"A smashing success!" – That's how The New York Times described Gutenberg! The Musical while the Associated Press hailed it as "Hysterically funny! Writers Anthony King and Scott Brown produced an uproarious script."

A two-man spoof of passionate musical theatre writers, Gutenberg! The Musical! casts Christopher Fitzgerald and Jeremy Shamos as two desperate and bravely untalented songwriters performing a backers' audition for their new musical about the inventor of the printing press. Gutenberg! The Musical was nominated for the 2007 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical and the 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical; and its authors were nominated for the 2007 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical. The show was co-produced by the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

"When pop comes to lock,
When you're breakin' on the make,
Sometimes you got to take a chance and dance." - Honey Hooves Jones

More sex than Flashdance. More drama than Footloose. More danger than The Lambada. More dance fighting than You Got Served. More pretentiousness than Save the Last Dance...

Welcome to the streets where dancing is the dream of every street kid. Freak Dance is the story of how dancers from different worlds come together to save Fantaseez Dance Center from the long arm of the city building inspector, the evil rival dance studio, and power of the Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo.

Freak Dance is a straight up, activated and in your face musical theater extravaganza.

Written by Matt Besser (Upright Citizens Brigade, Crossballs)
Music by Brian Fountain (Killgore: The Musical) & Jake Anthony (Oh God, We're Going to Die!)

In 1968, filmmaker Bob Levis led a rag-tag band of dreamers, drop outs and drug-happy darlings into the wilderness to make a movie and emerged a month later with 'Gold'", a bizarre and beautiful journey into the mind and madness of the late 1960s - one overflowing with fantasies of revolution, recreation and raunchy free love.

At once a western, a comedy, a 'nudie', a drama and a musical - 'Gold' is a profound potpourri made in the spirit of shaking down square society, while systematically shattering every movie rule in the process. But then the film vanished, lost like the generation from which it came, until now...

Everything you see on stage at the UCB Theater and everything you learn in UCB classes can be traced back to the teachings of Del Close. Without the foundations laid by the ideas put forth in Truth in Comedy, the UCB Theater as we know it would not exist. If you are interested in what we do here, and especially if you are learning in our system, you should know this book backwards and forwards. It makes concrete many of the abstract concepts dealt with in our class system and evident in our shows.

Art by Committee is a must read if you are seeking to improve your longform improv skills. Charna Halpern has picked up where she left off in Truth in Comedy, and continues to expand on the ideas that make up the building blocks of all longform, the UCB Theater included. The book deals with many of the core concepts the UCB theater adheres to. The included DVD is a valuable learning tool that offers looks at different longform styles and communities across the country, including a peformance by the UCB themselves.

This book is perfect for people who are funny and for those who aren't funny — thus it is marketable to 100% of the population. As we all know, true creativity comes from simple formulas and the memorization of data. This new bible makes the secrets of comedy accessible, not only to those funny few among us, but also to those who might not have the ability or talent to be funny. One no longer need worry about originality - just find the right comedy number and apply as needed... and then you're on your way to POPULARITYVILLE! Comedy By The Numbers is a NEARLY comprehensive list of all comedy characters, bits, scenarios, sketches, skits, shtick, and much more. (We say "nearly" because we want to leave room for Volume 2.) Includes special hints, tips, and unboring comedy history. Comedy By The Numbers is the brainchild of Prof. Eric Hoffman (Mr. Show) & Dr. Gary Rudoren (Annoyance Theatre) - AND features loads of comedy fun facts that you can memorize and use to impress people at parties!

Peter Gwinn's 'Group Improvisation' explores the idea of group mind and gives readers specific exercises they can use to establish, explore, and strengthen their own group's sense of group mind. Any improviser looking for fresh things to work on with your group should buy this book. Gwinn has improvised his way all over the country - from Chicago's IO house team Baby Wants Candy to New York in shows such as The Stepfathers, Chicago Style, and Asssscat, all at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater.
