(Related: We're Moving! 5 Things Exciting About Our New Home)
Starting the weekend of May 4th and 5th, you can visit us in our new, spacious theater, located at 5 Basile st. Roslindale, in the heart of the very walkable Roslindale Village. We're surrounded by excellent restaurants and local businesses, alongside a thriving and supportive Main Street team. We hope you'll explore and see for yourself why this neighborhood was such an obvious and easy choice to make our new home.
Here's what else you need to know about...
The Rozzie Square Theater's Grand Opening Weekend:
1. ComedySportz will kick things off at 8 pm.
The first show of the evening will be ComedySportz, our long-running, well-loved signature show where two teams battle for laughs and points as they make up scenes, games, and songs on the spot. If you love TV’s Whose Line Is It Anyway? you'll love ComedySportz. A referee governs the action, calling fouls and keeping the match moving at an energetic pace. It’s perfect for dates, a night out on the town, or even quality time with friends and family.
- General Admission: $15
- Students/Military/Seniors: $12
- Group ticket deals for parties of 10+ call our reservation line: (617) 231-7006 or loyalfans@cszboston.com
