Your one-stop destination for live theatre, great bar specials, karaoke, and more! Established in 2007, The Browncoat Pub & Theatre is a strange hybrid.
While we are first and foremost a theatrical venue, we are also a geeky bar. Not only do we produce multiple plays a year, but we have nightly karaoke and a variety of other forms of entertainment, such as magicians and mentalists, comedians, art shows, and the Cape Fear Independent Film Festival. But at the root of it all, we can be summed up as a place where people can meet and share ideas, purs

Greetings everyone,
As you may have heard, we were unable to reach an agreement with the landlord that would work for us with the money we'd raised thus far, and so while we dearly wish that we could continue our efforts to keep the Browncoat Pub & Theatre open as is, it's just not possible.
The spirit of the Browncoat will live on, and in the future we hope to give the theater company a new home. The mission of providing a voice and outlet for those artists without other options is a vital one, and we remain committed to that mission. For the time being, though, we will be refunding all of the money that we raised as this goal is no longer viable.
However, we will be in touch when we're ready to try again, and we welcome and appreciate your donation to those efforts, whenever they may happen.
Thank you for helping us keep up the good fight.

Happy Friday everybody! We're getting down to the wire. We're meeting with the landlord on Sunday (storm permitting) to see if we can work out a final deal... but the more ammunition we have - including showing that the fundraiser is working - the better! We don't want to let him rent the building out to someone else, do we? So please, donate if you can, tell your friends, like, share, and SAVE THE BROWNCOAT!!!

Hey everyone… our fundraiser is going well, but we still have a lot of work to do. I want to make it clear; if this fundraiser doesn’t succeed, the Browncoat will no longer exist. Yes, we’re raising money to help with needed improvements, but we’re also fighting for the theater’s survival, so we need all of your help.
Also, I know there are some hard feelings and leftover resentment over the Browncoat’s previous owner, Richard Davis. Please understand; Richard is no longer a part of this. As of this morning, he and Amber have moved to Knoxville, TN. Not a penny raised will be going into his pocket. Every penny raised will go to one purpose – saving the Browncoat and keeping this haven for local artists around. I humbly ask your help in accomplishing that goal.
