QUIET PARTY

FRIDAY July 16th @ 8pm

Verbal Assault has been sentenced to “Silentary Confinement”! What are we to do?!? Well, we are going to have a QUIET PARTY of course. Use movement,  body language, facial expressions, chalk, paper and the GIANT Whiteboard to express yourself and a party we will have. Once you cross the threshold of silence, not a sound you will make, but you will be heard. Most creatively communicative will be awarded an awesome prize.

SIGN UP HERE!

SUNDAYS

11AM-2PM

5/23-6/13

In preparation for June 18th’s “Act Up People!”, the one act play competition at Verbal Assault, we are holding group writing sessions for people interested in writing and producing their own one act plays.

Players can pair up, work in small groups or solo to come up with a one act play worthy of a Tony!

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: This is DIY-style. We are working  from scratch and figuring it out as we go along because that’s how we do it.

BRING PEN, PAPER & IDEAS!

Here is an article from the Nov. 20th, 2009 Washington Post Weekend section all about The Soundry’s amazing Verbal Assaults–our Friday night open mic for poetry, comedy, story telling, improv, rants, performance art and more. Join us every Friday night for an eclectic mix of uncensored performances. Sign Up Here to perform!

1st & 3rd Fridays at 8pm

(except 1st Fridays which is Poetry Lab)

Verbal Assault has traditionally been a night of “anything goes”–from poetry to sketch comedy and everything in between. With a new host, madman Brian Wentz, we have twisted our twisted night of verbalocity, just a bit more. Oh, and we even threw in a bit of sexy.

Each week, we invite the brave and voyeuristic to embrace our new, weekly themes for a chance to win a prize, be entertained and most importantly, have a crazy good time not possible anyplace else in NOVA.

Verbal Assault Themes & Schemes Schedule:
