parabasis:

in Greek comedy, when the chorus steps forward

to express the views of the dramatist on politics and other matters

Founded in Washington, DC, in 2015, Next Day Theater brought together some of the city's most talented emerging theater professionals for a series of successful sketch comedy performances.

Now, as the nation experiences waves of change and turmoil,

NDT brings you Parabasis. The political comedy podcast series is steeped in a tradition of tactical frivolousness that dates back to the first time Aristophanes put someone in a fat suit.

"The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."

-Mark Twain

"Man is the most intelligent of animals. And the most silly."
