While we love everything about movies, a film isn't a live show. A theater show offers you real in-person entertainment. You could be a few inches away from actors as they take you on a journey full of heart, high-energy, and even suspense. This is why you should go to the theater more often and if you're interested in starting out, here's something that might intrigue you.
In Bro-Code, a two-man dramedy, a bank robbery goes wrong, and a security guard with a gunshot wound, two dissimilar bothers trapped in a warehouse and years of estrangement set the perfect stage for  Saddam (Xavier Ywaya) and Michael ( Ian Isaboke), to catch up and hash out unsettled scores.
