Best Medicine Rep

Best Medicine Rep is a 501c3, nonprofit, professional theater company that specializes in new comedies. We became incorporated in 2016 and have been producing plays in the area since 2017. We are dedicated to the artistic, educational, and cultural development of the Gaithersburg and Montgomery Village areas of Maryland. We are here to entertain, to bring joy, to foster community and learning through shared laughter, to lighten our shared burden of existence for a short while. We focus on comedy because, broadly defined and properly presented, comedy encompasses all of human experience. It can make us laugh and make us cry. It can bring joy and it can bring anger. It makes us think and makes us forget. It exalts and ridicules. It can divert, and it can focus. Comedy levels life’s playing field. We celebrate comedy through theater because stories give comedy context. It is what allows empathy and purpose. Performed stories (theater) provide for the communal experience, the shared joy of laughter that we seek to achieve. Theater brings a community together, eliciting pride and engagement, a sense of ownership and cooperation. We believe that the comic theater is the cure for what ails us.

We love our volunteers! Here are some opportunities:

    1) Ushering (and see the show for free!)

    2) Building sets

    3) Building costumes

    4) Distributing posters and postcards

    5) Fundraising events
