The Bartender is a comedic vertical series that follows Alex, a charming, handsome, albeit hapless 30-something year old Black man navigating life post breakup. Now, on the rebound, he stumbles through romantic misfires while clashing with his sharp-tongued supervisor, the Front of House. Set within a working theater, the series weaves in the artists and productions that bring it to life, capturing its culture, personalities, and everyday essence. Using the vertical format as an accessible entry point, The Bartender creates a new gateway into theater- building fresh audiences while connecting them to a timeless art form in a way that feels immediate, modern, and alive.
