Their joyful, fast-paced show uses stories from willing audience volunteers as fuel for spontaneous, wildly funny improv. No one is put on the spot unless they want to be.
Smart, sarcastic, and wonderfully silly, this homegrown trio delivers an unpredictable show you won’t want to miss.
This show has SOLD OUT in the past! Don’t miss out, get your tickets today at the link in our bio!

BLACKOUT: HOW I BECAME WHITE IN AMERICA

A solo performance reflecting one white woman’s process of facing her direct links to slavery. A somatic, musical, and theatrical exploration of denial, guilt & response. This performance directly addresses “white America“. All are welcome. The 90 min show is followed by (optional) facilitated community processing and conversation.

Coming up this weekend at the Hub! The second iteration of our student-directed one act showcase: A Marriage Proposal, directed by Hattie Mitchell & Heath Colbert Laurie.
A Marriage Proposal was written in 1889 by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, and was first performed in 1890. This 45 minute one-act play sees two neighbors through a clumsy interaction where a nervous bachelor, Ivan Vassilevitch, seeks out Stepan Chubukov, in order to ask for his daughter, Natalya Stepanovna’s hand in marriage. This leads to a series of trivial yet animated exchanges between the three until a resolution is reached… (sort of).
