Featured Performer: Brady Ireland

Brady has had to dive deep into his creative outlets expressing himself with music by way of playing his guitar, as well as practicing DJ sets. He has made some satirical and comedic videos which have been fun to share online, and even funnier to create.
Humor has helped to keep him sane throughout all of this uncertainty just as it has helped him through most of his life. He has tried to treat this time as a gift, despite it feeling like a overly dramatic motion picture no one wanted to be in.
See what he's been working on.

Birds and Broads
Cast: Jacque Arend and Liz Hutchman
Starting as a one-night-only performance, Birds & Broads have now been performing together for four years. They focus on a single location scene, creating a strong relationship at the top after which they may or may not explore the other characters who inhabit that space. Their shows bounce from being utterly hilarious to edge-of-your-seat engaging.

Patsy's mission statement: For everyone to come together, crack up and get cookin' America! Join her in her comedic culinary adventures on her very own show: "What's cookin' in the Kitchen with Patsy?"
