Thinking about coming out for our Auditions for "Pins & Needles" but are wanting to know a bit more about the show?

Despite it having faded out of the public consciousness over the past 85 years, it was hugely popular during it's run on Broadway.

Hey I worked on all of these games and you should buy them if you haven’t already.*

Hell, in this economy why not buy them again for the first time?!
