Endless Summer?

3 Weeks left. A few seats remain.

SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY has sold out 11 weeks, with only 8 more chances to see our version of an outrageous 90s sitcom straight out of must-see-tv.

Directed by 34 West actor-producer Becca Anderson, the musical is a homage to every NBC hit, every Meg Ryan movie, and SO many timeless tunes hilariously woven into a delightful situation comedy.

We introduced newcomers Cherie Kaufman and Kimi Hugli. We allowed owners-writers-actors Jeff and Steve to dress in drag and steal the night. We even made it rain indoors!

34 West really has become the perfect night out, complete with a list of curated wines from the region of Paso Robles, CA, hand-selected by our owners.

Thanks to all who joined in the fun this summer in downtown Charleston. Our hearts are, like totally, overflowing.

The Suspense Is Killing Us

Thrills. Chills. And a narcissistic German.

HITCHCOCK opens this fall, and believe us when we say, its unlike anything you’ll ever experience.

We gathered all the best cinematic moments from Hitchcock films and wove them into an original story. Then we made three actors play all the roles, threw in a bit of improvisation, and poof!! — the result is a show we can barely rehearse without the giggles.

Owners-writers-actors Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne are joined with newcomer Madison Moss (The Righteous Gemstones) in a play that is both hysterical and suspenseful. Both silly and chilling.

Because that’s what we do. Juxtapose opposite ideas and see what happens.

We’ll make the hero a milk toast. The matron a sexpot. The self-absorbed actor the savior. And so on.

Hitchcock’s stories are frighteningly naturalistic and eerie. Events that feel like they could happen to you. That’s what makes the villain’s evil.

But what’s more wicked? A narcissistic villain dead-set on destroying the world OR laughing at someone’s unfortunate demise because we killed them with a wet tea bag?

We’d love to know what you would choose.

The suspense is killing us.

Show Business

Writing every show, acting in every performance, serving drinks, seating patrons,… it’s a lot.

But then add all the other day-to-day tasks and we wonder how our team doesn’t go insane! More importantly, how do Jeff and Steve keep the stories flowing and the quality at a high level?

The secret may make you gag a little, but it’s true.

It’s “love.”

Love for each other, for those we work alongside, for the audience and for the content we’re creating. The world needs hopeful, optimistic, hilarious stories. Stories that inspire. Stories that make you root for the underdog. Stories that allow you to escape for a few hours and remind you there’s still a lot of good in the world.

This is what “show business” means to us: working hard to provide hope and laughter through original stories.

Come downtown some night and experience why our version of showbiz makes the world a better place :)

Tiffany & Roxanne

Sometimes dipping into insanity for a hot second is exactly what the story needs. There’s a moment in every performance when all decorum is thrown out the window.

We’ll break the “fourth wall”. We’ll parody a parody. Or we’ll introduce a one-off character that holds a mirror up to our hero, revealing some sort of truth.

Enter Tiffany and Roxanne.

Two elderly women trying their best to be young and relevant and always failing miserably. They’re often poignant, always hysterical and have now shown up in four separate productions.

Portrayed by owners-actors-writers Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne, these two always arrive when our hero needs them the most.

We first met Tiffany and Roxanne in a night club in UPTOWN GIRL (above). They encouraged Jersey to seek true love no matter what. Or at a coffee shop in SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT when they helped a divorced couple rekindle their romance.

In our current show, SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY, they help our lonely hero break out of her shell.

The benefit of writing every play is that we can reintroduce favorite characters into new stories.

Like a reoccurring role on a sitcom.

These are stock characters which help serve the story and our hero. Upstairs Joan, Largo Cutting, Marty Funkyballoo, Herbie Nine Lives,… all have stolen the show in multiple productions. And all have provided meaningful insight into our hero’s journey.

It may look like unorganized chaos. It may feel ridiculous. But watch out, these outlandish moments may just give you insight into the human experience.

Sorry, I Have Tickets to 34 West

The ultimate get out of jail free card.

For 7 years, we’ve sold out every holiday show before it began.

Its clinically proven you’ll live longer if you buy your 34 West tickets months ahead of time. Why? Because you’ll stop stress eating. Chain smoking. Purchasing tickets months in advance will improve your sex life.

Because you won’t be worried about those pesky holiday plans. You can sail into September and walk briskly through October knowing you already have plans.

“Hey son-in-law, want to come to my Sexy Secret Santa Party?”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.

“Hey co-worker, we’re decorating cookies at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight.”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.

This year’s production MOONSHINE promises laughs, hijinks, and most of all that warm feeling that comes only from being with the ones you love while everyone else is left out in the cold.

“Do you want to just hang out and do nothing this Christmas?”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.
