Best Friends Stab You (In The Front)

press release: Written by Gina M. Gómez, directed by Molly Vanderlin

April 5 - 27, Thursdays-Saturday at 8 pm.

All Finn wanted was her nightly soda. Finn has routines and she likes her routines to be unremarkable. But when her roommate Kyle stumbles home with a gun and a sack of money, she gave Finn no choice but to be involved. Throw in Kyle’s injured boyfriend Kelley, a suspicious nursing kit and pipe bombs, and Finn’s house erupts in utter chaos. As the night progresses, hidden truths and ugly secrets emerge and we find Kyle, Kelley, and Finn at odds with one another, much to Finn’s dismay. What truly happened to Kelley? How is Kyle involved? And who truly is the monster of them all? And all Finn wanted was a soda!  

Broom Street Theater, founded in 1969, is proud to announce that in celebration of our Fiftieth anniversary season, we are declaring a year of jubilee. Admission to all shows will be free in 2019. 

Artistic Director Doug Reed said, "Broom Street has always been about breaking down barriers and making the theater accessible. Storytelling is humankind’s oldest art form and live theater belongs to everyone. In that spirit, we're getting rid of the gatekeeper. If there’s naught in your pockets but some lint and an old Jolly Rancher - come on in and see the show!"

It's been our joy and privilege to bring locally-grown original theater to Madison for the last 50 years, and we look forward to the next 50.

Reed did add a few caveats, "Should you choose to contribute, we’ll still pass a basket before every show, and we'll still make the tired old joke about going to church. We may sell a very few capitalist premium seats per show. Plus, there is a PayPal button on our website."

Broom Street Theater is a non-profit, member-controlled theater located in Madison, Wisconsin. BST volunteers and staff foster artistic freedom, growth, and expression through non-traditional experimental and/or original artistic forms.
