The Happening - A Live Reading
There appears to be an event occuring.
Join Theatre Contra, just in time for Earth Day, as we perform what is arguably the most logical movie to ever exist: M. Night Shymalan’s The Happening! We’re back at Tattooed Mom, so grab a drink, hop in a bumper car and get ready to yell at some plastic plants.

Tales From Letterboxed - Movie Quizzo Fundraiser
THIS MOVIE SUCKS!
Theatre Contra is hosting their first fundraiser! Join the team behind your favorite irreverant movie readings at your favorite sticker covered bar for an evening of movie trivia, performances, prizes, and more!
In between each round of trivia, we'll be doing a live reading of some of the weirdest, and wildest movie trailers that have ever existed.
Batman and Robin - A Live Reading
We hate to disappoint you…but our rubber lips are immune to your charms. This February, join us for an evening of superheroes, sidekicks, ice guns, phermones, and superfluous nipples! Theatre Contra is taking the script of Batman and Robin (you know, the nipple one), and performing it live!

Snakes on a Plane - A Live Reading
Snakes? Planes? Samuel L. Jackson? What more can you ask for?
Join us on January 19th at Meyers Brewing Company for a night of flying high with a few unwanted reptilian guests...Theatre Contra brings to life this modern cult classic with a LIVE performance of the movie script. Can you deboard without any bites? Or will you be left on the tarmac?

The Santa Clause - A Live Reading
This is exactly why you want a high quality fire extinguisher.
Get your red suits on and make some hot cocoa (though it's nowhere near as good as that made by a centuries old elf in a child's body), because Theatre Contra is bringing to life The Santa Clause at The Monkey Club! Join us on December 7th for some holiday cheer, mediocre parenting, and wild Christmasy time.
VIP Tickets available in advance. General Admission (PWYC) available at the door.
Scream - A Live Reading
What’s your favorite scary movie?
We are celebrating spooky month with what is arguably the greatest horror film in the last 30 years. Blood, knives, movie rules, and one hot cast all come together in at TMoms (now named Woodsboro) on October 25th.
VIP Tickets available in advance. General Admission available at the door.
Dare Night - School of Rock

Proudly part of the 2023 Philadelphia Fringe Festival.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - A Live Reading
Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice.
Vampires. Werewolves. Newborn Armies. Awkward love triangles. Is there more we need to say? We can't wait to perform the third movie in the 100% critically acclaimed series: The Twilight Saga. Join us at Tattooed Mom on August 14th...it's callled a compromise...or maybe coercion.
VIP Tickets available in advance. General Admission available at the door.
