The Drinking & Writing Theater brings you the SportsCenter-esque Barnstormers this winter as a way to kick of your Saturday nights. This fast-paced comedy is written and performed by Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda. While chugging beers and downing shots, they explore the various connections among drinking, writing, sports, theater as sport and, most importantly, the ties between legacy and failure. Their commentary is equal parts history lesson and hilarious spoof of the business that is sports. The weather outside is frightful, so sit back and enjoy a beer or five while Benjamin and Mosqueda toss the laughs your way.

Like bear-baiting and fighting with cudgels, theological disputation is one popular entertainment that’s no longer, well, popular. That said, the folks at Drinking and Writing Theatre are doing their best to revive the pastime with God vs. Hall & Oates, which pits the creator of everything against a song-writing team whose fame stretched all the way from the early ’80s to the mid ’80s. In short, it is the author of the Good Book versus the masterminds behind “She’s Gone” and “Maneater.” Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda will present their arguments on the musicians’ behalf and might even channel Hall & Oates to bring down the myth of divine sovereignty. Of course, God, too, will have her say, and — obviously — literature and alcohol will be a large part of the process. In addition to God and the music of Hall & Oates, expect a special visit from Carolyn Shoemaker from Trap Door Theatre and Drinking & Writing’s Christmas show, A Beer Carol.
