Dad's Garage Theatre Kicks Off Last Events at 280 Elizabeth Street Today

If you haven't heard, Dad's Garage is moving! The property its building sits on at 280 Elizabeth Street has been purchased and is being redeveloped into a mixed-use space (which might include a few fro-yo joints if you're lucky). But don't worry, Dad's Garage is not closing -- the team will be performing at a temporary home at 7 Stages in Little Five Points beginning on August 10th. But you know Dad's Garage's loveable scamps - they're going to do it up right before they move. In addition to the regular shows, Dad's Garage will be hosting some killer events at our Inman Park space including a garage sale, a farewell improv show, and a giant party!

The Dad's Garage Sale: TODAY, July 21st at 8am - Everything must go... including us! We'll be selling a bunch of costumes, props, and more to help fund our move, so please come out and drop some dough! (And no, we don't ever get up that early, so plan on getting great deals from groggy and confused improvisers who've stayed up drinking all night!)

Free to the public.
Venue: Dad's Garage Theatre, 280 Elizabeth St., Inman Park.
