THEATRE BEYOND BOUNDARIES
Wet Brain
Oct 15 - Nov 8
Dad is dying. His organs are failing. And he says aliens have been abducting him for years.
Inspired by true events and hopeless imaginings, WET BRAIN follows three distant siblings as they confront their father’s end-stage alcoholism, complicated family history, and increasingly impossible claims of extraterrestrial encounters. What’s real, what’s imagined, and what do we do when we can’t tell the difference?
5th wall theatre
takes over the BASEMENT
5th Wall Theatre is moving in & we’re bringing THOUGHT PROVOKING work with us.
5th Wall Theatre is proud to take the helm of the space formerly known as The Basement, ushering in a new chapter as 5th Wall Theatre at The Basement.
For years, The Basement has been a vital launchpad for artists in Richmond and beyond. As we step into this space, we do so with deep respect for that history and an exciting vision for what comes next. Under 5th Wall’s leadership, the space will continue to champion daring stories, bold experimentation, and artists who push the boundaries of what theatre can be.
In addition to our Mainstage productions, 5th Wall Theatre at The Basement will serve as a home for rentals, partnerships, and multidisciplinary work—welcoming artists across genres to create, collaborate, and take risks.
This is more than a venue. It’s a creative home, a gathering place, and a launchpad for what’s next.
Stay tuned—there’s much more to come.
