Best Medicine Rep Theater Company

Meet our headliner for Best Medicine Rep’s Comedy Night this Monday, July 22, 2024. Bill Santiago is a stand-up comedian, author and former journalist. As the first born of at least four children, he became a comic after narrowly escaping a career in journalism, facing the fact that as a comedian he was funny, but as a reporter he was a joke. Bill presented his own comedy special “Pardon My Spanglish” on Showtime and has appeared on “Comedy Central Presents,” “Conan O’Brien,” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” Reserve your tickets now at https://bestmedicinerep.org.  There are only 5 seats left! This event will sell out!

As for Matthew--in his words, "following the long tradition of mediocre men riding the coattails of the talented women who came before them..." Matthew Marcus is an actor, writer, and comedian who developed a companion piece to The Lily Show called The Matthew Presentation! He's also a board member and frequent actor at Best Medicine Rep.

Review: CIVILIZING LUSBY at Best Medicine Repertory A lone man taking on a developer to keep his property. A woman being courted by a man of means favored by her parents and a rogue. A couple whose prosperous appearance masks deep insecurity, secrets, and recriminations. These are all familiar elements, perhaps even cliches, but in Best Medicine Repe...
