Brave New Workshop Tickets

Brave New Workshop (BNW) is Minnesota’s landmark satire theatre, founded in 1958 by Dudley Riggs. Claiming the title of the oldest ongoing satirical theatre in the United States, BNW has produced over 400 original productions and welcomed more than 3 million attendees. Based in Minneapolis, BNW is renowned for sharp sketch comedy, improvisation, and pointed political and social satire. The company operates primarily from the Dudley Riggs Theatre at 824 Hennepin Avenue, with additional programming at the Experimental Thinking Centre (ETC) for special and off-main-stage events. BNW also runs a training program through the BNW Student Union, helping cultivate the next generation of improvisers and satirists.

Upcoming shows and events at BNW venues in Minneapolis include a festive holiday production, The Chaos of the Bells, with previews and performances scheduled at the Dudley Riggs Theatre. The Turkeys perform at the ETC, and notable performers have headlined BNW engagements at the ETC. As a resident theatre in partnership with Hennepin Theatre Trust, BNW continues to bring nationally recognized satirical performance to the Twin Cities, with alumni including Lizz Winstead, Al Franken, Louie Anderson, Mo Collins, and Cedric Yarbrough, among others.
