Ian Bell’s Brown Derby Returns From The Dead With “Twilight”

December 4, 2025• byMichael Strangeways

More fun news…actor/producer IAN BELL has resurrected his beloved live stage parody series of beloved pop culture films from the 70s through the 2010s, the BROWN DERBY SERIES!!! It’s been over two years since the last show at Oddfellows Hall on Capitol Hill and several years since we had yearly programmed series at the much missed Re-bar. Now Ian has found a new home for Brown Derby at Theatre Off Jackson in the International District and he’s picked a new movie to lovingly skewer…TWILIGHT, everyone’s favorite film/book series about sparkly vampires in the Pacific Northwest!!!

But, you’ll have to wait until February to actually SEE this new production but tickets go on sale this coming Monday, December 8th and don’t dawdle about getting tix…people LOVE the Brown Derby series!

Twilight will run 4 nights only, February 4th throught the 7th. And, more about the series and the cast:

ABOUT THE SERIES
Ian Bell’s Brown Derby Series has presented “Ridiculously Staged Readings of Your Favorite Screenplays” since 1999, becoming a Seattle comedy institution with a loyal following. Director Ian Bell teams up with Seattle’s funniest performers in a willfully misguided attempt to deliver “movie magic” using cardboard sets, thrift store props, tortured wigs, and the audience’s own inebriated suspension of disbelief. The Stranger dubbed the Brown Derby Series “the Crown Prince of Seattle’s marvelously ramshackle theater tradition!” 

ABOUT THE SHOW
The Brown Derby Series sinks its teeth into the brooding world of sparkly vampires, angst-ridden teens, and one very intense biology class. When a shy newcomer arrives in the gloomy town of Forks, she falls for a mysterious classmate with an even more mysterious thirst for… well, you know. This “hilariously adapted, ridiculously staged reading” is the perfect Valentine’s Day pre-funk for everyone who knows love bites… hard.

But, not necessarily in that order.
